4. Cookies

We store certain information that gets collected automatically through Our Platforms via cookies and other similar technologies. A cookie is a small data file that a website that you visit transfers to your browser for identification purposes and may be stored on your hard drive. The vast majority of websites use cookies and a cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that Our Platforms use to track the pages you have visited. The only Personal Information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself, and a cookie cannot read other data stored on your hard drive or cookie files created by other sites. Cookies can be used to follow your activity while using a website or across websites, and that information helps companies understand your preferences and tendencies, as well as improve and personalize your website experience. Some cookies are necessary to operate a website, while others can be functional, analytical, or used for marketing purposes, including targeted advertising (as discussed in more detail below). Cookies on Our Platforms are generally divided into the following categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are required for the operation of Our Platforms and include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into password-protected portions of Our Platforms. These cookies are session cookies that are erased when you close your browser.

Analytical or Performance Cookies

These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors to Our Platforms and understand how such users navigate through Our Platforms (e.g., when and which pages are visited, in what order the pages are visited, and where a user is located).

Functional Cookies

These improve the functional performance of Our Platforms and make them easier for you to use. For example, cookies are used to remember that you have previously visited a portion of Our Platforms and asked to remain logged into it (e.g., this saves your username). These cookies qualify as persistent cookies because they remain on your device for use during your next visit to the Site. You can delete these cookies as detailed below.

Marketing Cookies

These record your visit to Our Platforms, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed to recognize you as a previous visitor, and to track your activity on Our Platforms and other websites you visit. These cookies qualify as persistent cookies because they remain on your device. You can opt out of these cookies through our cookie banner. If you opt-out, you will need to apply these opt-out settings in each browser and device from which you wish to opt out.

Third-Party Cookies

We also use certain third parties to provide features or functionality through the Service. For example, we use HubSpot to power some of the forms on Our Platforms that you may use to contact us, we use YouTube to host certain videos available on Our Platforms, we use PandaDoc for the management of contracts you may enter into with us for our Services, and we use HiBob to assist with recruiting and employment application services. You may learn more about HubSpot’s cookies at https://legal.hubspot.com/cookie-policy, YouTube’s cookies at https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies, PandaDoc’s cookies at https://www.pandadoc.com/legal/cookie-notice/, and HiBob’s cookies at https://www.hibob.com/privacy/cookie-policy/.

At this time, Glass Lewis does not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, which may include “do-not-track” instructions.

You may also prevent the use of certain cookies by modifying your Internet browser settings, typically under the sections “Help,” “Internet Options,” or “Settings.” If you disable or delete certain cookies in your Internet browser settings, you may still access Our Platforms, however, you might not be able to access or use important functions or features of the Services, and you may, for example, be required to re-enter your log-in details.

We maintain reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, alteration, or unintentional destruction. We have implemented various security measures to protect both the personal information and the general information that we receive from you through the Services. Whenever you give out personal information online there is a risk that third parties may intercept and use that information. Although we seek to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online.

You play an important role in keeping your information secure. You should not share your username or password with anyone. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, please contact us immediately at the contact information in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

Our security measures include:

Infrastructure

The infrastructure for Our Platforms is hosted and managed across multiple availability zones to support fault tolerance, high availability, and disaster recovery.

Access control

Access to our systems and information is based on the principle of least privilege and our personnel are only provided with access to the systems and information required to perform their duties. Administrative, remote and production infrastructure access require multi-factor authentication. All user accounts require a unique identifier, and shared accounts are prohibited. Regular user audits are conducted to confirm appropriate access.

Encryption and Pseudonymization

We protect your personal information and other confidential data across the Glass Lewis network and in our applications, both in transit and at rest, including the use of encryption and pseudonymization of data where necessary. All data is encrypted in transit via HTTPS, SFTP, or Transport Layer Security (TLS v1.2) connection and is encrypted (AES256) at rest.

Monitoring & Patching

We perform continuous monitoring of our network and Our Platforms through a variety of measures to monitor for, detect, and respond to security issues and incidents. In addition, weekly vulnerability scans and annual penetration tests are performed. Remediation and patching are performed based on the severity of the finding.

Software Development Lifecycle

For all major application changes, we perform source code reviews and security, functional, and performance testing in logically separate environments before implementing those changes into our production environment.

Security Incidents

We have developed standard security incident procedures to address incidents of unauthorized access or use of personal information. Our personnel are obligated to report suspected or known incidents and can do so directly to our Compliance Committee, managers, or anonymously via our Compliance Hotline. In any situation where your personal data may be impacted, you will be notified promptly following us being made aware of the suspected incident. Additionally, where we are not the controller of such personal information, we will, if and as required by applicable law, provide notice to the controller of any security breach or similar incident.

10. Additional Disclosures for Residents of California

For residents of California, this section describes how we collect, use, disclose, and “sell” (as defined under California law) the personal information of California residents, and the rights you may have under California law.
