We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. In general we employ the following data control mechanisms when we use your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing:
Consent
When you register for an account on the Magnet (Magnet FZE LLC), you are invited to consent to receiving marketing and other promotional information from us. You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us. Withdrawing consent will not prevent us from sending service messaging about the Magnet (Magnet FZE LLC) (such as purchase confirmations, planned downtime, upgrades, patches, or changes to our terms and policies).
Promotional offers from us
We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical and Usage Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
Third-party marketing
We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.
Opting out
You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time. You can withdraw your consent, or opt-out from our mailing list by unsubscribing.
Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.
Cookies come in a variety of forms but are essentially small data files used to collect and store information about you. We use them on our website for a variety of different functions:
The majority of these cookies are linked to your browser session (session cookies) and disappear once you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a longer period (persistent cookies).
For further information about the cookies we use, please see our Cookie Policy.
We share the information we collect or that is provided to us as follows:
Sharing with our Partners
We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes we have identified above.
Currently, we use the following trusted Partners:
Website Hosting - AWS
Website Analytics, AdSense - Google
International Transfers
When we share your personal data within the some of the above External Third Parties, this will involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where we share your personal data with those parties, we ensure there are mechanisms in place to ensure your personal data is protected as if it were in the EEA, such as by ensuring those providers utilise binding corporate rules, using the European Commission’s Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries, or ensuring transfers only take place to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
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.
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.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data by contact us (see the below section 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.
The title of this section says it all and as a citizen of an EU country you have a wide range of rights with regards to your data, which have, as of the 25 May 2018, been enhanced by the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
You can enforce your rights by contacting us, or in most cases, by unsubscribing and/or by ending your use of your website.
1 . Right to Correction: if you believe any of the information on your profile to be inaccurate you have a right to request that we correct this. This right also extends to various other information we collect about you which you can request a copy of (see Right to Copies below).
2 . Right to Copies of your data: you have a right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you along with an explanation from us as to why we process that information. We will provide this information to you free of charge for a first request, but will charge for reasonable administrative costs for further requests.
3 . Right to erasure: you have a right to request the deletion of your data at any time. If you submit such a request to us we will consider carefully and reply with an explanation as to why we are required to retain certain information either by law or for our own legitimate reasons. Where, after review, we identify any data we do not need to retain for these purposes, we will delete that data as per your request.
Should you have any concerns about how we are processing your data, we invite that you submit those questions to studio@growwithmag.net.
