  • Automatically collected information: such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and general usage patterns collected through cookies or similar technologies.
  • Data you upload or submit for analysis: if our services involve processing datasets or documents you provide, we handle that content solely for the purpose of delivering the requested service.

  • Sending administrative communications, such as updates about your request or our services;
  • Monitoring and improving the performance, security, and usability of our website;
  • Complying with legal obligations where applicable.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent, the necessity of processing to perform a contract or provide a requested service, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our services, or compliance with a legal obligation. This section should be reviewed against the specific jurisdictions in which Veritas Insights operates.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to recognise repeat visits, understand usage patterns, and improve site functionality. You can typically control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect certain features of the website.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International Data Transfers

If information is transferred across borders, we aim to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, in accordance with applicable data protection requirements. This section should be adapted to reflect where Veritas Insights and its service providers actually process data.
