Links to third-party sites
This Website may contain links to other websites or services that are not controlled by Baker Tilly; these links are provided for your convenience and information. We are not responsible for any third party’s data collection or privacy practices, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies or notices posted on those third-party websites for further information.
Social features, advertising and analytics
Certain functionalities on the Website permit interactions that you initiate between the Website and third-party services, such as social networks (“Social Features”). Social Features enable you to send content between the Website and a third-party service. If you use Social Features, and potentially other third-party services, information you post or provide access to may be publicly displayed by the third-party service you use. Also, both Baker Tilly and the third party may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Website and the third-party service.
We may engage and work with service providers and other third parties to serve advertisements on third-party services. These ads may be tailored to your interest based on your use of the Website and elsewhere on the internet, sometimes referred to as “interest-based advertising” and “online behavioral advertising,” which may include sending you an ad on a third-party service after you have left the Website (i.e., “retargeting”).
We may use Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, or other service providers for analytics services. These analytics services may use cookies and other Tracking Technologies to help us analyze Website users and how they use the Website. Information generated by these services (e.g., your IP address and other Usage Information) may be transmitted to and stored by these service providers and these service providers may use this information for purposes such as evaluating your use of the Website, compiling statistic reports on the Website’s activity, and providing other services relating to Website activity and other internet usage.
Information you disclose publicly or to others
The Website may permit you to post or submit User-Generated Content (“UGC”) including, without limitation, written content, comments, files, user profiles, pictures or photos, data, or other content, including personal information. If you choose to submit UGC to any public area of the Website, your UGC will be considered “public” and will be accessible by anyone, including Baker Tilly. For example, you may post public comments on videos or interact semi-publicly with registered users via the Assurance and Consulting Huddle Client Portal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless otherwise explicitly agreed by us, personal information included in UGC is not subject to Baker Tilly’s usage or sharing limitations, or other obligations, under this Privacy Policy or otherwise, and may be used and shared by Baker Tilly and third parties to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law. Baker Tilly encourages you to exercise caution when making decisions about what you disclose in such public areas.
Additionally, the Website may offer you the option to send a communication to a friend or other contact. If so, Baker Tilly relies on you to only send to people that have given you permission to do so. The recipient’s personal information you provide (e.g., name, e-mail address) will be used to facilitate the communication. Your contact information and message may be included in the communication.
