2. Applicability

We may ask for and collect certain information (specified in Clause 3 below) from you when you use the Site. This information is necessary for the adequate performance of our obligations towards you and to allow us to comply with our legal obligations. Without this information, we may not be able to provide you access to and allow the use of the Site.

3. Information we collect

There are three categories of information we collect:

• Personally Identifiable Information

This is the information that tells us who you are and lets us identify, contact or locate you (“Personally Identifiable Information”). We will ask for your Personally Identifiable Information when you register with us, fill in the form to contact us, book a demo with us, participate in our surveys, correspond with us or otherwise volunteer information. Personally Identifiable Information includes your name, telephone number, email address.

We collect Personally Identifiable Information about you when you fill your contact information for us on the Site or deliver such information to us through any offline means. We also collect other content that you submit through any social media or social networking websites operated by us. For example, you provide content to us when you provide feedback or when you participate in any interactive features, surveys, contests, promotions, sweepstakes, activities or events undertaken by us.

• Non-Personally Identifiable Information

This is the information that does not identify you as a specific individual on its own or in combination with other information (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”). We may gather certain demographic information about you such as age, date of birth, gender, as well as consumer preference information based upon how you navigate the Site.

This information may be compiled and analysed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information includes a website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from; landing pages and referring pages and URLs; which URL you next go to; what browser you are using; date and time of your usage of the Site; search terms; domain names; device information such as hardware configuration and operating system; number of clicks; time you spend viewing each page of the Site; name of and information about any advertisement or other third party website that brought you to us; and your anonymised Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, which in turn would enable us to infer your city, region/state, country, continent, longitude/latitude co-ordinates of location and internet service provider.

If you email us, we may store copies of such email or similar communications between you and us. This can result in the collection of your email address or other personally identifiable information you may have in your email text, addresses, or other fields, as well as the collection of your IP address, or other routing of your communication, and the date and time of your communication. All transmissions between you and us, including emails, URLs, cookie identification numbers, usage paths, and any personally identifiable information they might contain, pass through many third party machines, operating systems, programs, browsers, web servers, networks, routers, ethernet switches, internet service providers, proxy servers, intranets, the public telephone systems, or other devices, any of which may create activity logs containing such transmissions, and many of which we cannot control. When you send an email, feedback, comments or other communication to us, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests, improve our services, and may post or use such communications without any obligation to you. 

• Third-Party Information

On a need-to-know basis, we may, from time to time, collect such relevant information about you as may be necessary from third parties, subject to the privacy and confidentiality terms of such third party. The Site includes links to other third-party websites whose privacy practices may differ from those of Women’s Tabloid. Women’s Tabloid has no control over the policies, actions or omissions of third-party websites and is not responsible or liable for any such policies, acts or omissions.  If you submit personal information to any of those websites, your information is governed by the applicable third-party privacy policies and not by this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, nor do we take any responsibility for any information that is collected by any third party through any third-party links made available to you during your use of the Site or through any of the advertisements or through BOTS. We urge you to carefully review the privacy policy of any website you link to, visit or share information with prior to doing so. Further, we cannot control the use of cookies (or the resulting information) by third parties and use of third-party cookies is not covered by our Privacy Policy.

• Cookies

We collect information from you by way of cookies. If you do not want information to be collected through the use of cookies, your browser allows you to deny or accept the use of cookies. However, you may then not be able to take advantage of some of the features on the Site.

We share information about you for the operating and maintaining of our business and for providing our services to you, in the following manner:

• Conduct analytics

We are always looking for ways to make the Site and services smarter, faster, secure, integrated, and useful to you. We use collective learnings about how people use the Site and feedback provided directly to us to troubleshoot and to identify trends, usage, activity patterns and areas for integration and improvement of the Site. We may evaluate and analyse certain new features with some users before rolling the feature out to all users.  We may also share aggregated information (information about our users that we combine together so that it no longer identifies or references an individual user) and other pseudonymized information for compliance, industry and market analysis, demographic profiling, marketing, advertising, and other business purposes.

6. How we store and protect your information

• The data that we collect from you and process as a result of your use of the Site and of our services may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the United Kingdom and the EEA who work for us or for one of our affiliates or suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this third-party transfer, storing or processing of personal data. In particular, your data may be stored by Women’s Tabloid’s hosting service provider on servers in the Republic of India as well as in the United Kingdom. The Republic of India does not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom and EEA. An agreement has been signed between Women’s Tabloid and each of its data processors. These agreements are designed to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a misuse of your personal data. We will not otherwise transfer your personal data outside of the United Kingdom or the EEA or to any organisation (or subordinate bodies) governed by public international law or which is set up under any agreement between two or more countries. If you would like further information in this regard, please do contact us in accordance with the contact details provided at Clause 10 below.

• The security and confidentiality of your data is extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access and improper use. From time to time, we review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods. Please be aware though that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect and impenetrable, and no data transmissions over the web can be guaranteed 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. If you send us an email, you should know that email is not necessarily secured against interception. Therefore, if your communication will include sensitive information like your bank account, charge card, or social security number, and you prefer not to transmit it electronically, please contact us by postal mail or telephone rather than email.

• If we collect information from your computer, we encrypt it while it is being transferred to us. Once the information reaches our secure servers, as part of our security program, we employ standard procedures and safeguards, such as maintaining firewalls and having an intrusion detection system, to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the information we maintain.

• When we work with third parties, we require that they maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of the information and commit that the information is not used for any prohibited purpose.

• We use industry standard physical, technical, and administrative security measures; and commercially reasonable computer security safeguards in order to safeguard all personal information, confidential and secure. Additionally, we protect our databases and servers against risks of loss, unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, modification, or inadvertent or improper disclosure of data, which includes by internally reviewing our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.

• Given the nature of internet transactions, Women’s Tabloid does not take any responsibility for the transmission of information including user information shared by you. Any transmission of user information on the internet is done at your risk and Women’s Tabloid shall not be responsible for the circumvention of the privacy settings or security measures either by you or any third party.

• Please do not include or provide any personal information unless specifically requested as part of the registration or other applicable processes. If any information you have provided or uploaded violates the terms of this Privacy Policy, Women’s Tabloid may be required to delete such information upon informing you of the same and revoke your access if required without incurring any liability to you.

7. Retention of Personal Data

• We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

• To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

• By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including contact details, identity, financial and transaction data) for Six (6) years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

• In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data. See Clause 9 for further information.

• In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

• If any personal data is only useful for a short period (e.g., for a specific activity, promotion, or marketing campaign), we will not retain it for longer than the period for which it is used by us. If you have opted out of receiving marketing communications from us, we will need to retain certain personal data on a suppression list indefinitely so that we know not to send you further marketing communications in the future. However, we will not use this personal data to send you further marketing unless you subsequently opt back in to receive such marketing.

• Should you apply to work for us, we will retain data from your application for a limited period for record keeping and legal purposes. We may (subject to laws in your jurisdiction) also retain your data in order to contact you if a role arises for which we think you would be suitable. Further information about this will be provided during the application process and we will ask for consent where necessary according to local law.

• The above examples may vary in some cases due to local laws, liability periods and mandatory retention requirements. For example, if certain information needs to be retained for longer according to local laws, regulations or because different legal limitation periods apply, then we will keep the personal data for these longer periods.

8. Children’s Personal Data

Women’s Tabloid does not knowingly collect any personal data from children under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not submit any personal data through our Site or services. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s internet usage and to help enforce this Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide personal data through our services or Site without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 18 has provided personal data to us, please contact us using the details in Clause 10 and we will endeavour to delete that information and terminate the child’s account from our databases.

9. Your Legal Rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

• Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

• Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see Clause 7.4 below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

• Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

• If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.

• Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.

• Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

• You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

• Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

10. Identity Theft

There may be instances when you receive a seemingly legitimate looking e-mail asking for your personal information such as your website login password and id or your credit card details. Please note that Women’s Tabloid will never ask for such information from you through email. Such activities carried on by unauthorized individuals are illegal and termed phishing or identity theft. In case of any suspicion of such activity, we advise you to not respond to such mail and to take such action as you see fit.

11. Grievances and Complaints

We have appointed a data protection officer (“DPO”) who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy policy. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights under Clause 9 above, please contact the DPO using the details set out below.

Contact details

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.

12. Changes to the Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is under regular review. This version was last updated on 17 November 2023. Historic versions can be obtained by contacting the DPO. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Privacy Policy shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the United Kingdom. If you use the Site outside the United Kingdom, you are responsible for complying with the legislation wherever you are located. The courts of United Kingdom shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any matters arising out or in relation to these Terms. It is clarified that to the extent this Privacy Policy conflicts with any applicable provisions of law, such provisions of law shall supersede the Privacy Policy.
