Automatic data collection

We and our service providers may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interactions over time with our website, our communications and other online services, such as:

We use the following tools for automatic data collection:

• Cookies, which are text files that websites store on a visitor‘s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser for the purpose of helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, and helping us understand website user activity and patterns. For more information on our use of cookies, read the “How we use cookies” section below.
• Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data, including on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
• Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.

How we use cookies

We use both persistent cookies and session cookies. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them, while session cookies are deleted once you close your web browser. The cookies placed through your use of our website are either set by us (first-party cookies) or by a third party at our request (third-party cookies).

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Necessary cookies: These cookies are required to enable basic website functionality. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Services may not work.
• Functional cookies. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
• Analytics cookies. These cookies help us understand how the Services perform, allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors interact with the Services. This helps us to improve the way our Services work. For example, Google Analytics collects information about how users use our website, which we then use to compile reports that disclose trends without identifying individual visitors, and help us improve our website. For more information on Google Analytics, click here.
• Advertising cookies. These cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Your privacy rights and choices

Opt out of marketing communications. You may opt out of marketing-related emails by following the opt-out or unsubscribe instructions contained in the marketing communication we send you. You may continue to receive service-related and other non-marketing emails.

Personal information requests. Depending on your location and the nature of your interactions with our Services, you may request the following in relation to the personal information we hold about you:

• Information about how we have collected and used your personal information. We have made this information available to you without having to request it by including it in this Privacy Policy.
• Access to a copy of the personal information that we have collected about you. Where applicable, we will provide the information in a portable, machine-readable, readily-usable format.
• Correction of personal information that is inaccurate or out of date.
• Deletion of the personal information that we maintain about you.
• Opt out of the sale of your information or sharing of your information for interest-based advertising. We may share information with third-party advertising partners and allow them to collect information about your use of the website to show you ads as described in the “How we use your personal information” and “How we disclose your personal information” sections above. Our disclosure of information to these partners may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable laws. You can opt out of these disclosures and limit our use of tracking technologies as described in this Privacy Policy, or by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of our website. You may also have the ability to reject or toggle off optional cookies by enabling the Global Privacy Control setting within the browser that you use to access our website. Learn more at the Global Privacy Control website. Please note that your opt out will be specific to the device and browser you use when you opt out. We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

To make a request, please email or write to us as provided in the “How to Contact Us” section below. Prior to responding to your requests, we may verify your identity by matching any requested identifying information you provide against the information we have about you. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. We will require authorized agents to confirm their identity and authority, in accordance with applicable laws. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination.

Limits on your privacy rights and choices. In some instances, your choices may be limited, such as where fulfilling your request would impair the rights of others, our ability to provide a service you have requested, or our ability to comply with our legal obligations and enforce our legal rights. If you are not satisfied with how we address your request, you may submit a complaint by contacting us as provided in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

Right to complain. Depending on your location, such as if you reside in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may have the right to complain to a data protection regulator where you live or work, or where you feel a violation has occurred.

Cookie choices. Depending on where you access the Services from, you may be presented with a cookie banner or other tool to provide permissions prior to non-necessary cookies being set. In this case, we only set these non-necessary cookies with your consent.

Limit online tracking. There are a number of ways to limit online tracking, which we have summarized below. Please note that these tools are not associated with us and we cannot guarantee that they work as their providers advertise them:

• Blocking cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit All About Cookies.
• Using privacy plug-ins or browsers. You can block our websites from setting cookies by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins like Privacy Badger, Ghostery, or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third party cookies/trackers. You can also opt out of Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Advertising industry opt out tools. You can also use these opt out options to limit use of your information for interest-based advertising by participating companies:
  • Digital Advertising Alliance for Websites: WebChoices and YourAdChoices | App Choices (for mobile opt outs);
  • Network Advertising Initiative: NAI Consumer Opt Out
• Platform Opt-Outs. You can also use the opt-out features offered by third-party advertising platforms, such as:

  • Google opt-out

Note that because these opt-out mechanisms are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt out on every browser and device that you use.

Do Not Track. Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or similar signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit AllaboutDNT.com.

Other sites, mobile applications and services

Our website may contain links to other websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third parties. These links are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. In addition, our content may be included on web pages or in mobile applications or online services that are not associated with us. We do not control third party websites, mobile applications or online services, and we are not responsible for their actions. Other websites and services follow different rules regarding the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites and mobile applications and online services you use.

Security

We employ a number of technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, no security measures are failsafe and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

International data transfer

You will provide personal information directly to KatRisk in the United States. We may also transfer personal information to our affiliates and service providers in the United States and other jurisdictions. Please note that such jurisdictions may not provide the same protections as the data protection laws in your home country.

When we engage in cross-border data transfers, we will ensure that relevant safeguards are in place to afford adequate protection for personal information and we will comply with applicable data protection laws, in particular by relying on an EU Commission or UK government adequacy decision or on contractual protections for the transfer of personal information. For more information about how we transfer personal information internationally, please contact us as set out in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

Retention of personal information

Where required under applicable laws, we retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed, in accordance with our retention policies, and in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory obligations.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information, the purposes for which we use personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Job applicants

When you apply for one of our open positions, we collect the information that you provide in connection with your job application. This includes but is not limited to business and personal contact information, professional credentials and skills, educational and work history, and other information that may be included in a resume or that you may provide during the interview process. This may also include demographic or diversity information that you voluntarily provide. We may also conduct background checks and receive related information. We also collect personal information from other sources where relevant for your application, such as employment research firms, recruiters, identity verification services, and information that you make publicly available on websites or social media platforms (for example, LinkedIn).

Throughout the recruitment process, we may supplement your personal information in connection with the assessment of your application. For example, we may record the views of those considering your application about your suitability for the role for which you have applied and retain interview notes. If you accept an offer from us, your personal information will be incorporated into and used as part of your employee record.

We use applicants’ information to facilitate our recruitment activities, process employment applications and personalize candidate communication, including evaluating candidates and monitoring recruitment statistics. We also use successful applicants’ information to administer the employment relationship. We may also use and disclose applicants’ information to improve our Services and for the compliance and protection purposes described above.

Children

Our website is not intended for use by children under 18 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal information through the website from a child under 18 without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will delete it.
