InterSystems Corporation Privacy Statement

Both in person and through the Internet we occasionally receive information that could identify individuals, so we have created this Privacy Policy to explain how that information is used. If you have questions after reading this policy, please contact us at privacy@intersystems.com.

Privacy and Your Information

InterSystems respects and values both the information you share with us and your privacy. We will not sell your personal information.

Scope of the Policy

The Privacy Policy covers all information received by InterSystems through online forms and email addresses published on our website at InterSystems.com, or provided in marketing materials such as brochures, direct mail, advertisements, etc. This policy does not cover any other information received by InterSystems.

How Information is Collected

InterSystems collects and maintains information sent via online forms and email addresses published on our website. The InterSystems website logs information such as which pages are visited on the website and which links lead to the website. Information may also be gathered from data stored locally on a browser (commonly known as “cookies”). InterSystems may use third parties to collect and analyze logged data, such as services which support conversion tracking. Information submitted by other methods such as postal mail or telephone is outside the scope of this policy. InterSystems also collects data from posts and submissions made by the users of its communities and developer forums (for example, Developer Connection).

How Information is Used

Information received by InterSystems may be used and shared among internal departments, offices, and affiliates. In addition, information may be stored in “cookies” on a browser to enable efficient recognition of registered users. Contact information submitted through the website may also be used to reach an individual to provide news and/or announcements such as new product information, maintenance releases, services, and upcoming corporate events. Third-party agents may be employed to help manage the distribution of announcements and analyze information. For more information about the purposes for which we would collect personal information, please see our GDPR Statement.

Transmitting Information to InterSystems

All information received through our website, communities websites, or other forums owned or operated by InterSystems, will be treated as non-confidential, which includes, but is not limited to, business plans, inventions, and commercial information. Submitting such information shall not create an obligation of any kind by InterSystems, and InterSystems shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose, and distribute information to others. This policy does not define or modify InterSystems’ responsibilities and obligations with respect to protected health information, any information transmitted in the furtherance of an existing contractual relationship between InterSystems and you or another party, or any statutory obligation and such transmission is subject to the Information Sharing Terms.

Terms of Use

Sending information via InterSystems.com will act as the sender’s consent to the following: (i) the use of such information as described by InterSystems Privacy Policy, (ii) agreement to resolve any dispute according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States, (iii) and exclusively limiting dispute resolution to arbitration in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Controlling Your Information

Information gathered from third party services may be limited or prevented through browser configuration (examples include “Do Not Track” mode in certain browsers) and managing your privacy preferences on the third party sites (such as disabling “Promoted content”). For more information, please see If you would like your information to be suppressed from future communications or would like to provide/update your contact information, please contact our marketing privacy coordinator at privacy@InterSystems.com or call (617) 621-0600.

Data Protection Principles

Various data protection and privacy laws around the world, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, specify legal principles for processing personal information and many laws provide for the appointment of Data Protection Officer (DPO).

The task of the DPO is to ensure, in an independent manner, that such data protection and privacy laws are applied in the company.

The DPO is also required to maintain an inventory of operations that involve the processing (collection, use and/or disclosure) of your personal information carried out by the company. More information about the privacy and security controls is discussed in our Data Protection, Privacy, and Security White Paper.
