Cookies

Please read this section carefully as it contains important information on how we use cookies on our websites. This policy should be read together with this entire Privacy Policy (of which this cookies section is a part).

Insight, its service providers or other third parties may set cookies for your web browser when you visit our website, use our products or visit a website where Insight provides ads, content or analytics.

This section on Cookies only relates to your use of Insight’s websites. On our websites we may link to other websites owned and operated by certain trusted third parties to make additional products and services available to you. These other third-party websites may also use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own separate policies. For privacy information relating to these other third-party websites, please consult their policies as appropriate.

Use of cookies by Insight

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies may be used to store items such as identifiers and user preferences. A website may set a cookie to the browser used if the browser’s preferences allow it.

Generally, we use cookies in order to improve the user experience of this website in particular with customized content, tell us which parts of the websites the users have visited, keep track of your preferences while you are using Insight services, provide enhanced services, remember the location and language settings for individual users, provide general internal and customer analytics, and support security measures.For example, we may monitor how many times you visit the website, which pages you go to, traffic data, location data and the originating domain name of your internet service provider. This information helps us to recognise our visitors and to understand and provide what is most relevant to our visitors. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually.

For further information on our use of cookies, including a detailed list of your information which we and others may collect through cookies, please see our Privacy Preference Centre. There you can also change your cookie preferences by opting in or opting out of specific categories of cookies.

Types of cookies

The cookies we place on your device fall into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies—these cookies are essential for you to be able to navigate our website and use its features. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for could not be provided. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.

Performance cookies—These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.

Functionality cookies—these cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Targeting cookies— These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Consent to use cookies and changing settings

We will ask for your permission (consent) to place cookies or other similar technologies on your device, except where they are essential for us to provide you with a service that you have requested (e.g. to enable you to put items in your shopping basket and use our check-out process).

You can withdraw any consent to the use of cookies or manage any other cookie preferences by using our Privacy Preference Centre (accessible via ‘Cookie settings’ in the bottom right corner of our website). You can then make your choices using the sliders and buttons.

Please note, if you choose to block cookies via the browser, you may not be able to access certain parts or functions of this website.

Surveys

The information you provide for surveys will be used to support your relationship with Insight. Insight may use online surveys to ask visitors/customers for contact information (like their email address). We use contact data from our surveys to send the survey taker information about our company and promotional material on behalf of our partners. We may combine survey information with other data we hold about you.

Contests/Giveaways

The information you provide during contests and giveaways will be used to support your customer relationship with Insight. Insight may ask for contact information (like your email address). We use contact data from these events to send users information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners. The contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. We may combine this information with other data we hold about you.

Careers

When you apply to work with us, we may use contact data from your application to contact you and to schedule a personal interview. As a global business, we may transfer your personal information outside of your home country, to Insight’s affiliates, and to our third-party service partners. Personal information about unsuccessful candidates will be held after the recruitment exercise has been completed and may be reconsidered should an appropriate position become available. Insight will follow the applicable law as to erasure of such personal information. We may retain pseudonymized (de-personalized) statistical information about applicants to help inform our recruitment activities. Once a person has taken up employment with us, we will compile a file relating to their employment. At that stage, we will give more details about how we process and hold employee data.

Insight may use third-party service partners and a third-party recruitment tool (“Tool”) which leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to process application data. The Tool will make an automated decision on the suitability of your application based on predefined criteria, helping us filter candidates for careers at Insight; for example, when applying for a technical cloud-based role, the tool will look for experience, job titles, tenure, and skills which match our requirements. Candidates have the option to utilise a “Get Matched” function within the Tool, in which case you will be prompted to upload additional documents to the website, such as your CV, certificates and/or a cover letter. An automated algorithm compares the documents you provide with current vacancies at Insight. This enables us to provide you with further career opportunities tailored to your candidate profile. Insight’s recruitment team will review the scores and profiles produced by the Tool when considering applications. Our third-party service partners may also retain pseudonymized (de-personalized) information about candidates to assist with the development of their services, which may include further machine learning to improve their artificial intelligence models. If you do not want your personal data to be used for machine learning, you can submit your application by email.

Insight will not ask you to provide any sensitive personal information at the point of application. If you include any sensitive personal information within your application, we will process it as described above and in accordance with applicable laws.

You can exercise your data protection rights at any time. If you wish to update your employment, job history, and applicant data processed by Insight or withdraw your consent for participation in future recruitment, you may contact us as outlined in the Choice/Opt-Out/Rights section of this policy.

Information Disclosure

Insight will not give or sell any information regarding you or your order and the products you purchase to any outside organization for its use in marketing or solicitation without your consent, save for the limited circumstances outlined in this policy. Your information may be shared with group companies, agents, contractors or vendors of Insight who provide data processing services to us or who otherwise process personal data for the purpose of performing services for you or Insight or for the purpose notified to you when we collected your personal data. Insight may release personal data (including personally identifiable information) when required to by law if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, in response to a lawful request by public authorities, a court order or legal process served on Insight.

Insight may also share your personal data with a potential or actual buyer (and its agents and advisers) in connection with any proposed or actual purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of our business, provided that we inform the buyer it must use your personal data only for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Policy, as well as any other person with your consent to the disclosure.

We may also disclose your information if we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of the business or assets. If Insight or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, personal data held may be one of the transferred assets. Any third party who acquires assets from us may acquire all or part of our business. They may not be in the same line of business as we are. Similarly, your personal information may be passed on to a successor in interest in the event of a reconstruction, liquidation or administration.

Security

While Insight uses all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal data, no security program is impenetrable, and criminals have been adept at circumventing widely adopted security safeguards. Accordingly you acknowledge that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and that you provide personal information to Insight at your own risk. Insight cannot therefore guarantee the security or integrity of any personal data that are transferred from you or via the internet. Any user or third party accessing Insight’s website or services is responsible for its own use of the website and the services. Insight is not responsible for any third party’s actions or its security controls with respect to information that third parties may collect or process via the website, services or otherwise.

Insight uses what we consider to be reasonable and appropriate organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect information under our control. This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. All account information you use or supply on Insight's website when ordering or tracking products is held on a system which is designed to be secure. We use reputable advanced encryption technology which the aim to protect you from unauthorized use of information supplied on our website. In addition, we may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart and to gather broad demographic information.

Social Media Features

This website includes social media features, including Facebook “Like” button and Twitter “Follow” button. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on this website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on this website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site or our online ordering facility, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. Please make sure this password is unique and that you do not use this password for any other purpose. If you use another account (such as a social media account) to log on to a secure part of the Insight website, then please make sure that you keep that password secure as well. If you think that any of your passwords have been compromised, please notify us so that we can look after the security of your details on our website.

Links to Third-Party Websites and Services

This website may contain links to third-party sites. If you click on those links this will take you outside Insight’s service. We cannot control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites. We encourage users to be aware when they leave this website, and to read the privacy statements of each website they visit. This Privacy Policy applies only to this Website.

Retention of Personal Data

We retain personal data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

  • you have the right to opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us.
