In addition, information that you submit to INSVIRON in response to an email request for information or other outreach from INSVIRON, will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you are a California resident, please see the California Appendix at the end of this Privacy Policy for further details on how we handle your information and how to exercise your rights.

Additionally, in connection with our mobile applications, INSVIRON may use third party service providers to analyze user activity to fix errors, monitor usage, and improve the performance of the mobile applications. For example, INSVIRON may receive reports on one of our mobile applications’ aggregate usage and browsing patterns, including information about the type of device used, articles accessed, and other events occurring within our apps. INSVIRON also receives reports on certain errors occurring within mobile applications. As another example, an INSVIRON app may offer a personalized list of recommendations directing you to INSVIRON content that we think you will find interesting. Recommendations are based solely on what you have formerly viewed in the app. In this example, a unique user identifier that is generated by the app helps personalize your app experience and tracks the articles that you read in the app. We do not share your viewing history or trends through such app with other users or any external third parties (i.e., persons or entities that are not affiliates or third-party service providers of INSVIRON).
Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

How We May Share Information
INSVIRON will not intentionally disclose or transfer (and will take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized or accidental disclosure of) your personal data to third parties without your consent or as otherwise permitted by law, whether for such third parties’ own marketing purposes or otherwise, except as follows. INSVIRON may provide access to your personal data to third party service providers engaged by INSVIRON to provide services related to the Sites as well as related to INSVIRON’s business activities, including in connection with some client services, in the manner agreed upon in our client services agreements. We maintain processes designed to ensure that any processing of personal data by third party service providers is consistent with this Privacy Policy and protects the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of your personal data.
The third parties with whom we may need to share personal information to help us provide services and products to you and to run our Site include: (i) our subsidiaries or affiliates, and (ii) our advisors and consultants, and (iii) our third-party service providers who process information on our behalf to help run some of our internal business operations including email distribution, IT services, the Site security and marketing and events services, and (iv) our business partners for publications and events co-organized by INSVIRON and them, and (v) law enforcement bodies or other government officials in order to comply with any legal obligation or court order, and (vi) bona-fide rights owners in connection with allegations of infringement of copyright or other proprietary rights arising from information that you have posted on the Site or otherwise provided to INSVIRON.
Because INSVIRON is designed as a global organization, we may need to transfer personal information which is collected on the Site or through other means as described under this Privacy Policy across any current or future INSVIRON company to help operate our business efficiently. This also includes third parties located in different countries around the world, including but not limited to outside of the EEA, Switzerland, UK, and the USA. These arrangements may involve your personal information located in various countries around the world INSVIRON maintains and stores personal information in systems and applications located in Europe as well as USA or Asia Pacific where privacy laws differ. The personal information is only accessible by authorized persons or vendors who are bound by privacy requirements, and we only make these arrangements or transfers where we are satisfied that adequate levels of protection are in place to protect information held in that country. In addition, the Site may be viewed and accessed anywhere in the world including countries that may not have laws regulating the use and transfer of personally identifiable information. Besides, INSVIRON may disclose or transfer your personal data in the event of a re-organization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, or other transfer or disposition of all or any portion of our business.
INSVIRON retains your personal information for so long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide services to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us or keep using our services) and the length of time thereafter during which we may have a legitimate need to reference your personal information to address issues that may arise; whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); or whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations). We may therefore retain personal data for longer than the duration of the business relationship should we need to retain it to protect ourselves against legal claims, use it for analysis or historical record-keeping, or comply with our information management policies and schedules. If you request that we delete your personal data, INSVIRON will make reasonable attempts to delete all instances of the information in their entirety.
