To the extent that CIO GLOBAL NETWORK processes any Personal Information (as defined in the DPA) that is subject to the GDPR (as defined in the DPA), in the provision of our Service, the terms of the data processing addendum on this page, which are hereby incorporated by reference, shall apply and all CIO GLOBAL NETWORK Publisher partners agree to comply with such terms including, without limitation, the standard contractual clauses and their appendices.
There may be several publication qualification forms that are linked directly to our partner's site. Although we strongly encourage our partners to employ similar security measures, we cannot be responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by the CIO GLOBAL NETWORK cio-uk.com website.
As part of your TradePub.com membership, you will receive periodic email newsletter updates offering you access to contextually relevant free resources, offers, and content related to your Profile Information as well as your historical content consumption behaviour.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by clicking on the unsubscribe link contained in all email communications. Alternatively, you can request to be removed from our newsletter list by emailing '[email protected]' with your request. Opting out from receiving our emails will place your membership stats into a "Read Only" state meaning that you can only consume/interact with the content you have historically already requested. Requesting any new content will consequently trigger your account in an "Active" status which would then reintroduce you to receiving our email newsletter updates. Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party.
cio-uk.com takes every precaution to protect user information. When users submit sensitive information, the information is protected both online and offline.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (i.e. credit card number or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information offline. All user information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g. billing clerks or customer service representatives) are granted access to personally identifiable information, and then only through password-protected screen savers. Furthermore, all employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices. When new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
While CIO GLOBAL NETWORK will work very hard to maintain secure sites, no data transmission on the Internet can be guaranteed.
CIO GLOBAL NETWORK is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. As this policy may change from time to time, we encourage you to check back periodically.
We will use information per the privacy policy under which the information was collected. However, if at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether we may use their information differently.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect and store. Unfortunately, no security measures are 100% foolproof, and as such no network or system (including ours) can be guaranteed to be 100% secure against destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to the information we collect and store. If you believe your information may not be secure for any reason, please contact us immediately at [email protected]
You have many choices to access the information we collect about you and about how we use or disclose that information. This section details many of those choices, including how you can exercise rights you may for your information (including personally identifiable information), how you can opt out of the collection and use of certain types of information for certain purposes (such as marketing), and how you can use your browser or third-party tools to disable certain collection methods (such as cookies or tracking technologies).
Thank you for reading our Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about this Policy, please contact [email protected], or call at +44 7584321417.
