InterSystems Corporation is a global company with employees, customers, business partners, job applicants, and website visitors interacting with us online, in person, as well as through phone and email. This Privacy Statement (this “Statement”) will explain how we use your personal information regardless of what your relationship is with us and how it is received; please note, in our efforts to keep this user-friendly, depending on the context, other privacy materials may supplement this Statement. For example, additional details relevant to job applicants may be found on our career pages. No matter what the scenario, however, InterSystems respects and values your privacy and will not sell your personal information. If you have questions after reading this Statement, please contact us at: GlobalTrust@InterSystems.com.

In short, no matter where you are, where you live, or what your citizenship, InterSystems provides the same high standard of privacy and data protection to all our users and customers around the world.

• Process your information in the contexts and purpose of Developer Connection, only if you are a member or are a customer representative.

• Understand which parts of our website you may have visited and how frequently.
• Provide better usability, troubleshooting, and site maintenance.

Additionally, information we receive will be used and shared among our internal departments, offices, and affiliates, only when there is a need and always subject to applicable law. Third-party agents may be employed to help manage the distribution of announcements and analyse information.
InterSystems may also receive your data indirectly from the following sources:

• Customer applications.
• Logged data from third parties for services such as conversion tracking.
• Posts and submissions made by community users and developer forums, e.g., Developer Connection.

InterSystems does not sell or share your information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes or other consideration. We share your information within InterSystems and with its subsidiaries, business partners, services vendors, authorised third-party agents, or contractors. InterSystems, headquartered in Massachusetts, United States, is the data controller processing your information. If, however, the data controller processing your information is located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the following applies:

• We may transfer your information to third parties located in countries outside the EEA, including countries which have different data protection standards than those that apply in the EEA. Our worldwide locations can be found at Worldwide Office Locations.
• If those partners or offices located outside the EEA are deemed adequate by the European Commission, we rely on the Commission’s decision to protect your information.
• If those partners or offices located outside the EEA do not have an adequacy decision, we use the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses ( SCCs Controller-to-Controller and SCCs Processor-to-Processor) and/or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office International Data Transfer Agreement ( IDTA Controller-to-Controller) to protect your information.
• When required, InterSystems may disclose your information to law enforcement bodies or regulatory authorities, in order to comply with any legal obligations. For more information about the purposes for which we would collect your information, please see our GDPR Statement.
  

You are in control of the information you directly provide us. You may also restrict the information gathered from third-party services which may be limited or prevented through browser configuration (examples include “Do Not Track” mode in certain browsers) and managing your privacy preferences on the third-party sites (such as disabling “Promoted content”).
