How we use the information you provide through this Website

We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how our Website is used and, where you have agreed, to measure how our advertising performs and to show you relevant adverts on social media. Some of these technologies use online identifiers that can single out your device. More information on cookies can be found in our Cookie Policy.

We may use processors to help operate this Website. Where this is done, any data processed will be in compliance with Data Protection Law.

We rely on the following lawful bases.

Legitimate interests. We use your personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate interests, and those interests are not overridden by your rights, to:

1. Operate this Website and associated web applications as part of managing and conducting our business;
2. Respond to your enquiries;
3. Add the business contact details you give us to our marketing database, so that we can send you information, insights and events relevant to your sector;
4. Use the business contact details in our marketing database to show you relevant adverts on social media platforms, or to exclude you from adverts that are not relevant to you (see “Social media advertising” below).

You can object to this processing at any time (see “Your right to object” above).

Consent. We only place non-essential cookies and similar technologies, including social media advertising pixels, if you agree to them through our cookie banner. We use them to obtain information about your use of the Website so we can improve it, to recognise visitors who arrive from our social media, and to measure and evaluate the performance of our advertising and marketing. You can withdraw consent at any time through the cookie setting link at the bottom right of your screen on any webpage.

You can read more about this in our ‘Cookie Policy’ which is on our Website and available also here.

Social media advertising

We advertise on social media platforms. We use personal data for this in the following ways.

Matched audiences. We may upload business contact details from our marketing database (such as name, business email address, job title and organisation) to a platform so that it can show our adverts to people it matches with our list, or exclude them. We do not upload the details of anyone who has objected to marketing.

Retargeting and measurement. If you agree to advertising cookies, we use advertising tags and pixels provided by social media platforms to recognise that you have visited our Website after seeing or clicking on one of our adverts. This lets us show you relevant adverts again and understand which campaigns are working. We do not use these tools without your consent.

Lead generation forms. If you complete one of our lead generation forms on a social media platform, the platform passes the information you submit to us. We add it to our marketing database and use it as described in this policy. The platform’s own privacy policy also applies to the information it collects.
For some of these activities we and the platform act as joint controllers. 
How to opt out. You can ask us to stop using your details for social media advertising at any time by emailing [email protected]. You can withdraw consent to advertising cookies through the cookie settings link at the bottom right of any webpage, and you can manage the adverts shown to you in your settings on each platform.

How we will use other information you may provide to us once we have responded to your initial request

Once we enter into a dialogue with you about your enquiry we may request that you provide us with further personal data.

How we store this information

The information that we collect from you we may store, process and transmit in Europe, the United States and locations around the world, including outside your country.
