This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into Insightly’s Terms of Service (the “Terms”). All other terms not defined in this Privacy Policy will have the meanings set forth in the Terms.

We may store all Personal Information we collect anywhere in the world, including but not limited to, in the United States, or other countries, which may have data protection laws that are different from the laws where you live. We endeavor to safeguard your information consistent with the requirements of applicable laws.

You may at any time opt-out from receiving these types of communications by changing the settings on your mobile device. Insightly may also collect location-based information if you use our mobile applications. You may opt-out of this collection by changing the settings on your mobile device.
  • “Do Not Track”. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers.

The online advertising industry also provides websites from which you may opt-out of receiving targeted ads from our data partners and our other advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs. You can access these, and also learn more about targeted advertising and consumer choice and privacy, at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and www.aboutads.info/choices/ (or if located in the European Union at http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/).
