We may also collect information (including personal, geographic and demographic data) when you register for a webinar, participate in a feedback/market survey, attend our live event (the DOCUMENT Strategy Forum), receive content/marketing promotions, such as downloadable resources, compiled articles, guidelines, market research or advertising media kits, or to administer your user account (to fulfill renewal or cancellation requests).

Use of Your Information
DOCUMENT Strategy Media undertakes substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality of the identity, preferences and other information it has collected about individual users and will never knowingly allow access to this information to anyone outside DOCUMENT Strategy Media other than to users or as described here and in the below section titled “sharing of information.”
 
DOCUMENT Strategy Media primarily uses the information directly provided by you, third party sources, analytics services (such as Google Analytics, marketing and customer relationship management platforms and email marketing/newsletter services) and/or through the use of general cookies to deliver the most relevant and targeted Content and advertising to our users. We may use user-specific and/or aggregated data to make reasonable assumptions (profiles) based on your user and browser behavior on our site and where we may be acting as a third party. DOCUMENT Strategy Media does not use information about its users for any unrelated purposes.
 
From time to time, DOCUMENT Strategy Media may provide email notifications (such as news/web alerts, content according to a specific topic, videos, digital magazines and information on webinars and our annual event), emails highlighting new features or services, targeted offers from advertising partners and account/administrative communications. We will never send such communications without your express consent to do so. Again, you may correct or modify what communications we send to you by clicking here.
 
DOCUMENT Strategy Media will never sell or transfer the ownership of your user information to any third party that is not owned, operated or an affiliate of DOCUMENT Strategy Media and/or MadMen3, LLC. However, we may rent our list of those users who have expressly provided their consent to do so to third party sources. For those users who have consented to receive promotional offers from third parties through our Communication Preference Center, we may transfer some personally identifiable information (including name, email and address) of those users who click on advertiser/product offers to third party sources. If you do not want any of your personally identifiable information to be released to any third party at any time, you may opt out of receiving "Advertiser/Product Information" by clicking here. We may also transfer some personally identifiable information (which may include name, email, phone number, address, job title, company and any other demographic information) to third party sources for our advertiser-sponsored webinars. Please be aware when you register for a sponsored DOCUMENT Strategy webinar, you are providing your personally identifiable information to that advertiser. Again, you may opt out of receiving information about "DOCUMENT Strategy Webinars" at any time through our Preference Center. We never release or disclose our user list to any third party for direct distribution. 

DOCUMENT Strategy Media does not rent/provide any EU user information to third parties for any reason.

Sharing of Information
DOCUMENT Strategy Media will not knowingly reveal any user's identity to marketers, unless that user has expressly consented to do so as outlined above. It is solely at the user's discretion if he or she chooses to provide personally identifiable information directly to a marketer/advertiser by making a purchase, requesting additional information or communicating directly with that company or organization after visiting its website or otherwise. 

As part of its day-to-day business activities, DOCUMENT Strategy Media may disclose certain aggregate-level information about DOCUMENT Strategy users to certain third parties. Below is the information and circumstances under which DOCUMENT Strategy Media may be required to disclose information to third parties.

1) To provide services: In order to enhance and administer services to you, we use third parties to provide email marketing/customer relationship management services, web content management/hosting services, print and mail services, telemarketing/list cleansing services and statistical analysis of our services (i.e., feedback surveys). During the course of administering these services, you may be requested to voluntarily provide certain user information during your use of the service and/or websites. If you voluntarily submit your personal information, it may be shared with DOCUMENT Strategy Media, certain affiliates and vendors providing services to DOCUMENT Strategy Media. DOCUMENT Strategy Media will only share the information as necessary for the third party to provide that service. These third parties are prohibited from using your user information for any other purpose. 

(2) To describe our marketing services: DOCUMENT Strategy Media offers its services and website Content at no cost to its users. As a result, DOCUMENT Strategy Media receives most of its revenue from advertisements placed across the various products and channels we provide. In order to attract and retain advertisers, we use the aggregated, anonymous information that we gather (as well as information from third party sources) to describe our services to potential clients and to assist our advertisers and sponsors to better understand our audience, to report on advertising campaigns that we undertake for any particular marketer and/or to implement and explain campaign strategies. Subject to the exceptions discussed above, we do not disclose personally identifiable information about our users to these parties.      

(3) To meet legal and/or compliance requirements: Due to the existing legal, regulatory and security environment, DOCUMENT Strategy Media may be required, under certain circumstances, to disclose aggregate and/or personally identifiable information about its users. DOCUMENT Strategy Media will use its best efforts to limit such disclosure to the following: where DOCUMENT Strategy Media believes in good faith that it is required to do so in response to a subpoena or other legal process; where reasonably required to do so in order to maintain, update or otherwise implement data security measures, equipment, technical operations and the like; or where reasonably necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities to preserve and/or enforce DOCUMENT Strategy Media's rights.

For those EU Individuals: DOCUMENT Strategy Media will process your user information on the legal basis of consent (collected at the time of user registration on the website), contract (if you have entered into a written Agreement with us and such processing is a necessary part of said Agreement) or legal obligation (as noted above). DOCUMENT Strategy Media may also process certain user information on the basis of our legitimate interests, provided that such interests are not overridden by your privacy rights and interests.

Security
DOCUMENT Strategy Media has made a substantial investment in its server, database, backup and firewall technologies to protect our information assets, including the confidentiality of information collected about DOCUMENT Strategy users. These technologies are deployed as part of a sophisticated security architecture and protocol. Unfortunately, neither DOCUMENT Strategy Media’s network nor data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect user information, DOCUMENT Strategy Media cannot ensure or warrant the security of user information. Once we receive your information, DOCUMENT Strategy Media undertakes substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality of user information consistent with this Privacy Statement. If you are concerned that your privacy may have been breached, please contact us at privacy@rbpub.com.
