Privacy Statement for Operation and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization feature)
TELUS International has integrated on this website the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website an affected person has come to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA; for Europe: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
TELUS International uses the addition “gat.anonymizeIp” for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addendum, the IP address of the Internet access of the data subject will be shortened and anonymised by Google if the access to our website is from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile for us online reports showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics uses a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are, has already been explained above.
By using this cookie Google is enabled to analyze the usage of our website.
Each visit to any of the individual pages of this website where the Google Analytics component has been integrated by the data collector, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically initiated by the respective Google Analytics component to submit data to Google for online analysis purposes. As part of this technical process, Google will be aware of Personal Information, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which serve, among other things, Google to track the origin of the visitors and clicks, and subsequently make commission settlements possible.
The cookies store personally identifiable information, such as access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of site visits by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, your personal information, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal information is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer such Personal Information collected through the technical process to third parties.
The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently contradicting the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software. Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics for the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the person must download and install a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as a contradiction. If the data subject’s information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must re-install the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or any other person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/en/about/analytics/.
Privacy Statement on Operation and Use of Google AdWords
TELUS International has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to run both Google and Google Network search engine results. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-set keywords that will display an ad on Google’s search engine results only when the search engine retrieves a keyword-related search result. In the Google Network, ads are distributed on topical web pages using an automated algorithm and according to pre-defined keywords. The operating company for the services of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA; for Europe: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based advertising on third-party websites and in the search engine results of Google’s search engine and by displaying advertisements on our website. If a data subject arrives on our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie will be stored on Google’s information technology system by Google.
What cookies are, has already been explained above.
A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. Regarding the conversion cookie, if the cookie has not yet expired on our website, it can be traced back to certain sub-pages such as the shopping cart from an online shop system. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to understand whether a data subject who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, ie, completed or canceled a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visitor statistics for our website. These visitor statistics are then used by us to determine the total number of users who have been sent to us through AdWords ads, in order to determine the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future.
Neither our company nor any other Google AdWords advertiser receives any relevant information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personally identifiable information, such as the web pages visited by the person concerned. Each time you visit our website, your personal information, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, will be transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal information is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer such Personal Information collected through the technical process to third parties.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently contradicting the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software.
Furthermore, the data subject has the opportunity to object to Google’s interest-based advertising. To do this, the person concerned must access the link www.google.com/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.
Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/
Under the CCPA, we are required to notify residents about the Personal Information that we collect about them, whether online or offline, and how we handle their Personal Information.
Categories of Personal Information that We Collect, Disclose, and Sell. Above we described the categories of Personal Information we collect from our Customers, which includes information about their end user customers (End User Information) and representatives (Business Contact Information). This Notice is directed to the scope of Personal Information that we collect about California residents in our capacity as a business, and not as a service provider. Accordingly, the Notice is focused on our collection and use of Business Contact Information, to the extent that we collect such information is subject to the CCPA.
We collect the categories of Business Contact Information as described above (see What Business Contact Information Do We Collect). We disclose Personal Information to service providers, Group Companies, in the event of a corporate transaction or event, and in furtherance of legal obligations, each of which is described above. We use Business Contact Information as described above (How Do We Use Business Contact Information), the main purpose of which is to communicate with you in the context of our business relationship (e.g., to provide the requested service).
We do not sell business contact information for monetary compensation. [Please note that the CCPA broadly defines a “sale” as disclosing or making available to a third party personal information in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. Although we do not monetize your information (e.g., we do not sell customer lists to other entities), we do make your information available in the following circumstances, which could be deemed to be a sale under CCPA: online advertising and analytics providers, e.g., we may permit such providers to place a cookie, tag, or other tracking tool on our website to assist us with our own advertising. These providers also may use your information to assist other companies with advertising as well.]
Your Rights. Except for the Right to Opt-Out and the Right of Non-Discrimination, this section does not apply to California residents who are business contacts to the extent that we are using your information in the context of our business relationship with your employer. California residents have the following rights:
- Notice at Collection. Right to be notified about the categories of personal information that we collect about you;
- Right to Opt-out of Sale of Personal Information. If you do not want us to share your information with advertising providers, click here.
- Delete: You may request that we delete your personal information; please note that exceptions apply to this request.
- Access: You may request (up to two times per twelve-month period) and, subject to certain exemptions, to receive a copy of the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you (in the past 12 months). You have the right to receive this information (at no cost to you) (a) by mail or (b) electronically in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily useable format that you could provide to a different entity. California residents also have the right to request that we provide them certain information about how we have handled their personal information in the prior 12 months, including the: categories of personal information collected; categories of sources of personal information; business and/or commercial purposes for collecting and selling their personal information; categories of third parties/with whom we have disclosed or shared their personal information for a business purpose; categories of third parties to whom the residents’ personal information has been sold and the specific categories of personal information sold to each category of third party.
Submitting Requests. Requests to Opt-out of Sale of Personal Information, Delete, and Access may be submitted by going to our California Individual Rights Page. We will respond to verifiable requests received from California consumers as required by law.
Right to Non-Discrimination. The CCPA prohibits discrimination against California residents for exercising their rights under the CCPA. Discrimination may exist where a business denies or provides a different level or quality of goods or services, or charges (or suggests that it will charge) different prices, rates, or penalties on residents who exercise their CCPA rights, unless doing so is reasonably related to the value provided to the business by the residents’ data.
Financial Incentives. A business may offer financial incentives for the collection, sale or deletion of California residents’ personal information, provided the incentive is not unjust, unreasonable, coercive or usurious, and is made available in compliance with applicable transparency, informed consent, and opt-out requirements. California residents have the right to be notified of any financial incentive offers and their material terms, the right to opt-out of such incentives at any time, and may not be included in such incentives without their prior informed opt-in consent. We do not offer any incentives at this time.
