Additional Sign-In Authentication
In addition to standard login credentials, some of our services allow single sign-in functionality via a Google, Salesforce or alike account. In these cases you will be subject to their corresponding terms of use, policy policies and cookie notices.
Cloud Storage
Some of our services allow single sign-in to related cloud storage accounts to enable additional access and searching of document/artifact contents. For example, using your Google account to do text searching within your Google Drive.

Cookies & Tracking
Here you will find out more about what types of cookies & tracking technologies we use, why, and how you can control them.
What / Why?
We use cookies and other tracking technologies like web beacons, which are small text/graphic files containing information sent to your computer/mobile device when you visit our website or use our services. Our third party providers and us use both session-based types (that expire when you close that session) and persistent-based types (locally stored across sessions) of these files.
We use cookies and tracking beacons to help our website/services operate more effectively, such as being more responsive to your preferences, pre-populating fields and to remember display/control settings. This is done for your convenience as well as to provide us with information on which parts of our website/services are being viewed, clicked and linked. They also help us to derive analytics and deliver you more appropriate marketing communications. Examples of our usage include Google Analytics, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Salesforce applications.
Control
Many browsers have controls for accepting/rejecting/disabling cookies that you can manage to help protect your own personal data rights.
If you choose to reject our cookies & tracking beacons then please note that some of our offerings may not work correctly or be available.
Custody & Rights
Unless you advise us otherwise, we will keep your data while we hold a relationship with you, and/or where there is a reasonable on-going need for retention such as tax records.
Your rights include being able to ask us what personal data we hold about you, request a copy, correct/amend, restrict/object to processing or ensure it’s deleted.
At any stage you can withdraw any marketing communication consent by clicking an unsubscribe link in each such email or by contacting us at any time through our website.
These rights can be exercised at any time by phone, email or contact forms listed on our website.
We will also review and investigate in a timely manner, any issues in relation to your personal data that you raise directly with us, or as notified through an appropriate data protection authority.
