SAVE AS PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, NEITHER WE NOR OUR LICENSORS AND/OR REPRESENTATIVES (AS DEFINED IN CLAUSE 2.17 ABOVE) MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, EXCLUDE ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, TITLE AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) REGARDING (A) THE SUITABILITY OF THE INFORMATION; (B) THE ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS OR TIMELINESS OF THE SITES, CONTENT OR SERVICES; OR (C) THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM ACCESSING AND USING ANY SITE, SERVICE OR CONTENT. FURTHER, WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT (A) THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SITES OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; (B) DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; (C) THE SITES, THE SERVICES OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE THEM AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; NOR (D) THE USE OF ANY OF THE CONTENT WILL NOT INFRINGE THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

(a) any incidental, punitive, indirect, special or consequential damage, loss or expenses, including but not limited to any loss of business, contracts, revenue, or profits, any business interruption, security breach, loss of data, loss of goodwill or reputation or other pecuniary loss suffered by you, even if we or any of our Representatives have been advised of their possible existence; nor

(b) any direct damage loss or expenses arising from loss of customers, loss of profits, loss of anticipated profits or loss of savings security breach or loss of data.

15.4 Without prejudice to Clause 15.3, neither we nor any Representative shall be liable to you for any direct or indirect damage, loss or expenses suffered by you as a result of:

(a) any viruses, worms, "Trojan horses" or similar programs, denial of service attack, spamming or hacking or consequential damages or any claim against us by any other party; or

(b) any fault, inaccuracy, omission, delay or any other failure in a Site or a Service caused by your computer equipment or arising from your use of the Service on such equipment; or

(c) any inaccuracies or errors in or omissions from any Content including, but not limited to, quotes and financial data; or

(d) any delays, interruptions or short-term or immaterial errors in the transmission or delivery of any Site or a Service; or

15.6 Without prejudice to Clause 25 below, to the extent that the provisions of any applicable law shall impose restrictions on the extent to which liability can be excluded under these Terms including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of sections 3, 6 and 11 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 in the UK (and its equivalent in any other jurisdiction) relating to the requirement of reasonableness, the exclusions set out in this Clause 15 shall be limited in accordance with such restrictions. However, any exclusions of liability that are not affected by such restrictions shall remain in full force and effect.

15.7 Without prejudice to the limitation of liability provisions above, in the event that you incur any loss, damage or expense arising out of your use of any Site, Content or a Service, you agree that our liability to you shall be limited to the sum of the subscription fees payable by you for Services provided in the twelve (12) month period preceding the date on which the claim arose (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include (a) any fees paid during such period for Services provided before such period, nor (b) any fees paid in advance during such period for Services provided after such period).

15.8 Euromoney II and other Group Companies may make their Annual Reports and Accounts available through its website. Neither an audit nor a review provides assurance on the maintenance and integrity of the website, including controls used to achieve this, and in particular whether any changes may have occurred to the financial information since first published. These matters are the responsibility of the directors but no control procedures can provide absolute assurance in this area. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial information differs from legislation in other jurisdictions.

16 INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify and hold us, our Representatives, licensors and sub-contractors harmless against all costs, claims, damages, liability and expenses (including any professional fees) which we might incur by reason of a breach by you of these Terms including, without limitation, any of the warranties, representations and undertakings in Clauses 4 and 10 above. For the avoidance of doubt, this indemnity shall extend (without limitation) to any losses which we may suffer as a result of the use by third parties of your user name and password, except in circumstances where you can demonstrate to our satisfaction that such third party obtained the relevant details through no fault (including, without limitation, negligence) of your own.

Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC - Privacy Notice

INTRODUCTION – WHO WE ARE

Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC is a global information business providing essential B2B information to global and specialist markets.

Euromoney and its group companies are committed to respecting the privacy of every person who visits, registers with or subscribes to our websites, publications, events and other products or services, or about whom we otherwise collect personal data.

Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC is the data controller of personal data collected through this website (www.euromoneyplc.com). If you are a customer or user of another Euromoney group website or service, then the Euromoney group company which operates that website or service will be the data controller of personal data collected through that website or service. Therefore it is possible that more than one Euromoney group company will be a controller of your personal data. You may contact any of these companies directly, or you can contact Euromoney by emailing dataprotectionofficer@euromoneyplc.com or writing to the Data Protection Officer at Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC, 8 Bouverie Street, London EC4Y 8AX, United Kingdom or using the contact details set out in the “Who We Are” section of this Privacy Notice.

References in this Privacy Notice to “Euromoney”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to the Euromoney group company or companies which are data controllers in respect of your personal data. For a full list of our brands and group companies, please click on this link.

This Privacy Notice was updated on 1 November 2021.

OUR APPROACH TO YOUR PRIVACY

This Privacy Notice outlines the information we may collect about you in relation to your use of our products or services (“personal data”). It also explains the legal rights that you have in relation to your personal data and how you may exercise these rights.

Some of our group companies may collect and use personal data for different purposes; those companies have their own websites and privacy notices. For example, some of our companies provide what we call people intelligence services whereby they collect, use, transfer, and distribute publicly available data on certain individuals. Different privacy policies available on those services apply to our collection and use of such data.

We will process your data for the following lawful purposes: with your consent; where it is necessary for us to perform a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract (for example, when you register for any of our services, subscribe to a publication, sign-up for an event or purchase a product from us); because the processing is necessary for us to comply with the law; or where the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party. We review the bases for our processing decisions carefully and you can object to these activities at any time (see the “Your Rights” section of this Privacy Notice).

WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT & WHY

Our primary goal in collecting personal data from you is to give you a relevant customised experience of our products and services.

◆ Registration, Free Trials & Subscriptions

When you register with our website and/or sign up for a free trial of our products or services, we may ask you to provide your name, address, email address and telephone number, and details relevant to your occupation or employer.

If you subscribe to one of our products or services, we will also ask for payment details. Credit/debit card payments are processed using a third party supplier and we do not retain the credit/debit card data (see the “Third Party Sites” section of this Privacy Notice). Address details may be shared with third party service providers engaged by us for order fulfilment, delivery and payment collection. This personal data is used by us to complete subscription requests.

◆ Events & Conferences

If you have registered for an event through a group website, or by telephone or by any other means, we may collect personal data including name, job title, company, address, telephone number and email.

This information is necessary so that we can complete your registration for the event and provide you with relevant event materials.

We may also share delegate details (e.g. name, email address) to event sponsors who may contact you for their own purposes.

◆ Advertising & Marketing

We may use the personal data you provide us and which we collect from you to inform you about other related products and services which we provide. We may send you marketing communications that are sponsored by our partners and which are targeted to your interests based on information you have provided us such as job title, employer and/or industry. We may share your personal data with Euromoney group companies so that they can send you marketing materials that may be of interest to you, in accordance with your preferences. You can opt out from receiving such materials at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any communication we send. You can also visit our Preference Centre.

The personal data we may use for advertising and marketing purposes includes your name, email address, job title, phone number, company name/employer, geographical location, postal address and data collected using cookies and other similar technology (please read our separate Cookies Policy to find out more about which cookies we use, how they work and how you can control your cookie options).

Marketing materials are sent electronically, by post and we may occasionally call you.

◆ Online Targeted Advertising

We use targeted advertising on our websites to display advertisements that are relevant to what we believe are your interests. In order to deliver appropriate advertisements, we use third parties to deliver cookies that collect information about your IP address and how you interact with our sites (e.g. browsing information, which articles you have read etc.). This data is used by the third parties to determine which advertisements may be of interest to you.

We may also share your personal data with third parties to deliver targeted advertising to you on other websites (e.g. Twitter Tailored Audiences or Facebook Custom Audiences). This could include your email address, cookie data, and information obtained from third parties. Third party cookies may also be used to enable us to target advertisements to you on other websites that you visit.

◆ Lead Generation and Scoring

We occasionally use the services of trusted third parties in order to ensure that the personal data we use for advertising and marketing purposes is accurate and up-to-date. To do this, we transfer personal data of individuals (such as name, email, job title, location and phone number) securely to these third parties who conduct research to verify the data – primarily against public information

We also use algorithmic software technology to help us improve the quality and relevance of our marketing activities. The personal data analysed by the software includes email address, phone number, job title, address, purchase history and account information. This allows us to provide offers that are relevant to your specific profile.

Additionally, we may receive your personal data from other sources, such as public databases, marketing partners and other third parties for use in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

Monitoring Transaction Data

We process information from Apps, through your browser or device and your IP address (collectively called Transaction Data) to:

monitor usage and performance of our products, services, processes and platforms; perform analysis (e.g. statistical, market, product analysis), reporting and forecasting.
understand how you interact with our products, services and platforms;
perform checks and prevent, detect, investigate and report usage contrary to our Terms and Conditions.

When processing your information for these purposes, we are relying on our legitimate interest to help us understand, develop, improve and market out products and services and our legitimate interest to manage risk and security.

◆ Surveys, Market Research & Customer Feedback

We want to understand the needs of our readers and customers. We may therefore use the information you provide us – including your name and contact details – to contact you to request your feedback, or to participate in our customer and market research.

◆ Public forums, message boards and blogs

Some of the pages on our group websites may include message boards, blogs or other facilities for generating content from users. Any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should always be careful when deciding to post any personal data. User generated content is also subject to our site Terms and Conditions.

◆ Social media

If you engage with our content on social media, we may receive your personal data via the relevant social media platform provider (including information regarding people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected). This personal data may be shared with the social media platform provider and other users of the social media platform, and you understand that the use of the information we share will be governed by our, and the relevant social media platform’s, privacy policy.

◆ Apps

When you download and use an App, we may track and collect App usage data, such as the date and time the App on your device accesses our servers, the pages you use and what information and files have been downloaded to the App based on your device number.

◆ Through your browser or device

Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type, screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language and Internet browser type and version. We use this information to ensure that our services are function properly.

◆ IP address

Your IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider. An IP address may be logged automatically in our server log files whenever you access our services, along with the time of the visit and the pages visited. Collecting IP addresses is done automatically by many websites, applications and other services. We use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels, diagnosing server problems and administering our services. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.

◆ Business or Asset Sale

If we sell a business or assets we may need to disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer of such business or assets.

If Euromoney, or any of our group companies, is sold or sells our assets or is acquired by a third party, then personal data about our customers will be acquired by that third party. A transfer of your personal data in these circumstances would be necessary so that the services you have contracted for can still be delivered, or so that you can continue to enjoy the benefits of our products and services. You will receive notice if a new controller assumes responsibility for your personal data.

◆ Additional Third Party Disclosures

We may disclose your personal data to other third parties in the following situations:

To third party partners who help us by providing services such as technology, marketing, advisory or other services. These third parties only receive encrypted data and may only process personal data to provide those services to us.
Where we are required by law or regulation to do so. In each case we will seek, where practicable, to minimise the amount of data that is disclosed.
If required to protect the rights and interests of other users and/or Euromoney and its affiliates (including our employees, agents and contractors), or as otherwise set out in our Terms and Conditions. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection.

◆ Email Tracking

We may include small pixel tags (small image files) within the emails we send you in order to determine whether our emails are opened and/or whether the hyperlinks inside our emails are clicked through. We may also collect browser, location and the device used to engage with our email communications. This information allows us to better understand whether we are meeting our users’ needs and how we can improve our communications. No other information is collected. You can opt out of receiving our direct marketing emails either by following the instructions in each email, writing to Euromoney’s Data Protection Officer (dataprotectionofficer@euromoneyplc.com) or by contacting us (see the “Who We Are” section of this Privacy Notice).

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Some of the Euromoney group companies are based outside the United Kingdom (UK) and European Economic Area (EEA). Any of our group companies that receive your personal data will be controllers of that personal data.

We may also transfer personal data to third party service providers as described in this Privacy Notice which are located outside the UK or EEA

Where we conduct the transfers detailed above, we take all appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal data remains protected, in accordance with applicable privacy legislation and this Privacy Notice. Such protections include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers to non EEA members, relying on data protection adequacy decisions by the UK or the European Commission, or any such similar provisions which offer the security and protection mandated by legislation and this Privacy Notice.

RETENTION PERIODS

We have a data retention policy that ensures we don’t use or store your personal data for longer than necessary. We consider the following issues to determine retention periods:

Guidance from the UK Information Commissioner or other regulatory agency, or industry best practice recommendations;
The use(s) of the personal data;
The business rationale for collection and expiry of the purpose for which personal data was collected;
Our ongoing ability to ensure the accuracy of the data; and
Legal and regulatory requirements.

We may occasionally need to keep personal data for either shorter or longer periods than specified in our retention policy. In such circumstances, application of the retention period to the data will be temporarily suspended. The suspension of an applicable retention period will be carried out in a manner that respects the rights and interests of all persons concerned.

HOW YOU CAN SET YOUR DATA & PRIVACY PREFERENCES

You can use our Preference Centre to select the topics that are of interest to you so that we can send you publications and information about our products and services that are especially relevant to you. You can also choose the channels we use to contact you (email, phone, post, etc.) and can also opt-out of receiving communications.

FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE IN THE UK AND EUROPEAN UNION: YOUR RIGHTS

You have certain rights in relation to your personal data which include the following:

◆ Access & Portability

You may request access to any personal data of yours for which Euromoney is responsible as controller. Unless there are legal or regulatory reasons for not doing so, we will confirm whether we process any of your personal data and if we do, we will provide you with the following information: the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data, any recipients of your personal data, the applicable retention period and the data source. Copies of your personal data will be made available to you in a structured, machine-readable format or as otherwise agreed between us.

You may also request that we transfer the personal data that you have submitted to us, to another controller, where it is technically feasible for us to do so.

You have the right to request that Euromoney rectify any errors in the personal data that we process. In some circumstances, you may also be able to ask for the erasure of personal data, and/or request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
