6. Confidentiality and Personal Information
For the purposes of these Terms, “Confidential Information” means all non-public information disclosed, made available, or otherwise provided by or on behalf of one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether disclosed orally, in writing, electronically, visually, or in any other tangible or intangible form, that is identified as confidential, proprietary, or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential or proprietary, including but not limited to:

The Receiving Party may only use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under these Terms. The Receiving Party shall only share Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to Receiving Party's employees, agents, and advisors on a need-to-know basis.
The Receiving Party will protect the Confidential Information shared by the Disclosing Party from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as the Receiving Party may protect its own Confidential Information, and with no less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for all acts and omissions of its representatives.
The Confidential Information shall exclude the following information:
- Information that the Receiving Party is compelled to disclose by law, or court, or an administrative order on condition that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure to the extent legally permitted and reasonable, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy;
- Information that is publicly available;
- Information obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of the third party's obligations of confidentiality.
The Receiving Party will destroy and erase the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information after the termination, or completion, or on the Disclosing Party's request, except where retained to comply with law or copies in the Receiving Party's automated back-up systems, which will remain subject to these obligations of confidentiality while maintained.
You agree and acknowledge that we shall reserve the right to modify our security measures from time to time provided such modifications do not materially diminish our security obligations.
Where the Platform or any component of the Services (including any PLG features, agents, local components, or downloadable applications) is deployed within your environment, including in a Customer-Hosted or VPC deployment, you shall be solely responsible for securing such environment, including network security, access controls, firewall configurations, identity management, and resource configurations.

Where applicable law provides for a reduction or elimination of withholding taxes, including via tax treaty, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to achieve such reduction or elimination.
