    METHOD & METRIC / INFORMATION

    Privacy Policy

    How information is handled when you use Method & Metric.

    Last updated: 26 October 2026

    How the publisher handles access-related information, correspondence and links to external services, together with the rights available to readers.

    01

    Controller and scope

    Method & Metric provides editorial resources about data analytics, artificial intelligence and SAS learning technologies. The website operator responsible for its own handling of personal data is SAS Worklife Lnsurance, with the address 50 Rue La Boétie, 75008 Paris, France.

    Its company register name is separately recorded as Worklife Insurance. The publisher’s identifiers are SIRET 907916498 00039 and French VAT ID FR 79907916498. Registration history, incorporation date and status information are set out in Contact & Publisher Information.

    This policy addresses reading the site, contacting its operator and following external resource links. A third-party provider’s processing, including access to SAS accounts or software, is subject to that provider’s own policies.

    02

    Information associated with website access

    Hosting and website-delivery services may process request information such as an IP address, the time of access, a requested page, browser and device characteristics, and security or error events. Such information can be relevant to delivering a requested page, investigating misuse and maintaining site availability.

    Visitors are not required to register or provide payment details to read the site. Method & Metric does not create SAS accounts or collect enrolment information for SAS academic programmes.

    03

    Purposes and legal basis

    Information associated with website access may be used to deliver content, protect the service, investigate technical problems and comply with applicable obligations. Where required, processing is based on an appropriate legal basis, which may include legitimate interests in a secure service, legal obligations or consent for optional processing.

    Accessing the site is not treated as a general agreement to receive promotional communications. Separate consent is required where applicable.

    04

    Service providers and external links

    The site links to SAS product information, official documentation, education programmes and communities. When readers move to those services, the destination provider controls the information it requests and its conditions of access.

    Hosting and security suppliers may process technical data for the publisher under appropriate controls. Cross-border data transmission may occur where permitted by law and subject to applicable safeguards.

    05

    Retention and protection

    Technical information should be retained only for legitimate operational, security or legal purposes and no longer than necessary for those purposes. Access to retained material should be limited to authorised persons.

    Reasonable technical and organisational protections are intended to reduce risks of unauthorised disclosure or loss. Avoid sending passwords, sensitive records or account credentials in unsolicited correspondence.

    06

    Rights and privacy requests

    Depending on the law that applies, individuals may request access to or correction of personal data, information about processing, or withdrawal of consent where relevant. Statutory exceptions and suitable identity verification may apply.

    Send privacy correspondence to SAS Worklife Lnsurance, 50 Rue La Boétie, 75008 Paris, France, explaining the request and providing a safe correspondence address. The publisher identification page includes the complete company details. Applicable rights to raise a concern with a competent supervisory authority remain unaffected.

    07

    Policy changes and related documents

    This policy is updated when the publisher’s practices or applicable requirements change. The revision date is shown at the beginning of the document. Details of optional browser technologies are discussed in the Cookie Policy.

    For conditions applicable to the editorial materials and links, see the Terms of Use. For the publisher’s registered address, prior company names, incorporation and VAT information, see Contact & Publisher Information.
