We also act as a ‘Data controller’ when we collect personal information on our own behalf and for our own commercial and business purposes, such as from Site visitors or to register Customers, to improve our machine-learning and artificial-intelligence technologies or send marketing.
Please note that how you exercise certain rights will depend on whether Peruse is processing your personal information as a ‘data controller’ or as a ‘data processor’ – as further explained throughout this Privacy Policy.
Any questions about this Privacy Policy or requests for access to or deletion or rectification of personal information that Peruse collects and processes should be addressed to us at support@peruse.ml.
Peruse may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, in its sole discretion. If we do so, we will post an updated Privacy Policy on the Site along with a change notice.

Peruse engages third-party advertising networks (“External Ad Partners”) to display advertising about our Services when you visit other websites within that advertising network. Like many other companies, we rely on retargeting, also known as remarketing, which is a type of marketing strategy that helps businesses “remind” visitors of their products and services after they leave their websites. For instance, through the use of cookies (and similar technologies) placed by External Ad Partners, Device Information, Usage Information and Location Information (as explained above) are collected and then used to identify visitors to our Site on other websites. With this information, our External Ad Partners may serve relevant ads on consumers who previously visited the Site.
Please note that with respect to advertising, our External Ad Partners share the information that they collect on our Site with many other companies within the advertising supply chain. Peruse does not have a direct relationship with these other companies.

We use reasonably appropriate security measures designed to protect the security of personal information both online and offline. These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect, process and store and the current state of technology. Please note, though, that no website or internet transmission is completely secure, so while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or a data breach will never occur.
Certain internet web browsers allow a “do not track” (DNT) setting that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to websites visited by the individual about the individual’s browser DNT setting. At this time, we do not currently respond to DNT signals, whether that signal is received on a computer or on a mobile device.
How you make choices about cookies and other tracking technologies depends on the typeof cookie or tracking technology being used. For details on how to manage your preferences for cookies and tracking technologies within your web browser, please see our Cookie Statement below.
