Our Commitment to You

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you sign up for updates or our beta program, we collect:

When you visit our website, we automatically collect anonymous analytics data including:

• Pages visited and navigation patterns

• Device type and browser information
• Referral source (how you found us)

This data is collected without cookies and does not personally identify you. IP addresses are masked at the infrastructure level.

StratoLens Data Collection

StratoLens is deployed entirely within your own Azure environment, and your infrastructure data never leaves your control. The following sections describe what data is transmitted to StratoLens LLC.

Data Always Collected (Required for License Validation)

The following data is transmitted after each successful scan for license management purposes:
