2. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to:

• The Lineage Advisor for Microsoft Purview connector.
• Connector documentation pages.
• Marketplace onboarding and support interactions related to the connector.

This policy does not replace a customer's own privacy notices for their employees, users, or data subjects.

3. Customer And Lineage Advisor Roles

For customer-controlled metadata and lineage content, the customer determines what systems are connected, what scopes are enabled, and what data is published into Microsoft Purview.

Lineage Advisor generally acts as a service provider or processor for customer-controlled connector content, and as an independent controller for limited business operations data such as website inquiries, support communications, billing administration, and security operations.

Customers are responsible for having appropriate rights and notices for the information they choose to connect, process, or publish through the connector.

4. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information.

Account And Administrator Information

• Name.
• Business email address.
• Organization name.
• Microsoft Entra tenant ID.
• User or administrator identifiers.
• Role or permission information needed for setup and support.

Marketplace Subscription Information

• Microsoft Marketplace subscription ID.
• Offer ID and plan ID.
• Subscription status.
• Purchaser and beneficiary tenant details.
• Quantity, term, and lifecycle events where applicable.

Connector Configuration

• Microsoft Purview account and collection configuration.
• Databricks workspace, account, catalog, and schema configuration.
• Authentication metadata required to validate access.
• Sync schedules and feature settings.

Governance Metadata And Lineage

Depending on customer configuration and source-system permissions, the connector may process:

• Asset names.
• Catalogs, schemas, tables, views, and columns.
• Job, notebook, workflow, and pipeline metadata.
• Lineage relationships.
• Owners, tags, descriptions, classifications, and glossary references where available and enabled.

The connector is designed to process metadata and lineage. It does not require table row values to publish lineage into Purview.

Customers should avoid including secrets, credentials, personal access tokens, private keys, regulated data, or unnecessary personal information in metadata fields, support attachments, screenshots, or configuration values.

Operational And Security Data

• Sync status.
• Validation results.
• Error messages.
• Request IDs.
• IP address and user agent for access and security logs.
• Authentication and authorization events.
• Support diagnostics.

Support And Communications

• Support tickets.
• Emails and meeting notes.
• Attachments or screenshots that customers choose to provide.

5. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Provide, operate, and secure the connector.
• Authenticate users and administrators.
• Resolve, activate, and manage Marketplace subscriptions.
• Configure and run metadata and lineage sync.
• Publish approved metadata and lineage into Microsoft Purview.
• Provide support and troubleshoot issues.
• Monitor service reliability and security.
• Meet legal, tax, accounting, compliance, and contractual obligations.
• Improve product quality and documentation.

We do not use customer connector content for advertising.

6. AI And Model Training

Lineage Advisor does not use customer connector metadata or lineage content to train third-party foundation models by default.

If optional AI-assisted features are enabled, the applicable provider, data categories, retention behavior, and controls should be disclosed in the customer's agreement or product configuration.

7. How We Share Information

We may share information with:

• Microsoft services used for Marketplace fulfillment, identity, hosting, and Microsoft Purview integration.
• Infrastructure, logging, monitoring, support, CRM, and security vendors listed in our subprocessor documentation.
• Professional advisors, auditors, and legal authorities where required.
• Customer-authorized administrators and users.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

8. Subprocessors

Current subprocessor information is published at:

Subprocessors

Customers may request additional details through the support or privacy contact.

Lineage Advisor expects subprocessors to process information only as needed to provide contracted services, support operations, maintain security, or meet legal obligations.

9. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including:

• Encryption in transit.
• Encryption at rest for managed storage.
• Least-privilege access.
• Tenant isolation controls.
• Access logging.
• Security monitoring.
• Incident response procedures.

No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers should configure scoped credentials, rotate secrets, and remove unused access.

Customers should notify Lineage Advisor promptly if they believe credentials used with the connector have been exposed or misused.

10. Retention

We retain information for as long as needed to provide the connector, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, and support customers.

Default retention targets are described in Data handling. Customer agreements or regulatory requirements may set different retention periods.

11. International Transfers

Information may be processed in countries where Lineage Advisor, its service providers, or customer-selected cloud regions operate. Where required, we use contractual and operational safeguards for cross-border transfers.

Customer-selected cloud regions, Microsoft tenant configuration, connected systems, and support interactions may affect where information is processed.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and relationship with us, you may have rights to:

• Access personal information.
• Correct personal information.
• Delete personal information.
• Restrict or object to processing.
• Request portability.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Appeal or complain to a privacy authority.

To make a request, contact:

privacy@lineageadvisor.com

For customer-controlled connector content, we may direct the request to the customer administrator because the customer controls the connected systems and Purview environment.

We may need to verify identity or authority before acting on a privacy request.

13. California Privacy Notice

For California residents, we provide the following additional notice:

• Categories collected: identifiers, business contact information, internet or network activity, commercial information related to Marketplace subscriptions, professional or employment-related information, and customer-controlled metadata where configured.
• Sources: you, your organization, Microsoft Marketplace, Microsoft Entra ID, connected customer systems, and support communications.
• Purposes: service delivery, authentication, billing/subscription administration, security, support, compliance, and product improvement.
• Sale/share: we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
• Sensitive personal information: we do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics.
• Rights: California residents may request access, deletion, correction, and opt-out rights where applicable.

14. Children

The connector is intended for business and enterprise use. It is not directed to children.

15. Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date and provide notice as required.
