Privacy Policy

Quartz Business Media Ltd is committed to protecting the privacy of users of this website.

A summary of the measures taken by Quartz Business Media Ltd to protect our users' privacy is as follows:

• We do not provide or sell your details to third parties unless you have specifically requested that we do so, in order that these advertisers and/or third parties can offer you information, goods and services that may be of interest to you.
• We reserve the right to disclose information about member usage and demographics to advertisers, but in anonymous aggregate form only. Quartz Business Media Ltd will not reveal your personal identity in connection with the disclosure of such information.
• You decide whether to post publicly a personal email address when participating in online discussions in one of our ‘chat’ forums. If you would like to opt out of this arrangement at any time please elect to unsubscribe when posting discussions.
• Quartz Business Media Ltd may contact users by email with electronic newsletters, or as part of one of our promotions. The newsletters are sent out to the email address you supplied during the registration process. All our email correspondence includes an unsubscribe option.

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

We collect information on our users through registration. The minimum information we need to register a user is a username and/or an email address, and a password. We may also ask some further, voluntary questions so we can gain a clearer understanding of our users. Your responses help us to provide relevant information on the website and to sell appropriate advertising space. We do no share this “additional” information with third parties unless you have consented to this.

We also collect data listing which of our pages are most frequently visited in order to measure relative consumer interest in the various areas of our site (for product development purposes) and to inform advertisers as to how many consumers have seen or 'clicked' their advertising banners. In performing these statistical analyses, we will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form. Personal information on individual subscribers will not be provided to any third party without your consent.

This information is stored by us and our data processors. We may employ external companies to act on our behalf as data processors for internal business purposes. Data processors will abide by the Privacy Policy detailed here and will not disclose personal details to any other organisations or use data other than for purposes required by us.

We reserve the right to access and disclose individually identifiable information to comply with applicable laws and lawful government requests, to operate our systems properly and to protect both ourselves and our users.

We are not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of websites to which this website may link.
