This policy explains what personal data New Business Herald collects when you use newbusinessherald.com, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you email the editorial desk, submit a correction request, or complete a form on the site, we receive the information you choose to send — typically your name, email address and the content of your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers record standard technical information when a page is requested: IP address, browser type and version, device type, referring page, the pages viewed, and the date and time of the request. This is used to operate the site, diagnose faults and understand aggregate traffic patterns.
Cookies and similar technologies. The site uses cookies that are necessary for it to function, and may use analytics and advertising cookies to measure readership and serve advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking non-essential cookies will not prevent you from reading the site.
How we use personal data
- To deliver and maintain the website and keep it secure.
- To respond to editorial, correction, commercial and privacy enquiries.
- To understand which articles readers find useful, in aggregate.
- To serve and measure advertising where applicable.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell personal data.
Legal bases
Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on: our legitimate interest in operating and improving a publication; your consent, where consent is requested (for example for non-essential cookies or marketing email); and compliance with legal obligations.
Sharing
We share personal data only with service providers who process it on our behalf — for example our hosting provider, analytics provider and email provider — and where we are legally required to disclose it. Service providers are permitted to use the data only to provide their service to us.
Retention
Correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle the matter and to keep a record of corrections. Technical logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict processing, to withdraw consent, and to receive your data in a portable form. To exercise any of these rights, email admin@newbusinessherald.com with Privacy in the subject line.
If you believe we have handled your data improperly, you may complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
The site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
External links
Our articles link to external sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites, and we encourage you to read their policies.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page if our practices change, and will note the date of the most recent revision here.
