PRIVACY POLICY

This policy applies to the processing of personal data, whose registered address is at Jamshedpur, Adityapur, 7LF-18/29, LIG Flat and its related group companies. Future is devoted to respecting the privacy of your personal information while providing the greatest user experience possible. We want everyone to be able to use and enjoy our websites. If you order a product or service from us, you must give some personal information, including payment information, in order for the order to be fulfilled.

We have a legal obligation to secure the personal information we acquire from you under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and associated regulations. According to GDPR, "personal data" is any information belonging to a live individual who may be identified, directly or indirectly, from that information. This could include your name, email address, postal address, or phone number, as well as information gleaned from the internet and used to identify you.

For the purposes of GDPR, the ‘Data Controller’ for all Future services based in the UK is Future Publishing Limited. For all services based in the United States, the Data Controller is Future US, Inc, and in Australia it is Future Publishing (Overseas) Limited. As Data Controller we are responsible for, and control, the processing of your personal data for the purposes of Future’s services.

It would be very helpful for us if you could include your full name, your postcode, details of the service you are using and/or magazine subscription information when contacting us.

What data do we collect and how do we use it?

Taking service from us: If you order a product or service from us, you must give some personal information, including payment information, in order for the order to be fulfilled. This information may be gathered as part of the registration process or when creating an account, for example. In some situations, we will utilise or refer you to a third party to collect this information and fulfil your request.

Information you provide to us: We receive personal information about you when you participate in, access, purchase, or join up for any of our services, activities, or online content, such as magazine subscriptions, newsletters, surveys, competitions, or events. We use this information to deliver these services. This may include information such as your name, email address, postal address, and phone number. You will be able to choose how we use your information for marketing reasons, and you will be able to change your marketing preferences at any time.

Information collected online: We may collect information about how you use our websites or other content online, and the device you use to access the services.

What lawful bases do we rely on for processing?

In order to process your personal data, we must have a lawful reason for doing so. GDPR sets out six lawful bases under which organisations can collect, use and store personal data. We rely on four of the lawful bases:

1. Compliance with laws We may have to process and share your personal data in order to comply with our legal obligations, or to protect our rights or the rights of others.

2. Necessary for the performance of a contract If you are our customer, for example a subscriber of a magazine or an attendee at one of our events, we will process your personal data on the basis that it is necessary for us to provide our products and services to you.

3. Consent In some instances we rely on your specific consent to process your personal information. This is where you have actively agreed and ‘opted-in’.

4. Legitimate interests In some situations we rely on our legitimate business interests in order to collect and use your personal data. In these situations, we have conducted a balancing test to carefully consider the impact of the processing on your interests, rights and freedoms. We will only undertake the processing if we are satisfied there is no negative impact on you. We rely on Legitimate Interests for the following activities:

• providing, maintaining, improving and developing our products and services;

• sending direct marketing communications about our products and services to customers;

• sending marketing communications related to the products and services of carefully selected companies in a business-to-business context;

• managing suppression and unsubscribe requests;

• researching publicly available business contact details;

• managing certain aspects of our events;

• managing certain aspects of our events;

• using analytics to identify usage trends and determining the effectiveness of campaigns;

• allowing you to comment on on our sites;

• allowing you to comment on on our sites;

• personalising your experience on our sites;

• identifying fraudulent behaviour and ensuring our websites and systems are secure.

Security

We are committed to safeguarding the personal information we collect. In line with GDPR, we implement suitable technical and organisational safeguards to help prevent unauthorised access to your information and protect data security. We also require that any third parties to whom we may transfer personal data implement adequate security measures. We request that third parties complete Data Security Questionnaires so that we can ensure they are a secure location for your data.

Your rights

You have the right to request:

• Access to the personal data we hold about you.

• The correction of your personal data when incorrect, out of date or incomplete.

• The erasure of your personal data.

• That we stop using your personal data for direct marketing if you object to it.

• That we stop any consent-based processing of your personal data after you withdraw that consent.

• The right to request a transfer of your data to another service provider.

Policy changes

We review our Privacy Policy on an annual basis and may update it from time to time, so we encourage you to review it on a regular basis. If we make major changes, we will try to give you adequate notice before the changes take effect.
