Marketing Hub Media (marketinghubmedia.com, the site) is an independent trade publication covering marketing technology and the business of demand generation. The site is published by Magrofy, a company registered in India with its head office at 399 Hoes Ln, Ste 304, Piscataway, NJ 08854, United States and operations in Pune and Hyderabad, India. In this policy, we, us and our mean Magrofy as publisher of Marketing Hub Media.
This policy explains what personal information we collect through the site, why we collect it, who we share it with and what rights you have. If you have any question about it, write to us at info@marketinghubmedia.com.
1.Who is responsible for your information
Magrofy is the controller of personal information collected through marketinghubmedia.com. Where we process information on behalf of an advertiser or sponsor, that party may be a separate controller of that information, and their own privacy policy will apply in addition to ours. We explain when this happens in section 5.
2.Information we collect
2.1 Information you give us
- Newsletter and subscriptions. Your email address, and where offered your name, when you subscribe to our newsletter or briefings.
- Gated content and research downloads. Where an article, report, whitepaper or research download is gated behind a form, the information you enter on that form. This typically includes your name, work email address, company name, job title, and may include country, company size, industry or a small number of questions supplied by the sponsor of that content.
- Contact, pitches and enquiries. Your name, email address, company, role and the content of your message when you use a contact form or write to us directly.
- Events and surveys. Where you attend a webinar, event or survey we run, the registration details you provide and, for surveys, your responses.
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Technical and usage data. Your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, the pages you view on the site, and the dates and times of your visits.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, measure audience and, where you consent, to support advertising and analytics. Section 4 explains this in full.
2.3 Information from other sources
We may receive information about you from analytics providers, advertising partners, business-data providers and from other publications operated by Magrofy, and may combine it with information we already hold in order to keep our records accurate and to understand our audience. Where we do this we hold the combined record under this policy.
3.Why we use your information and our legal grounds
| What we do | Why | Legal ground under GDPR |
|---|---|---|
| Deliver the site and its content | To operate, secure and improve marketinghubmedia.com | Legitimate interests - running and protecting our publication |
| Send newsletters and briefings | To deliver the editorial email you asked for | Consent, or legitimate interests where permitted for existing business contacts |
| Provide gated content | To give you the report or asset you requested and to pass your details to its sponsor where we told you we would | Consent, and performance of the request you made |
| Respond to enquiries | To answer you and keep a record of the exchange | Legitimate interests - responding to you |
| Measure and improve | To understand which coverage is read and to improve it | Legitimate interests, or consent where analytics cookies require it |
| Advertising and sponsorship | To sell, deliver and measure advertising that funds the publication | Consent for tracking-based advertising; legitimate interests for contextual advertising |
| Legal and compliance | To meet our legal obligations and to establish or defend legal claims | Legal obligation and legitimate interests |
4.Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies in four categories. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working and cannot be switched off. Preference cookies remember choices such as your consent settings. Analytics cookies help us understand how the site is used. Advertising cookies support the delivery and measurement of advertising.
Where required by law we ask for your consent before setting anything other than strictly necessary cookies, and you can change or withdraw that consent at any time through the cookie settings link in the site footer. We honour recognised opt-out signals, including Global Privacy Control, where the law requires us to.
5.When we share your information
Read this section carefully. It describes how our gated content works.
5.1 Sponsors of gated content
Some research reports, whitepapers and other assets on marketinghubmedia.com are sponsored by third parties, usually technology vendors. When an asset is sponsored, we state that clearly on the form before you submit it, and we name the sponsor. If you choose to complete that form and download the asset, we share the information you submitted with the named sponsor, who may contact you about their products and services. The sponsor becomes an independent controller of that information and handles it under its own privacy policy. If you do not want your information shared in this way, do not submit the form - the same editorial coverage remains available to read on the site without one.
5.2 Other recipients
- Service providers. Companies that host our site, send our email, manage our forms, verify email addresses, provide analytics and provide security services. They act on our instructions under contract.
- Group companies. Other publications and business units operated by Magrofy, for the purposes described in this policy.
- Advertisers, in aggregate. Aggregated or de-identified audience reporting that does not identify you individually.
- Legal and regulatory. Where we are required to by law, regulation, legal process or a government request, or where we need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
- Business transfers. If our business or assets are sold, merged or reorganised, information may transfer to the acquiring party under this policy.
We do not sell your personal information for money. Some sharing for advertising or lead-generation purposes may nonetheless count as a sale or a share under California law, so we treat it that way and give you the opt-out described in our Do Not Sell or Share notice.
6.International transfers
We operate in the United States and India, and our service providers may be located in other countries. This means your information may be transferred to and processed outside your country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. Where we transfer personal information out of the EEA or the UK we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's standard contractual clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, together with additional measures where they are needed. You can ask us for details of the safeguards that apply by writing to info@marketinghubmedia.com.
7.How long we keep it
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose we collected it. Newsletter records are kept while you remain subscribed and for a reasonable period afterwards so that we can honour your unsubscribe. Records relating to gated content are kept for as long as we need to evidence the consent you gave and to meet our obligations to the sponsor. Enquiry correspondence is kept for as long as needed to handle the matter and for our ordinary business records. Where information is no longer needed we delete it or de-identify it.
8.Your rights
8.1 If you are in the EEA or the United Kingdom
You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to have inaccurate information corrected, to ask us to delete it, to ask us to restrict how we use it, to object to processing we carry out on the basis of legitimate interests, and to receive certain information in a portable format. Where we rely on your consent you may withdraw it at any time without affecting processing already carried out. You also have the right to complain to your local supervisory authority.
8.2 If you are in California
You have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose and share, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising, and the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. See our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information notice for how to exercise the opt-out.
8.3 If you are in India
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act you have the right to access a summary of the personal data we process about you, to have it corrected, completed, updated or erased, to nominate another individual to exercise your rights in the event of your death or incapacity, and to a grievance-redressal process. You may withdraw your consent at any time. To exercise these rights, or to raise a grievance, contact us at info@marketinghubmedia.com.
8.4 How to exercise your rights
Write to info@marketinghubmedia.com with the words Privacy Request in the subject line and tell us what you would like us to do. We may need to verify your identity before we act, and we will respond within the period required by the law that applies to you. There is no charge for a reasonable request.
9.Security
We maintain an information security management system certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and we apply technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including access controls, encryption in transit, and validation of the records we hold. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to the site over the internet.
10.Children
Marketing Hub Media is a business publication written for working professionals. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, write to info@marketinghubmedia.com and we will delete it.
11.Third-party links
Our articles link to other websites, including those of the companies we write about. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites, and this policy does not apply to them.
12.Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of the page, and where the change is material we will give notice on the site or by email before it takes effect.
