Overview
Cloudflare Zero Trust is a suite of cloud-based security solutions made available by Cloudflare to its Customers for use by their authorized End Users. Depending on the Cloudflare Zero Trust Services you have purchased and enabled, Cloudflare Zero Trust may include Cloudflare’s zero trust access solution for your applications (Cloudflare Access), Cloudflare’s secure web gateway and DNS filtering solution (Cloudflare Gateway), Cloudflare’s remote browser isolation solution, Cloudflare’s email security solution (formerly called Area 1), Cloudflare’s cloud access security broker (CASB) solution, and Cloudflare’s data loss prevention solution.
2. Seats
2.1 Cloudflare Zero Trust is made available on a Seat licensing basis, unless a different unit of measurement is specified on your Order Form. You may substitute an existing End User that occupies a Seat with a new End User in the event of the existing End User's termination or reassignment to another job function, without incurring an additional Fee.
2.2 You shall not resell Cloudflare Zero Trust to any third parties (e.g., in an ASP, managed security services, outsourcing, time-sharing or service bureau relationship) unless expressly permitted by Cloudflare in writing. Your violation of the foregoing shall be considered a material breach of the Agreement and subject to immediate termination of your account.
2.3 Cloudflare Gateway is subject to an Average Monthly DNS Queries limit of 10,000 DNS queries per Seat per day. “Average Monthly DNS Queries” means the number of DNS queries by your total Seats in a month divided by the number of days in such a month and further divided by the number of licensed Seats. For example, if you purchased licenses for 1,000 Seats and your Seats submitted a total of 30,000,000 DNS queries in the prior 30-day calendar month, your Average Monthly DNS Queries would be 1,000 (calculated as follows: (30,000,000 / 30) / 1,000 = 1,000). Cloudflare may continuously monitor your usage of Cloudflare Gateway on a monthly basis to determine your Average Monthly DNS Queries. If Cloudflare determines that your Average Monthly DNS Queries has exceeded 10,000 DNS queries per Seat per day, Cloudflare reserves the right to require you to purchase additional licenses as required. In the event you purchase the Service in the middle of a month, the Average Monthly DNS Queries calculation for that month shall be based on the number of days that you were subscribed for the Service in that month.
3. Cloudflare Gateway Content
By accessing or using the Service you may receive access to Cloudflare-provided threat intelligence and domain categorization data (“Cloudflare Gateway Content”). You may only use the Cloudflare Gateway Content in connection with the Service. You agree not to provide the Cloudflare Gateway Content to any third parties. If you feel that a website has been incorrectly categorized, you may submit a report here.
4. Cloudflare Email Security (formerly called Area 1)
For the purpose of Cloudflare Email Security services, Customer Content includes electronic communications and the content of and attachments associated with such electronic communications that you or your End Users transmit to or through the Services (“Email Content”).

You understand and agree that Cloudflare may freely store, use, and share with third parties for threat intelligence purposes Detection Data that does not identify you or any of your End Users.
5. Telemetric Data
Cloudflare processes telemetry data to deliver, enhance, improve, customize, support, and/or analyze Cloudflare Zero Trust and may otherwise freely use telemetry data that does not identify you or any of your End Users. You may have the ability to configure Cloudflare Zero Trust to limit the telemetry data collected, but in some cases, you can only opt out of the telemetry data collection by uninstalling or disabling Cloudflare Zero Trust. Telemetry data includes data that Cloudflare Zero Trust generates in connection with your use of Cloudflare Zero Trust, such as, threat intelligence data (e.g., suspicious URLs, metadata, malware); and information about the devices connected to a network and the types of software or applications installed on a network or an endpoint (e.g., client-type, operating system).
