Privacy policy

We may use third party suppliers to provide some of our services to you. In some circumstances, these providers may be based in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) whose laws provide for a different standard of protection for your personal information than that provided under UK law. In such circumstances:

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.

Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.

Where we use providers based in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the ‘Privacy Shield’ which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the U.S. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.

If you would like further information about the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA, please contact the publisher, Kathy Moynihan, at: kathym@kadiumpublishing.com

Your personal data will not be disclosed to state institutions and authorities except if required by law or other regulation. Before we release data on this basis, we will ensure that the information is being provided to a genuine and properly authorised investigation.

We reserve the right to revise or amend this privacy policy at any time to reflect changes to our business or changes in the law. Where these changes are significant, we will endeavour to email all our readers and users to make sure that they are informed of such changes. However, it is your responsibility to check this privacy policy before each use of the website.

Who we are
Kadium Limited publishes a range of business to business print and digital publications that include email newsletters with supporting websites, all of which are governed by this privacy policy. For an up to date list of our publication brands, please visit http://kadiumpublishing.com

What data we collect
When you send us information, talk to us over the phone, submit an online form or visit one of our websites, we may collect both personal and pseudonymous data about you. Personal data means any information that can identify you as an individual, such as your name and postal address. Pseudonymous data doesn’t identify you as a person but it might be used in aggregate, for instance when you participate in a survey or when we analyse audience interaction with our products and services.

Data you provide to us
When you participate in, access, purchase or sign up to any of our services, activities or online content, such as magazine subscriptions, newsletters, competitions or events, we receive personal information about you. This can consist of information such as your name, email address, postal address, landline or mobile number, as well as information collected about your use of our services (such as when you enter our sites and how long you stay on them).

Data about children
If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 13 (“child” or “children”) and have provided us with information belonging to a child, then alongside the child’s data provided we may also process limited personal data about you, so we can record your consent to store, process and use this information about the child to fulfil the service you have purchased or signed up to on their behalf. We may use your contact details to communicate with you about the Child’s use of these products or services.

We will never knowingly send marketing communications to a child under the age of 13. If you believe we have collected personal information about your child without your consent, you may contact the publisher, Kathy Moynihan at kathym@kadiumpublishing.com and request that we remove information about your child.

Data we buy from a third party
We occasionally purchase data from third party suppliers which is primarily business data. This data may include, but not be limited to, a business email address, business job title and business postal address.

Such a purchase may result in you receiving communications from Kadium Limited regarding your business sector or business interests without you having directly supplied your information to us. We keep clear records of the data suppliers and provide an option to ‘unsubscribe’ at every contact.

If you have any queries concerning the use of business data we hold about you please contact the publisher, Kathy Moynihan, at: kathym@kadiumpublishing.com

Data we collect through your use of our websites
We may collect information about how you use our websites or other content online, and the device(s) you use to access the services. This includes collecting unique online identifiers such as IP addresses, which are numbers that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the internet. Anonymous data will be recorded for the purpose of reporting web traffic statistics, advertisement ‘click-throughs’, and/or other activities on our sites.

We may receive information about you from any third parties we may partner with through the use of cookie technologies to personalise advertisements for goods and services (please see ‘Online advertising’ below for further information).
