How we use your personal data

We use personal data collected through our site or when you contact us only when we have a valid reason and the legal grounds to do so. We determine the legal grounds based on the purposes for which we have collected your personal data. 

Legal grounds for using your personal data

The legal ground may be one of the following:

  • Consent: Often we will use your personal data because we have asked for your consent, which you can withdraw at any time. Examples of where we ask for your consent include:

    • to send marketing emails to you, when we have asked your permission. You can withdraw your consent to receiving these emails at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the email or through your email preferences in the “emails and marketing” tab, when signed into your Guardian account.

    • to place non-essential cookies, or other similar technology. We provide more details of how we use cookies in our cookie policy. You can withdraw your consent to us placing these cookies at any time through our Privacy Settings.

    • to analyse your registration data and data collected from cookies to personalise advertising. We do this by analysing your data to predict what you might be interested in. We will also compare your registration data with trusted partners.

  • Performance of a contract with you or in order to take steps (or to take steps prior to entering into a contract with you) as a representative of your organisation. For example, where you have purchased B2B Advertising Services from us and we need to use your contact details in order to process the order and deliver the service, and manage your account and your order/s

  • Compliance with law: In some cases, we may have a legal obligation to use or keep your personal data.

  • Our legitimate interests: We may process your personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate interest in a way that might be expected as part of running Guardian services and in a way which does not materially impact your rights and freedoms.  For example it is in our legitimate interests for us to understand our business customers, promote our services and operate our site efficiently for the provision of our services. Example of when we rely on our our legitimate interest to use your personal data include:

    •  when we analyse what content has been viewed on our site and apps, so that we can understand how they are used and improve our content.

    • to display content on Vimeo. We process personal data so that business customers can access this video player and we can understand how users interact with our content.

    • analyse our business customers to better understand your interests and preferences so that we can make our marketing more relevant to you. This includes when we promote our own products and services. For example, we look at what you have viewed on our sites and apps and what products and services you have bought (including what you have looked at and what products or services you have bought on our other platforms). You can opt out from having your personal data used for marketing analyses by contacting us.

    • to show you more relevant advertising based on that analysis by creating “segments” of particular types of audiences so that we can show you advertisements that may be more relevant to you and the ‘’segments’’ you may be in.

    • to use those “segments” to create”custom audiences” so that we can identify our audience across third party websites. This is normally by using cookies as described in our cookie policy. For example we use these “custom audiences” to present advertising on social media platforms like Facebook. You can manage the use of cookies by clicking the Privacy settings link on our sites in the footer of every page.

    • for internal administrative purposes related to our services - such as our accounting and records.

    • to inform you of any changes to our services, such as updates to our terms and conditions.

    • to collect and log IP addresses to improve and manage our site.

    • to personalise our services (for example when you sign in) by remembering your settings, and recognising you when you sign in to access our site.

    • when we respond to your queries and to resolve complaints.

    • for security and fraud prevention, and to ensure that our sites are safe and secure and used in line with our terms of use.

Where we rely on cookies to collect any personal data please see our cookie policy for more information and how to manage your cookie choices through your Privacy settings.

The Guardian is a media organisation and publisher. Data protection law includes certain exemptions when personal data is processed for the purposes of journalism. Those exemptions apply to some of the ways the Guardian uses personal data. This Privacy Policy does not cover personal data that the Guardian processes for the purposes of journalism.

 

Personal data that we receive about you from other organisations

Adding to or combining the personal data you provide to us

When you sign up to our services we may add to the personal data you give us by combining it with other personal data shared with us by other trusted organisations. This includes, for example, the region that you are located in, so that we can show you  relevant information about our services. . We may also add personal data to improve the accuracy of your delivery address when we send out mail. We may also obtain your personal data from partners whose offers we include in some of our marketing communications and we use this personal data to ensure that we do not send you irrelevant marketing and to ensure the accuracy of the information we hold.

 

We also use personal data based on the content you have viewed on our sites and your interaction with the content, so that we can make services more relevant. Sometimes we use data about your interests or demographics that some of our global third parties have collected from you online to add you to these groups, such as Freshdesk and Lead Forensics. Please refer to our cookie policy  for more information on how we use cookies.

Using children’s personal data

We do not aim any of our products or services directly at children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data about children under 13. We also note that California law prohibits sale of personal data of consumers between 13-16 years of age unless the guardian has authorised the sale. We comply with this requirement.

Security of your personal data

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational controls to protect your personal data against unauthorised processing and against accidental loss, damage or destruction. You are responsible for choosing a secure password when we ask you to set up a password to access parts of our sites or apps. You should keep this password confidential and you should choose a password that you do not use on any other site. You should not share your password with anyone else, including anyone who works for us. Unfortunately, sending any information, including personal data, via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data once with us, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data sent to our site while still in transit and so you provide it at your own risk.

 

When we share or sell your personal data

Within the Guardian group of companies 

Depending on where you live, we may share your personal data within the Guardian group of companies in the UK, US, or Australia. We may share it in order to perform a contract with you, for administrative purposes, or when we have a legitimate interest in doing so. For example:

  • If you are going to one of our events hosted by an event partner, we may share your personal data with that partner for event administration purposes

  • Sometimes we may receive a letter, email or another form of communication from you that we consider to be significant to the history of the Guardian. We may decide to share this with the Guardian Archive run by the Guardian Foundation for historic and archiving purposes

  • We may share your data to understand how you interact across our group products or to tailor and offer relevant services  to you.

 

With external organisations

We share your personal data with other organisations that are not directly linked to us under the following circumstances:

Service providers - We may share your data with other organisations that provide services on our behalf. We may do this to perform a contract we have entered into with you, where it is in our legitimate interests or with your consent. Examples of when we may share your data with service providers include sharing with:

  • website hosting providers, such as Madgex and Visible Dots

  • fraud management providers that help us to identify and prevent online fraud

  • internet and cloud hosting services providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS)

  • software service providers such as Salesforce and Pardot that assist us with our relationship management

  • communications services providers, such as our podcast service provider called Acast

  • error tracking software providers, such as Sentry and Google Firebase, to help us diagnose and fix errors and optimise the performance of our website and apps

  • service providers that help us carry out analytics, facilitate audience creation and segmentation and to measure our audience engagement. For example, Permutive provides us with data management platform services

  • service providers that help provide us with insights and analytics that help us to improve our products and services. For example, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our sites or apps . If you don’t want Google Analytics to be used in your browser, you can install the ‘Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On’, provided by Google

  • data management companies, such as Freshdesk, that help us collect data via online forms, surveys and chat and Lead Forensics to identify potential business leads.

  • Embedded video player providers, such as Vimeo, to provide content on our websites 

  • Webinars hosting for example through Zoom 

Advertising partners We may also share your data collected through our websites with our advertising partners, as set out in our cookie policy. These partners help us deliver relevant advertising across our websites and apps. For example, we use Google Ad Manager to assist us with the delivery of relevant ads.

 

Agencies and authorities if required by law - We may reveal your personal data to any law enforcement agency, court, regulator, government authority, or in connection with any legal action if we are required to do so to meet a legal or regulatory obligation, where the request is proportionate, or otherwise to protect our rights or the rights of anyone else (for example, in response to valid and properly served legal process such as subpoena or warrant). We will attempt to notify you prior to disclosing your data unless (i) prohibited by applicable law from doing so, or (ii) there are clear indications of unlawful conduct in connection with your use of GNM services.

Event sponsors and partners - we may share your personal data with sponsors of Guardian events and partners who we hold events with for marketing purposes when you have given your permission for us to do so.

Social media organisations - We may share your personal data with other organisations when our web pages use social plug-ins from these organisations (such as the “Facebook Recommend” function, Twitter’s retweet function, Google+ function). These other organisations may receive and use personal data about your visit to our site. If you browse the Jobs  site, personal data they collect may be connected to your account on their site. For more information on how these organisations use personal data, please read their privacy policies.

Organisations/s that buy any of the Guardian group companies - We may share your personal data to any other organisation that buys, or to which we transfer all, or substantially all, of our assets and business. If this sale or transfer takes place, we will use reasonable efforts to try to make sure that the organisation we transfer your personal data to uses it in line with our privacy policy.

These transfers to third parties may constitute “sale” of your personal information under California law. A California resident can halt these sales at any time by pressing the “California resident - Do not sell” link that is located in the footer of every page on our site. Third-parties do not sell personal information that has been sold to them by the Guardian unless you have first received explicit notice and are provided an opportunity to exercise the right to opt out. You can read further about your California rights here. Anyone using the Guardian, our sites, or our apps may manually inspect the sharing, transfer, and sale of their personal data in our cookie policy.

When we share your personal data, as specified above, with any organisation which accesses your data in the course of  providing services on our behalf, they will be governed by strict contractual restrictions to make sure that they protect your data and comply with applicable law. We may also independently audit these service providers to make sure that they meet our standards.

 

 

International data transfers

Data we collect may be transferred to, stored and processed in any country or territory where one or more of our Guardian group companies or service providers are based or have facilities. While other countries or territories may not have the same standards of data protection as those in your home country, we will continue to protect personal data that we transfer in line with this privacy policy.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure similar protection and put in place at least one of these safeguards:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been found to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.

  • We may also use specific approved contracts that use Standard Contractual Clauses for the protection of personal data where appropriate, with our service providers that are based in countries outside the UK and EEA, including those based in the US and Australia. These contracts give your personal data the same protection it has in the UK and EEA.

If you are located in the UK or the EEA, you may contact us for a copy of the safeguards which we have put in place for the transfer of your personal data outside the UK or the EEA.

 

How long we keep your personal data

Data  will  only be kept for  as long as we need to. How long we need your personal data depends on what we are using it for,  as set out in this privacy policy. For example, we may need to use it to answer your queries about a product or service and as a result may keep personal data while you are still using our product or services. If we no longer need your data, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you. If we have asked for your permission to process your personal data and we have no other lawful grounds to continue with that processing, and you withdraw your permission, we will delete your personal data. 

However, when you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we will keep your email address to ensure that we do not send you any marketing communications in future.

 

How we may contact you 

Service communications

From time to time we may send you service emails,  for example, sending you an invoice or information about your purchase and our delivery of services to you. We may also contact you for the same or similar reasons by phone.

Marketing communications

Where you have provided us with your details in relation to our sites, then we will send you emails that relate to the products and services that you originally contacted us about or currently purchase from us. You can unsubscribe from these emails at any time by clicking the ‘manage your preferences’ link on the bottom of the email.

Market research - Guardian Recruiter Services

If you have opted in for marketing communications, we may also sometimes contact you for market research purposes, for example about a survey.   If you opt out of receiving requests for marketing communications you will also be opted out of market research.
