Introduction
Executive Edge Magazine (“Executive Edge”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits our website, applies to be featured, subscribes to our content, or otherwise interacts with us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have in relation to it. We are committed to complying with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
By using our website or engaging with our services, including applying for an Executive Spotlight feature, submitting an article, or subscribing to updates, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Who We Are
We are an online business magazine. If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, please contact us at editor@executiveedgemagazine.com.
Information We Collect
We collect personal data in a few different ways, depending on how you interact with us. This may include your name, job title, company name, email address, telephone number, and any other information you choose to provide when applying for a feature, submitting content, or contacting our editorial team. When you apply for an Executive Spotlight or another editorial feature, we also collect the professional details, biography, and supporting material you submit as part of your application.
We may also collect data automatically when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages viewed, typically through cookies and similar technologies. Where you complete a survey, enter a competition, or sign up to a newsletter, we collect whatever information is needed to fulfil that request.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal data to process applications for editorial features, to communicate with you about the status of an application or submission, and to deliver the content, newsletters, or services you have requested. We also use it to improve our website and editorial output, to maintain the security of our systems, and to meet our legal and regulatory obligations.
Where an application to Executive Edge Magazine is successful, we will contact you with further details of the editorial process, including any associated production costs, at the appropriate stage of your application journey. We will never share commercial terms as part of an automated confirmation message.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your data on one or more of the following legal bases: your consent, where you have given it; the performance of a contract or arrangement with you, such as an editorial feature agreement; our legitimate interests in running an editorial publication and communicating with contributors and readers; and compliance with a legal obligation, where applicable.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share it with trusted third-party service providers who support our operations, such as website hosting, email delivery, and payment processing, and who are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify. We may also disclose data where required by law, to protect our legal rights, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of some or all of our business, in which case your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
If a feature you contribute to is sponsored or produced in partnership with a client of Executive Edge Magazine, you will always be given the opportunity to review this policy before any of your details are shared with that client.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to help it function properly, to understand how visitors use our site, and to improve the experience we provide. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect how parts of our website work.
Data Retention
We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, including any applicable legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Once this is no longer the case, we will securely delete or anonymise your data.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Transfers
Where your data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision, so your data continues to be protected to UK standards.
Your Rights
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to have inaccurate data corrected, and to request its deletion where appropriate. You may also object to certain processing, request that processing be restricted, and ask for your data to be provided to you in a portable format. Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at editor@executiveedgemagazine.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe we have not handled your data appropriately.
Children’s Privacy
Executive Edge Magazine is intended for a professional business audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 16.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
