THE CHANNEL COMPANY PRIVACY POLICY

(Revised December 2020)

For purposes of this Privacy Policy (the "Policy"), "The Channel Company" shall
refer to both The Channel Company LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability
company, and its subsidiary Partner Demand LLC, also a Massachusetts limited
liability company.  The Policy covers personal information which you share with
The Channel Company as you register for or attend our face-to-face events around
the world, visit or participate in any of our websites or online venues which
are hosted on servers located in the United States
(notably www.crn.com;  wotc.crn.com; www.thechannelco.com; www.partnerdemand.com; www.ipedchannelytics.com; www.thechannelcocommunites.com and www.iotconnex.com),
subscribe to any of our print publications, and volunteer or post information,
whether through social media or otherwise. We will attempt to post or display a
link to this Policy on all forms and online pages to which it applies.

BY USING THE SITE OR SUBMITTING PERSONAL DATA TO US, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO THE
COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE, RETENTION, AND DESTRUCTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
SUBMITTED TO US IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

Many of our websites allow you to publish or share content, including personal
information which identifies you and/or your company. This Policy will govern
how The Channel Company uses the information you provide and what choices you
have about its publication.

Each of The Channel Company's lines of business aims to be at the heart of the
commercial or professional communities it serves. Our business includes creating
opportunities for you to access other companies' information and resources. When
we work with other companies to build co-branded web sites, virtual events,
sponsored webinars, or in any way that allows you to connect directly with that
other company, we will include a link to this Policy and, to the extent it is
readily available, to the other company's Privacy Policy as well. Our Policy
will govern our collection and use of information about you. We recommend that
you read the partner's Policy as well, if applicable, to learn how that company
will treat the information you provide.

This privacy policy describes the information we collect from you and how it may
be stored and processed in the United States of America.  Our websites,
associated events and publications provide products, content and services for a
professional audience and is not intended for individuals under the age of 13
years old. We do not knowingly collect or store personal data provided by anyone
under 13 years of age.

Information That Identifies You

We rely on the information you provide to us – as you register, contact us,
participate in surveys, post comments to public areas of and interact with our
web sites, respond to our email campaigns, complete applications for award and
recognition lists, and participate in webinars or online events. This ordinarily
consists of basic contact information – name, company, title, address, telephone
number, and email address – but may include other information such as business
preferences and affiliations.  We will add information about how you interact
with our offerings – your subscriptions, the events you attend, and the like. 
We may also supplement with additional data from external sources.

The amount and type of information that we collect depends on the nature of our
interaction with you.  In each case, The Channel Company collects information
only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of your
interaction with us. 

When you provide it to us, we collect the following information that identifies
you (“Personal Data”):

 * Name
 * Email address
 * Address
 * Telephone number

 * Information about your business
 * Content of your email or other messages to us

When you visit our website, we collect the following data from the device or
browser through which you access the site (“Log Data”):

 * Your internet protocol (“IP”) address
 * Browser type
 * Browser version
 * Statistics on your activities on the Site (such as the date and time of
   visits, the pages viewed, time spent at the Site)
 * Information about how you came to the Site
 * Data collected through Cookies or other similar technologies discussed in
   more detail below.

Much of this Log Data does not identify you personally. However, we may
associate this Log Data with your Personal Data. When we do, we will treat any
such combined data as Personal Data until such time as it can no longer be
associated with you or used to identify you. 

Automatic Data Collection Technologies

We may also use cookies and common data collection technologies, including web
beacons and clear GIFs associated with cookies, on our web pages, in
newsletters, and in our email campaigns to collect information both on an
aggregate and individual basis.

Some of our web sites use Adobe Flash to provide video content, and the Adobe
Flash Player has the ability to separately store information about that
particular Flash application. We do not associate this Adobe Flash stored
information with you as an individual. Please see the Adobe Flash Player Help
page for additional information about controlling the settings of the Adobe
Flash Player on your computer.

We gather date, time, certain information about a user's browser and system or
device configuration and capabilities, navigation history and IP address for all
visitors to our web sites. We use this information for our internal security
audit log, for trend analysis and system administration and to gather broad
information about our audiences and their geographic locations.

Please see More Information About Cookies (below) for additional details about
how we use cookies that identify you, which third party advertisers and
advertising networks we allow to serve third party advertising displayed on our
sites or to display our ads to you once you have left our web pages, and how to
control cookies or their use for serving targeted advertising.

How We Use Information That Identifies You

We may use information about you: 

 * to provide the services, publications, and information you request -- and to
   manage your account with us.
 * to deliver or display content that matches your professional interests and
   responsibilities.
 * to contact you with information about and invitations for products and
   services – ours and other companies' – directed to your professional
   interests and responsibilities.
 * to offer you opportunities to connect directly with your peers and with
   sellers of technology that may be of interest to you.

We do not “sell” your personal information as defined under current domestic and
international regulations to any Business Partners. 

There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may disclose, transfer, or
share your Personal Data with certain third parties to perform services on
behalf of The Channel Company.  By using the Site or submitting your Personal
Data to us, you expressly consent to our sharing your Personal Data, as set
forth below.

Sharing Personal Data With Affiliates, Successors, and Agents

For purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy, we may share your Personal
Data with:

   dissolve, or similarly change our ownership or corporate structure;
 * other companies we engage to perform business-related functions, such as:
   * digital marketing agencies;
   * database service providers;
   * backup and disaster recovery service providers;
   * email service providers; and
   * payment processors. 

 

We only share your Personal Data with companies that have agreed to maintain and
use it securely and only in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in our good
faith belief that such action is necessary to:

 * comply with a legal obligation;
 * protect or defend our rights, interests, or property, or that of third
   parties;

 * act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Site users or
   the public; or
 * protect against legal liability.

Data Privacy Notice

Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other

keeping personal data up to date; by storing and destroying it securely; by not
collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data
from loss, misuse, unauthorized access and disclosure and by ensuring that
appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.

 * To inform you of news, events, activities and services provided by The
   Channel Company.
 *

California Consumer Protection Act to any Business Partners.

6. How long do 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.

Unless subject to an exemption under certain privacy laws such as GDPR or CCPA,
you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

 * The right to request a copy of your personal data which The Channel Company
   holds about you;
 * The right to request that The Channel Company correct any personal data if it
   is found to be inaccurate or out of date; 
 * The right to request your personal data is deleted where it is no longer
   necessary for The Channel Company to retain such data;

 * The right to request information about the personal data we have disclosed
   for business purposes and / or provided (as such term is defined under the
   CCPA) to a business partner within the last 12 months.

   data and where possible, to transmit that data directly to another data

   of your personal data, to request a restriction is placed on further
   processing;

What Are My Rights About The Processing Of My Personal Data?

You always have a choice regarding the tools that you use and the information
that you provide so that we can provide products and services that are of real
value. 

You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your Personal Data at any
time.  To opt out of receiving emails, direct mail, catalogues, or other
communications, please call us at (508) 416-1175 or email us at
privacyrequests@thechannelcompany.com with the phrase “Privacy Opt-out” in the
subject line and specify what you would like us to do (for example, change your
mailing preferences).  To stop email communications from us, you can also follow
the unsubscribe instructions set forth at the bottom of our promotional e-mail
messages.  You may also access and correct some of your Personal Data by logging
into your online account, if you have one. 

If you choose to limit our use of your Personal Data, you may not have access to
certain functionality of the Site.  If you change your privacy preferences in
the future, that will not limit the lawfulness of any processing performed based
on your prior consent.  We do not sell your Personal Data, but you have the
right to opt out of the sale of your Personal Data at any time.

Additional Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California or certain other states that have passed
data privacy laws, you may have the right to request information from us

   name, examples of the products or services they marketed.

identity. This is a security measure to ensure we do not disclose personal
information to any person who is not entitled to receive it. We may also contact
you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up
our response.  We may provide this information in a standardized format that is
not entirely specific to you.

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Compliance

The Channel Company complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (the
"Privacy Shield") as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the
collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union
member countries.  The Channel Company adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles
of Notice; Choice; Accountability for Onward Transfer; Security; Data Integrity
and Purpose Limitation; Access; and Recourse, Enforcement and Liability.  The
Channel Company is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the
U.S. Federal Trade Commission.  If there is any conflict between the policies in
this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield
Principles shall govern.  To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to
view our certification page, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/. 

To the extent that your data is transferred The Channel Company remains
potentially liable for subsequent violations of the Privacy Shield.  We shall
not be responsible, however, for the compliance of our customers or licensees
with Privacy Shield, or their compliance with data privacy laws and regulations
of the European Union or any other country.

Your Choices

In keeping with one of the Privacy Shield's core principles, Choice, you always
have a choice about whether to opt in or opt out, and you maintain control over
your data in the following ways:

Deletion of your data, or corrections.

Please help us keep your account information up to date. You may update most
online registrations by consulting the particular web site itself or visiting a
preference page after you have logged on to the site.  Upon request you are
entitled to access a copy of your personal data to correct it, or you may
instruct us to delete it from our systems.

Connecting directly with other companies for marketing purposes.

In addition to providing you with our own editorial content, we offer you the
opportunity to access others' branded content and expertise. When you choose to
take advantage of that content or expertise, you choose to have your name and
contact details transferred directly to that other company. We may put you in
direct contact with another company or companies when you choose to:

 * Register for certain registration-only, or "gated" communities. Access to
   technical resources provided or sponsored by another company is contingent on
   your agreement that your contact details may be shared with the other
   company. We may track your interest in that company's content or our own
   content over time and disclose your interest to that company.
 * Register for a specific webcast, online event, web site, newsletter, or other
   offering which is sponsored or co-sponsored by another company.
 * Register to attend one of our virtual events. We may give your name and
   contact details to all exhibitors and give the exhibitor whose booths and
   resources you access a record of your visits and interaction with content
   from that exhibitor.
 * Attend one of our face-to-face events. Exhibitors may receive an attendance
   list for the event. It is up to you, however, to decide whether to leave your
   business card or allow your RFID-enabled badge to be read by a particular
   exhibitor – the badges cannot be read remotely. A sponsor of a special,
   sponsored conference session will also be given information about you if you
   choose to attend that company's session. Your future interaction with online
   content from an exhibitor or sponsor to whom you provided your contact data
   may also be tracked and disclosed to that exhibitor or sponsor.
 * Submit an application for a published CRN award or recognition list.  To
   remain eligible for certain awards or lists, you may be required to disclose
   certain personal data and/or company information. By submitting information
   requested in an application, you give your permission for this information to
   be published by The Channel Company on CRN-related media properties and
   otherwise shared with relevant companies in the IT industry, unless otherwise
   specified in the award/list application. 

Making information you provide public

We offer websites that allow you to publish content. Many of these blog sites
require that you register if you wish to comment. We will publish the user name
you provide at registration when you comment. Some sites allow you to create a
public profile as well.

Our online event venues also require that you register and allow you to have
both public and closed communications with exhibitors and other participants.
Information that identifies you will be published or shared according to your
choices.

In addition, we may create online membership communities that allow you to
create and publish your profile and other information. These communities may
provide privacy controls which allow you to choose how much of your profile and
other information to make public or to share with others within the community.
As a professional, you remain responsible for locating the privacy controls
(usually available on the page from which you can edit your profile),
understanding how those controls, including default settings, work and protect
the information you provide.

Receiving email marketing messages from us

You may opt out of our email marketing lists by following the instructions near
the footer of our promotional emails. Please note that we have a number of
brands and products, and therefore often allow you to opt out selectively. To
remove a specific email address from all email marketing from The Channel
Company, you may send a request to privacyrequests@thechannelcompany.com or
visit our email preference center .

More Information about Cookies

The Channel Company uses cookies on each if its websites (collectively, the
"Website"). By using the Website or any portion thereof (for residents of the
European Union, by consenting to this policy), you consent to the use of
cookies.

Our Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how
third-parties we may partner with may use cookies on the Website, your choices
regarding cookies and further information about cookies.

What are cookies

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your web browser by a website you
visit. A cookie file is stored in the user’s computer and enables the Website or
a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the Website
more useful to you.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies act as
described above, while session cookies may be stored in memory and deleted based
upon browser settings.

How we use cookies

When you use and access the Website, we may place a number of cookies files in
your web browser.

We use cookies for the following purposes: to enable certain functions of the
Website such as personalization, to provide analytics, to store your
preferences, to enable advertisements delivery, including behavioral
advertising.

Essential uses

We use these technologies in a way that is essential for the operation of the
Website or parts of it. For example, we may use cookies to effectively
personalize your experience or for web analytics data collection. 

Performance/Analytics

We use these technologies to monitor the Website and to analyze how you use the
Website.  We may place cookies that allow us to measure the time of your
requests to our servers and our responses, to test new features, to record
statistics about usage, to track your activities on the Website, and to track
the places from which you come to the Website or Database. We may also use
third-party cookies to collect information about behavior on the Website for
these Performance/Analytics purposes.

Functionality

We use these technologies to allow us to provide certain functionality on the
Website and to remember your preferences. For instance, cookies allow us to
auto-populate certain information.  If you disable or delete cookies, you may
not be able to use some functions of the Website.

Advertising (including behavioral/interest-based advertising)

We may use these technologies to deliver focused online banner advertisements to
you both on and off the Website. By using these technologies, we hope to better
tailor these advertisements to your interests. Sometimes this is called online
behavioral, interest-based, or retargeted advertising. Many of the third party
technologies that enable this advertising participate in voluntary frameworks
that allow you to opt out of it.

Such third party service providers include Adroll, Rubicon, Google, Media Math,
Perfect Audience, Quantcast, Retargeter, and Yahoo!, among others.  You can
control your preferences directly with each such third-party service provider.

Most of the cookies and other technologies described above on the Website are
set by us (“first-party cookies”). Other cookies are used in connection with the
Website and are set by third-party service providers at our direction
("third-party cookies"). We may use third-party cookies with respect to each of
the uses set forth above.

What are your choices regarding cookies

If you'd like to delete cookies or instruct your web browser to delete or refuse
cookies, please visit the help pages of your web browser.

Please note, however, that if you delete cookies or refuse to accept them, you
might not be able to use all of the features we offer, you may not be able to
store your preferences, and some of our pages might not display properly.

Where can you find more information about cookies

You can learn more about cookies and the following third-party websites:

 * All About Cookies: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/
 * Network Advertising Initiative: http://www.networkadvertising.org/

The Channel Company currently allows the following third-party ad servers to
serve ads on our web pages: TRUSTe and Google AdSense. Some companies offer
additional choices about your preferences. Please visit each of their web sites
for more information about the technologies they use and their privacy
practices.

Many of the third-party ad serving companies that serve ads to our web sites are
members of the Network Advertising Initiative and/or the Digital Advertising
Alliance. The NAI offers useful information about ad networks and a single place
to turn off targeted ad serving from any of its member
companies: https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.

The Channel Company further adheres to the data privacy principles set forth in
the Interactive Advertising Bureau/American Association of Advertising Agencies'
Standard Terms and Conditions version 3.0.

We may amend or modify the list of Third Party Advertisers from time to time
without changing the effective date of the Policy itself. We urge you to check
this section regularly for any modifications.

Disclosure of Information about You

We reserve the right to disclose information about you to third parties in
certain circumstances: to vendors that work on our behalf, to entities that
present valid legal process, to protect human safety or our networks or
property, or as part of a corporate merger or sale of our business assets.

Please note that we may be required to disclose an individual's personal
information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to
meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Data Security

We collect and process information on servers hosted in the U.S. We use
reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect
personal information against theft, loss, or misuse. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet or storage can be guaranteed to be 100 percent
secure. We strive to protect information about you and your professional
interests and follow reasonable security and practices. You remain responsible
for protecting your user name and passwords and for the security of information
in transit to us over the Internet.

This Privacy Policy covers how we use information you provide. We cannot control
how others may use information you may make public on our sites, for example, on
professional networking sites or sites inviting user-generated content, in
forums, at virtual events, or user-generated blogs.

Please note that virtual events may automatically display certain information
about you to other participants in the event. We cannot control how other
participants use that displayed information, so please take a moment to make
sure you understand how a particular virtual event works and what information
you are choosing to share within that particular environment.

What Data Is Not Covered By The Privacy Policy?

The limitations in and requirements of this Privacy Policy do not apply to:

 * Third Party Sites:  The Site may contain links to other websites not operated
   or controlled by us (“Third Party Sites”).  THE CHANNEL COMPANY IS NOT
   RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POLICIES AND PRACTICES EMPLOYED BY, OR THE CONTENT OF,
   THIRD PARTY SITES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW. We provide such
   links only as a convenience and the inclusion of a link on the Site does not
   imply endorsement of the linked site by The Channel Company. If you provide
   Personal Data through any such Third Party Site, your Personal Data may be
   collected by the third party and controlled by the privacy policy of that
   third party.  We suggest contacting those sites directly for information
   about their privacy policies and practices. 
 * Deidentified Data: Any non-personally identifiable data we collect,
   including, without limitation, Log Data, domain names of your Internet
   Service Provider, your approximate geographic location, a record of your
   usage of the Site, the time of your usage, and aggregated personally
   identifiable information, but only to the extent the foregoing cannot be used
   to specifically identify you.
 * Aggregated Personal Data: Any aggregated Personal Data that can no longer be
   used to identify you will be treated as non-personally identifiable data

We do not intentionally or knowingly collect any Personal Data from children
under the age of thirteen (13), nor do we target our emails to them.  Children

of the Internet and instruct them to never provide Personal Data through the
Site.  If you believe a child under the age of thirteen (13) may have provided
Personal Data to us through the Site, please contact us at
privacyrequests@thechannelcompany.com, and we will use reasonable efforts to
delete it from the Site and our files.
