GDPR & Data Protection
Datapoint Daily is committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of our readers, subscribers, contributors, partners and other users of our digital services. We aim to handle personal data responsibly, transparently and securely, and to respect applicable data protection requirements, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where it applies.
Information We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with Datapoint Daily, we may collect information such as your name, email address, contact details, newsletter subscription preferences, information submitted through contact forms, advertising or partnership enquiries, and other information that you voluntarily provide.
We may also collect limited technical and usage information when you access our website, including browser type, device information, IP address, referring pages, pages visited and similar information required for security, analytics, performance and operation of our services.
How We Use Personal Information
We may process personal information to operate and improve Datapoint Daily, deliver requested services, manage newsletter subscriptions, respond to enquiries, maintain website security, understand how our publication is used, process legitimate business communications and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Where required by law, we will rely on an appropriate legal basis for processing, such as consent, contractual necessity, compliance with a legal obligation or our legitimate interests in operating and securing our publication.
Newsletter and Communications
Users who voluntarily subscribe to Datapoint Daily communications may receive newsletters, news updates or other editorial communications.
Where consent is required, users may withdraw that consent at any time. Marketing or newsletter emails should provide an appropriate method for unsubscribing from future communications.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily prevent us from sending essential administrative or transactional communications where applicable.
Cookies and Analytics
Datapoint Daily may use cookies and similar technologies for essential website functionality, security, analytics, performance measurement, preferences and, where applicable, advertising.
Where required, consent will be requested before non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies are activated.
More information about these technologies and available choices can be found in our Cookie Policy.
Sharing of Information
Datapoint Daily does not sell personal information.
We may use trusted service providers to support services such as website hosting, infrastructure, email delivery, analytics, security, payments and other operational requirements.
Where such providers process personal information on our behalf, we aim to use services that provide appropriate data protection and security safeguards.
We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process or where reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights or integrity of Datapoint Daily, our users or others.
International Data Transfers
Some technology and service providers used by Datapoint Daily may process or store information in countries different from the country in which a user is located.
Where GDPR requirements apply to such transfers, appropriate safeguards should be used as required by applicable law.
Data Retention
We aim to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legitimate operational, security, contractual and legal requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it is being processed.
Your Data Protection Rights
Where GDPR or other applicable data protection laws provide these rights, individuals may have the right to:
Request access to personal information held about them.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances.
Request restriction of processing.
Object to certain processing activities.
Request portability of eligible personal information.
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Lodge a complaint with an appropriate data protection authority.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal limitations or exemptions.
Data Security
Datapoint Daily takes reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.
However, no internet-based service or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.
Children
Datapoint Daily is a general news publication and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children where parental or guardian consent would be legally required.
If we become aware that personal information has been collected in circumstances that do not comply with applicable requirements, appropriate steps may be taken to remove it.
Changes to This Notice
We may update this Data Protection notice periodically to reflect changes to our services, technologies, business practices or applicable legal requirements.
Where appropriate, the updated version and effective date will be published on this website.
