4. What legal bases do we rely on for processing?
We must have a valid cause to process your personal data. GDPR specifies six legal bases on which businesses can collect, use, and keep personal data. We rely on four lawful bases:
- Necessary for contract performance
If you are a customer of ours, such as a magazine subscriber or a participant at one of our events, we will process your personal data only to the extent necessary to offer you with our products and services. - Consent
In some cases, we rely on your explicit consent to process your personal information. This is where you have voluntarily accepted and ‘opted-in’, for example, to receive marketing emails from us, and you can withdraw your consent at any moment. - Compliance with the laws
We may need to process and share your personal information to meet our legal responsibilities or to protect our or others’ rights. For example, we must gather certain information from you when processing your membership payment for tax or financial reporting purposes. - Legitimate interests
In certain cases, we gather and utilize your personal information based on legitimate business interests. In these cases, we used a balancing test to carefully examine how the processing affects your interests, rights, and freedoms. We will only proceed with the processing if we are confident there will be no negative impact on you. We rely on Legitimate Interests for the following activities: - Providing, maintaining, enhancing, and developing products and services;
- providing direct marketing messages about our products and services to customers, which may, for example in the United States, contain information we send on behalf of advertisers;
- sending marketing communications about the products and services of carefully selected companies in a business-to-business context;
- We manage suppression and unsubscribe requests;
- Investigate publically available company contact information;
- Manage certain aspects of our events;
- Analyzing the utilization of our products and services;
We use aggregated, non-personally identifiable statistics data to analyze usage trends and advertising success; - You may also leave comments, provide feedback, or complete surveys;
- Dealing with inquiries and complaints;
- We provide product recall notifications, personalize your purchasing experience, and improve merchandise selections;
- Personalizing your experience on our sites;
- Improving merchandise selections and overall shopping experience;
- Using hashed, non-identifiable data to find you or similar audiences through Facebook’s audience function and Google customer match;
- Detecting fraudulent behavior and ensuring that our websites and systems are secure;
- Creating and enriching user profiles based on product choices and online behavior;
- Sharing your information with our Group companies for this policy. For more information, see How We Work With Group Companies.
4. Who may we share your information with?
- Agents
We employ third parties to carry out certain tasks on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders, sending emails, organizing and managing events, running competitions and promotions, conducting surveys or polls, removing repetitive information from customer lists, comment hosting, website analysis, data analysis, and credit card processing. They will have access to your personal information if necessary to execute their duties, but they will not be able to use or disclose it for any other reason unless you have explicitly granted them permission to do so.
- Auditing firms and other professional advisors/companies
We may disclose your personal information with any third party in order to fulfill our legal and regulatory duties, such as statutory or regulatory reporting or the identification or prevention of illegal activity. We may also share your information with our own professional advisers and auditors in order to get professional advice and services or to fulfill our audit requirements. For example, we may provide your personal information to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, a third-party auditing agency. This allows them to check aggregated information concerning the circulation and use of our products, as well as assess our policies, methods, and procedures for compliance with applicable requirements. You may see their privacy policy at www.abc.org.uk/privacy-policy. - Aggregate Information
We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information, such as demographics and website usage data, with advertisers, sponsors, and other organizations. This may involve, for example, tracking your cookie ID, IP address, and engagement data while you are online for business purposes, which are then combined to build a company profile rather than an individual profile. - Products or services provided in collaboration with third parties
Certain items or services offered via this website may be supplied in collaboration with a third party (“Co-Branded Areas”). That third party may need you to provide personal information in order to get such items or services. If you request a product or service that is supplied in collaboration with a third party, you will be informed of the third party’s name, and your personal information will be sent to them.
Furthermore, if you sign in to a Co-Branded Area using a username and password acquired from the Site, your Personal Information may be revealed to the designated third parties for that Co-Branded Area.
Alternatively, when you register for an event or webinar, we may share information with the event or webinar’s sponsors, as well as other partners and advertisers (collectively, “Sponsors”). This will be in conformity with the privacy legislation in the nation where you live. For further information, please read Webinar and Event Registration.
We are not liable for such third-party data gathering or activities, and you should consult such third-party privacy policies for further information.
- Sweepstakes, contests, and promotions
We may run sweepstakes, competitions, and other promotions (collectively, a “Promotion”) on the Site that involve registration. By participating in a Promotion, you agree to the official rules that govern that Promotion, which may include specific obligations of you, such as authorizing the Promotion’s sponsor to use your name, voice, and/or likeness in Promotion-related advertising or marketing. If you choose to enter a Promotion, your personal information may be disclosed to third parties or the general public in connection with its administration, including winner selection and prize fulfillment, as required by law or permitted by the Promotion’s official rules, such as on a winners list. - Changes in ownership
If we sell any aspects of our business, such as a website or a magazine, we may be required to disclose your personal information with the buyer. For example, so that they may continue to provide you with a subscription or other service. The new owners will use your personal information in accordance with their privacy policy.
5. Data Security
We are committed to preserving your personal data and ensuring its security by implementing adequate technical and organisational safeguards against unauthorised or unlawful processing, as well as accidental loss, deletion, or damage.
Where we utilize third-party service providers to store data, we have suitable agreements in place to protect your personal information. In addition, we restrict access to your personal information to employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a business need to know. We also demand that any third parties to whom we may send personal data have suitable security measures in place. They will only process your personal information based on our instructions and are bound by a duty of secrecy.
Our websites may allow you to create an account or provide the option for an account to be created on your behalf. When this happens, you’ll be asked to create a password. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential, and you are liable for any access to or use of your account by someone who obtains your password, whether or not you approved such access or use. You must tell us of any unauthorized use of your password or account. If you feel your account has been compromised, please let us know at inquiry.factic@gmail.com.
6. Links to External Websites
Our website may include connections to other websites. We are not responsible for these sites’ content or privacy policies. We recommend that you examine their privacy policies before sharing any personal information.
