Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

These cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of our website, which helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

On-Site Advertising

From time to time, we may place on-site advertising using information you make available to us when you interact with our sites, content, or services. On-site ads, also sometimes referred to as personalised or targeted ads, are displayed to you based on information collected through cookies.

You can choose not to receive on-site ads from us. You will still see ads but they will not be personalised. Please visit your Account page to modify the advertising settings.

Further, as described in the Cookie Policy above, you may modify the settings in most browsers to notify you when you receive a new cookie and disable cookies altogether.

Advertising on Third Party Sites

We use third parties who collect data about their apps’ and sites’ visitors through their own cookies, web beacons, and other technologies regarding your online activities, in an effort to understand your interests and deliver you advertisements that are tailored to your interests. We purchase ad space on third party sites and our ads may appear when the third party determines that our ad is relevant to your interest according to the information they have collected.

We do not provide any personal information to advertisers or to third party sites that display our interest-based ads, however they may have collected certain personal information from you through the use of their site (such as articles read, types of ads clicked etc.), or through data analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics – see Cookie Policy for more information) and they may therefore customise advertising material published on their site according to your interests.

Third party advertisers or advertising companies working on their behalf sometimes use technology to serve our advertisements. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalise advertising content.

We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that advertisers and third party sites may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third party websites are not covered by our Privacy Policy. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.
