SUMMARY. The Analysis Group websites (each, a “Site”) are brought to you Analysis Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies in Canada, France, Belgium, the United Kingdom and China (collectively, “Analysis Group,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This privacy statement (the “Privacy Statement”) is intended to inform you of our policies and practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that you provide to us when you visit this Site.

- INFORMATION WE TRACK.
- Cookies. Like many websites, we use “cookie” technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve the Site and our services. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk. The cookie data we collect, directly or through third party partners, may include information such as your browser type or the domain from which you are visiting, the webpages you visit, the search terms you use, and any files that you download. If you access the Site via a link contained within a marketing communication received from us, additional information may be collected by us or third party partners, such as your IP address. We allow certain third parties, like Google Analytics, to collect information about individuals directly through our Site for purposes of analyzing and optimizing our Site and services. More information about the use of Google Analytics for these purposes can be obtained by visiting Google’s privacy policy here. You may opt out of Google Analytics here.
Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can manage the cookies that Analysis Group uses by modifying your preferences in the cookie banner on our Site. You may also have the ability to change your browser settings to (for example): (i) notify you when you receive a cookie, so you can choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) automatically reject cookies (or certain types of cookies, such as cookies set by third parties). Note that similar controls may exist for other tracking technologies, such as pixels, SDKs, and localStorage. Please check your device or browser settings and related documentation for more information. Depending on your device and operating system, you may not be able to delete or block all cookies or other tracking technologies described in this Privacy Statement. In addition, if you want to reject cookies across all browsers and devices, you will need to do so on each browser and device that you use. - Log Data. When you visit the Site, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your IP address, browser type, and type of device you are using to access the Site. For most users accessing the Internet from an Internet service provider, the IP address will be different every time you log on. We use Log Data to monitor the use of the Site and for the Site’s technical administration. We do not associate your IP address with any other Personal Data to identify you personally, except in the circumstances described in Sections 4 or 6.
- Do Not Track. Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the web sites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the Do Not Track signal, we do not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals on the Site.
- Cookies. Like many websites, we use “cookie” technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve the Site and our services. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk. The cookie data we collect, directly or through third party partners, may include information such as your browser type or the domain from which you are visiting, the webpages you visit, the search terms you use, and any files that you download. If you access the Site via a link contained within a marketing communication received from us, additional information may be collected by us or third party partners, such as your IP address. We allow certain third parties, like Google Analytics, to collect information about individuals directly through our Site for purposes of analyzing and optimizing our Site and services. More information about the use of Google Analytics for these purposes can be obtained by visiting Google’s privacy policy here. You may opt out of Google Analytics here.
- ANONYMOUS INFORMATION. “Anonymous Information” means information that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data and does not permit the identification of individual persons. Analysis Group may anonymize your Personal Data in order to generate information that does not identify you personally, and use it in the course of our activities, for any purpose, in our discretion.
- CHILDREN UNDER 16 YEARS OF AGE. You should be aware that this Site is not intended for, or designed to attract, children under the age of 16 and as such, Analysis Group does not intentionally gather Personal Data about visitors who are under the age of 16. If you are under the age of 16, please do not use the Site or otherwise provide us with any Personal Data either directly or by other means. If we learn that any Personal Data we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 16, we will promptly delete that Personal Data.
- OTHER WEB SITES. The provision of links to other web sites on the Site is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such other web sites or their content. Analysis Group has no control over, does not review, and is not responsible or liable for these third party web sites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Statement do not apply to any third party web sites.
- SECURITY. We use commercially reasonable measures designed to maintain the security of Personal Data; however, no company, including us, can fully eliminate security risks associated with the transmission of information through online transactions, and you do so at your own risk. We are not liable for any loss, misuse or alteration of information on the Site by any third party.
- NOTICE TO U.S. RESIDENTS. Depending on the U.S. state in which you reside, you may have additional rights regarding our use of your Personal Data. These rights may include the right to know whether we are processing Personal Data about you and to obtain details about Personal Data we have collected about you; the right to obtain access to the Personal Data we have collected about you, and to obtain a copy of Personal Data in a portable format; the right to correct inaccuracies in your Personal Data; and the right to request deletion of Personal Data we have collected from you. You may also have the right not to receive retaliatory or discriminatory treatment for exercising any of these rights. However, please note that if the exercise of the rights described above limits our ability to process Personal Data (such as in the case of a deletion request), we may no longer be able to provide you with our services or engage with you in the same manner.
