Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 13, 2020

1. OVERVIEW

1.1 Welcome to the websites, applications and services provided by Insider Inc., a Delaware corporation (on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, "Insider Inc."), which include without limitation intelligence.businessinsider.com, https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

8.4 The companies we work with to provide you with targeted ads are required by us to give you the choice to opt out of receiving targeted ads. Most of these companies are participants of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the targeted ads provided by these companies, and how to opt out of receiving certain targeted ads from them, please visit: (i) for website targeted ads from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/choices; (ii) for app targeted ads from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/appchoices; and (iii) for targeted ads from NAI participants, https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Opting out only means that the selected participants should no longer deliver certain targeted ads to you, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., in connection with the participants’ other customers or from other technology services).

8.5 Please note that if you opt out using any of these methods, the opt out will only apply to the specific browser or device from which you opt out. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any opt out options or programs, or the accuracy of any other entities’ statements regarding their opt out options or programs.

9. PROVIDING INFORMATION IS YOUR CHOICE

9.1 There is no legal requirement for you to provide any information at our Sites. However, our Sites will not work without certain "access information" described above. Failure of your browser to accept "cookies" will not prevent your use of our Sites but may prevent certain features from working.

9.2 For any "contact information" that is requested on a Site, failure to provide the requested information will mean that the particular feature or service associated with that part of the Site may not be available to you.

9.3 Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

10. HOW LONG WE STORE YOUR INFORMATION

10.1 We will only retain your information, for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for. We will retain and use your information as necessary to satisfy any legal, accounting or reporting requirements, to resolve disputes or to enforce our agreements and rights. In line with this policy, we will either securely delete or anonymize your personal data so that it cannot be linked back to you.

11. DATA SECURITY

11.1 The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your information and implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Sites; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. To prevent unauthorised access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate safeguards to secure the information we collect online, consistent with the policies of Insider Inc. and industry standards.

11.2 Our Sites may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

12. EMAIL POLICY

12.1 Insider Inc. offers email newsletters. If you no longer wish to receive emails, follow the "unsubscribe" instructions located near the bottom of each newsletter.

13. CHILDREN UNDER 16

13. 1 The Sites are not intended for children under 16 years of age. No one under age 16 may provide any information to or on the Sites. Insider Inc. does not knowingly target advertising to, or collect information from, children under the age of 16. If you are under 16, do not use or provide any information on the Sites or on or through any of its features, register on the Sites, use any of the interactive or public comment features on the Sites, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, telephone number, email address or any screen name or user name you may use. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 16 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at [email protected]. We also do not knowingly “sell” the personal information of minors under 16 years old who are California residents.

14. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to edit and reissue this policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised policy. Your continued use of our Sites indicates your consent to the privacy policy then posted. Please check this policy regularly for any changes. If the changes are material, we may provide you additional notice to your email address.
