Version: October 2024

Verisk Maplecroft (“Maplecroft” or “we”) respects your concerns about privacy. This Online Privacy Notice (the “Notice”) applies to personal data we collect as a result of our business interactions with you, or on www.maplecroft.com and grid.maplecroft.com (the “Site” or the “Sites”) which may include the personal data we collect during the account sign-up or account access process, and personal data we collect during the event registration process and other locations. The Notice describes the types of personal data we obtain, how we use the personal data, and with whom we share it. We also describe the rights you may have and how you can contact us about our privacy practices. Verisk Maplecroft is the data controller in respect of personal data that we collect through our business interactions, through the Sites, through the account sign-up or account access process or that you otherwise provide to us. Our contact details can be found at the How To Contact Us section at the end of this Notice.

Visitors to the Sites are subject to important limitations. Please review our Conditions of Use, which govern your visit to this Site on the World Wide Web. If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom (”UK”) or Switzerland, we will comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of personal data to recipients in countries outside of the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland.

Information We Obtain

Information That You Provide to Us

We may collect personal data that you choose to provide to us through the Sites, including, but not limited to, your first and last name, business address, e-mail address, or telephone number, such as when you:

Personal data that you provide directly to us will be apparent from the context in which you provide it, for example:

Each form on our Site varies in the information required and collected. In most cases, an asterisk (*) indicates the required information on a form. You may choose to provide additional information within fields that are non mandatory.

Information That We Collect Automatically

Our web servers may log information such as your operating system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. The web server logs may also record information such as the address of the web page that referred you to our Site and the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. They may also log information about your interaction with the Site, such as which pages you visit. To control which web servers collect information by automated means, we may place tags called “web beacons” — small files that link web pages to particular web servers and their cookies. We may also collect information from your browser, such as your browsing history, and use it in conjunction with data gathered from forms and e-mails to help us understand and respond to your needs.

“Do Not Track” Signals

Your browser settings may allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services you visit. Like many other websites and online services, we do not currently process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals from your browser or to other mechanisms that enable choice. Both we and others (such as our service providers) may collect personal data about our visitors’ online activities over time and across third-party websites.

Social Media Widgets

The Site includes social media functions, such as Twitter and LinkedIn widgets. These widgets may collect information about which pages you visit on the Site and the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. The widgets may also set a cookie to ensure the correct function of certain features.

Social media functions and widgets are hosted either by a third party or directly on the Site. Your interactions with the social media functions and widgets located on the Site are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them. If you use any of the social media functions or widgets on our Site, we strongly suggest you review the privacy policies of the companies that provide those functions and features.

LinkedIn Members

If you are a LinkedIn member and you visit our Site from LinkedIn, our Site may use tracking pixels — transparent graphic images placed on web pages — which, in combination with cookies, collect information contained within your LinkedIn profile as well as your access of and interaction with the web pages that contain the pixels. Verisk Maplecroft works with LinkedIn to provide Sponsored Updates and advertisements to your LinkedIn news feed. If you complete a form on our Site you will receive Sponsored InMails in your LinkedIn email account based on your visits to the Site and your perceived interests. To learn how to opt out of Sponsored InMail, navigate to Privacy & Settings in your LinkedIn account, choose the "Communications" tab, and then click "Turn on/off Partner InMail" to disable Sponsored InMails.

Information That We Obtain From Third Parties

Where permitted by law, we may acquire personal data about you from third parties. This may include personal data shared between Verisk affiliates, publicly-available profile information (such as your preferences and interests) on third party social media sites (such as LinkedIn and Twitter), and marketing lists acquired from third party marketing agencies. Data obtained from third parties will be similar to the data provided on a business card.

We may also collect personal data in other contexts that we will notify you of at the time.
