Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the third party providing these features.

NB Our website may include links to other websites. The privacy practices of those other websites may differ from People Insight’s privacy practices. If you submit personal information to any of those websites, your information is governed by their privacy policy. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

We have a number of data collection forms on the website. These include the forms used by customers to subscribe to our newsletter and services updates, when downloading our resources or for example completing the “Get in Touch” form.

If you submit your details on these forms, or any other similar form we may implement in the future, we will save your personal details in our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database, including your download history and purchase history.
