We may use collected data to develop and test products and services. You may explicitly provide the Personal Data required for you to receive the software, support, or services, whether you purchase or use JetBrains Products, use our support forums, sign up for a JetBrains Account, register for a webinar, participate in a survey, and/or subscribe to receive marketing and/or technical information and content. This data may also be collected in the course of your using JetBrains Products. This processing also includes collecting data about your use of product features (such as AI quota consumption or statistics on AI suggestion acceptance rates). We may use [third-party service providers](https://www.jetbrains.com/legal/docs/privacy/third-parties.html), acting as data processors, to assist us in providing JetBrains Products to you or in our operations. For example, we may use [third-party service providers](https://www.jetbrains.com/legal/docs/privacy/third-parties.html) to provide data storage and backup services. The legal basis for this data processing is the performance of a contract between you and us. With your consent, your Personal Data may also be transferred to [third-party service providers](https://www.jetbrains.com/legal/docs/privacy/third-parties.html), acting as separate data controllers, who provide products and services complementary to JetBrains Products (further data processing performed by these service providers is governed by their privacy policies). The legal basis for this data processing is consent.

The legal basis for this data processing is JetBrains' legitimate interest in protection from piracy and from the unlawful use of JetBrains software and services.
