Analytics. We may use third-party web analytics services on our Services, such as those of Google Analytics. These service providers use the sort of technology previously described in the “Information We Collect” section to help us analyze how users use the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information (including your IP address) collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services. We also use Google Analytics for certain purposes related to advertising, as described in the following section. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here.
Do Not Track. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on the Services for third-party purposes, and that is why we provide links to the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out pages, as well as choices provided by Google Ads and Google Analytics. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT. To learn more about Do Not Track, you can do so here.
This section provides additional information as required by the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and applicable Data Protection Laws in the United Kingdom, and supplements the information provided in this Privacy Policy.
Requests Regarding Client Information. Because OutSolve is a service provider that processes data on behalf of its Clients, any requests relating to the “Personal Data” (as defined under applicable EEA laws) of a Client established in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom should be directed to the Client, who is the controller of such Personal Data. We will cooperate with the Client in responding to any lawful requests under applicable Data Protection Laws.
Website Visitors. The Personal Data of visitors to our website is processed for the purposes described throughout this Privacy Policy. Generally, OutSolve processes this Personal Data on the basis of consent, for example, when we respond to your inquiries. However, we also process Personal Data on other bases permitted by the GDPR, including our legitimate interests, such as maintaining and improving our website and Services and marketing our Services to interested businesses and Clients.
Website visitors who are residents of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom may seek confirmation regarding whether OutSolve is processing Personal Data about you, request access to such data, and ask that we correct, amend, or delete it where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of applicable Data Protection Laws. You can submit such requests to info@outsolve.com which will be processed consistent with applicable law. Although OutSolve makes good faith efforts to provide you with access to your Personal Data, there may be circumstances in which we are unable to provide access, including but not limited to: where the information contains legal privilege, would compromise others’ privacy or other legitimate rights, where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in question, or where it is commercially proprietary. To protect your privacy, we will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to or making any changes to your Personal Data.
European individuals have the right to file a GDPR complaint directly with the appropriate Data Protection Authority. #
