WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

IDGC collects data about you that is limited to the kind of information that can
be found on a typical business card: first name, last name, job title,
employer/company name, work address, work email, and work phone number. In some
cases, we may ask you to provide additional professional information such as the
size of the company you work for, and industry type.

To enhance and/or update the information that you have provided to us, we may
combine it with professional information or personal data that we collect from
third party sources. The personal data that we refer to in this document is the
personal and professional information you provide, as well as information that
we obtain from third party sources, both of which we typically combine as one
user record.

This site also collects and stores certain information automatically using
cookies and similar technologies, including IP addresses, the region or general
location of a computer or device accessing the internet, browser type, operating
system, page view history, and other usage information. See our Cookie Policy
for further details.

However, to the extent that any cookie can uniquely identify a computer, mobile
device, or tablet (“Device”), or the person using that Device, and you are a EU
resident, under the GDPR, this is personal data.  Therefore, this privacy policy
shall apply to such personal data collected by IDGC.

We may use third party advertising companies to collect data and/or serve ads
when you visit our website or application. These companies may use information
about your visits to this and other websites or applications in order to provide
advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Please keep in mind
that your browser settings may not permit you to control the technologies
utilized by these third party companies. If you would like more information
about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information
used by these companies, visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.”


HOW WE COLLECT IT

We may collect your personal data when you register to receive any of the
products, content or services offered by IDGC or its third-party sponsors
(“sponsors”) such as publications, subscriptions, contests, newsletters,
memberships, premium content, webcasts, video, white papers, online seminars,
conferences and events.

What happens if you don’t provide personal data?

In order for us to provide the products, content or services you request, we
need your personal data. Therefore, if you do not provide such personal data, we
cannot deliver the products, content or services

IDG Communications Publishing Network

This website is one of many that IDGC and its group of undertakings operates,
all of which we collectively refer to as the IDGC Publishing Network. Where
permitted by law, we may share the personal data we collect about you with
another IDGC Publishing Network company so that we can provide you with
information about products, content and services that might interest you, and
for internal analytical and business development purposes. Please click here for
a list of the online and print publications included in the IDGC Publishing
Network.


HOW DO WE SAFEGUARD YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Security of your personal data

IDGC maintains safeguards which include technical and organizational security
measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized use,
access, inadvertent disclosure, alteration, and destruction, and we require the
third parties we contract with to support IDGC’s business operations to employ
reasonable security measures as well (see “When and how we share your
information with others” below).

We update and test security on an ongoing basis and restrict access to your
personal data to only those who need to know in order to provide IDGC’s
products, content or services to you.

Storage of your personal data

We may store your personal data using IDGC’s own secure on-site servers or other
internally hosted technology.  Your personal data may also be stored by third
parties, via cloud services or other technology, to whom IDGC has contracted
with, to support IDGC’s business operations (see “When and how we share your
information with others” below).

These third parties do not use or have access to your personal data other than
for cloud storage and retrieval, and IDGC requires such parties to employ at
least the same level of security that we use to protect your personal data (see
“Security of your personal data” above).


WHAT WE DO WITH THE PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

We use the personal data that we collect to communicate with you, deliver what
you request, improve our service, and to present other information and offers
that may be of interest.

To communicate with you

We may use your personal data to send you important notices, such as
communications about your registration, transactions, and changes to IDGC’s
terms, conditions, policies, and/or other internal purposes.

To deliver what you request

We may use your personal data to provide the products, content or services you
request. If you enter a sweepstake, contest, or similar IDGC promotion, we may
use your personal data to administer such promotion.

To improve our service

We may use your personal data for auditing, data analysis, and research to
improve IDGC’s products, content and services.

To present offers that may be of interest to you

We may contact you to offer you additional IDGC or third-party products, content
or services that may be of interest to you.


THE LEGAL BASIS WE HAVE FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The GDPR requires data collectors, such as IDGC, to have a legal basis to use
the personal data of EU residents. Therefore, this section shall apply to any
such personal data collected by IDGC.

IDGC uses the personal data that you provide to supply you with high-quality
products, content and services as you request, to send important notices, and
for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to provide
you with the information you need to make the most informed technology
purchasing decisions.

We may also use your personal data to offer you products, content or services
that may be of interest to you, based upon to your interests or the preferences
you shared with us, and may share your personal data with third party sponsors
of content, events, and other services or offers.

The legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent. In certain
circumstances, we may otherwise process your personal data if IDGC has a
legitimate interest in doing so and IDGC is not infringing any of your rights
and freedoms.

When IDGC processes your personal data for IDGC’s legitimate interests, IDGC
will consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data
protection and any other relevant law. Our legitimate business interests do not
override your interests. IDGC will not use your personal data in circumstances
where your rights and freedoms override our legitimate interests, unless we have
your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law.


WHEN AND HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH OTHERS


IDGC may share your personal data to deliver content and services from our
sites, affiliated companies and third parties services that might interest you,
including sponsored content and events, for business operations, and to comply
with valid legal processes.

If you are an EU resident, IDGC will only share your personal data with third
parties outside of the IDGC Publishing Network, with your consent. 

For content and services that may interest you or that you request

As we mention above, your personal data may be shared within the IDGC Publishing
Network to provide you with information about products, content and services
that might interest you and for internal analytical and business development
purposes (see “IDGC Publishing Network” above).  We may also share your personal
data with third parties to deliver third-party sponsored content or other
services that you request (see “third party sponsored content and events”
below).

For business operations

We may also share your personal data with third parties we have contracted with
to support IDGC’s business operations including delivery, fulfilment, payment
processing, email deployment, suppression list management and data processing.

For third party sponsored content and events

IDGC partners with third party sponsors to make available a large library of
content to our users, such as white papers, professional events (live or
online), as well as other services or offers.  In return for access to such
offers, we may ask you to provide us with personal data as part of the
registration.

We may use your personal data to send you the offer you request. In addition,
your personal data may be shared with the sponsor(s) of the offer to communicate
with you regarding the offer, as well as additional products, content or
services that may be of interest to you.  Please note that once your personal
data is shared with the sponsor, the sponsor’s privacy policy, including
information on how to opt-out in the future, will apply to your personal data.

When you use our website, we share information that we collect from you, such as
your email (in hashed form), with our identity partner/service provider. This is
LiveRamp, Inc.

This partner return’s an online identification code that we may store in our
first-party cookie for our use in online, in-app, and cross-channel advertising
and it may be shared with advertising companies to enable interest-based and
targeted advertising.

For visitors from the EU/EEA, UK you will be asked for your consent when you
visit our sites. For Californian visitors you may opt-out by following the “Do
not share my personal data” link in the footer of our sites.

As required by law

Your personal data may be shared when authorized by law or necessary to comply
with a valid legal process.

In the event of new ownership

If part or all the ownership of IDGC or any of its products or services are sold
or transferred, your personal data will be transferred to the new owner.

International Data Transfers

This section shall apply to any personal data collected by IDGC from EU
residents.

If IDGC shares your personal data within the IDG Publishing Network or with any
other third party as described in this privacy policy and your personal data
will be transferred to a State which is not a Member State of either the
European Union or the EEA, or deemed adequate by the European Commission, IDGC
(as a data controller/data exporter) will only conduct such transfer (to a data
processor/data importer) if there are suitable safeguards in place, such as
binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses, approved Codes of
Conduct, or approved certification mechanism.  For more information, please
contact IDGC’s Data Protection Officer (See contact details below).


HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We retain your personal data for the duration of your business relationship with
us, and we hold your information only as long as necessary for each purpose we
use it, unless we have obtained your consent to use for another or similar
purpose.


YOUR RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES

If you inform us that you want your personal data erased (if you are an EU
resident), or that you no longer wish for us to communicate with you for
marketing purposes, or to otherwise restrict IDGC’s processing of your personal
data, we may retain some basic information in order to avoid sending you
unwanted materials in the future, and to keep a record of your request and our
response.
