Privacy notice

The Marketing Practice takes your privacy seriously and respects your wishes. We take all necessary steps to ensure that your data is protected and processed in a way that complies with and often exceeds current data protection legislation in all regions in which we operate. We will never sell your data to any 3rd parties and will always be transparent and honest about how we collect, manage, and share your information.

Information we collect

When you complete a web form to register for one of our events, make an enquiry or to download an information asset, we will ask you for certain information including contact details (name, company name, job title, address, email, and telephone number).

From time to time, we may also gather data from networking forums, company websites and other publicly available sources of information in order to identify and communicate with additional people who might be interested in our events, services and marketing intelligence.

We process this data for our legitimate interest to understand the profile of people who may be interested in us and the marketing services we provide, and to communicate information about future events, our services and marketing intelligence we may offer.

If you would prefer not to receive such communications, you may opt-out at any time via the unsubscribe button that is included on all our marketing communications, or by contacting us via email or post via:

If you apply for or enquire about a job with us, we will collect the personal data that you provide to us. For more information on how we manage recruitment data click here

In addition to the above, we collect information via cookies about how you use our website. You are able to control these cookies by selecting ' manage cookies' on the cookie banner. Please see our cookie notice for further information on the cookies used on this site, how we use them and how you can control them.

How we manage your information

The information we hold is kept in a secure way with appropriate measures taken to protect it from misuse, unauthorised access, loss, and inaccuracy. These measures include technical and organizational precautions designed to limit access solely to those who need it and to ensure your data is used only for the purpose for which it was collected.

Where we are processing your data to provide services to you, we will keep your information for as long as is needed to provide those services and for a reasonable period afterward as is needed for our tax and legal obligations.

Where we are processing your information for marketing purposes, we will continue to do so until such a time as you inform us that you wish to be removed from our marketing programmes, after which we will immediately cease processing, keeping only a shadow record to prevent your data from being accidentally re-entered into our marketing activities.

How we share your information

We will only share your information with a small number of trusted partners. These may include banks and payment providers (in order to pay you), service providers (to assist us in supplying services to you), other agencies, law enforcement or governmental organizations where we are required to make such disclosures by applicable law (for example, tax agencies).

  • Right to be informed - You have the right to request confirmation as to whether we are processing personal data concerning you. If we are processing your data, you have the right to further information about this processing, for example, the processing purposes, the recipient and the planned duration of storage or the criteria for determining the duration.
  • Right of access - You have a right to know what information we hold about you, often referred to as a Subject Access Request or SAR.
  • Right to rectification - You have a right ask us to correct data that we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete.

AU
In Australia, companies must follow the Australian Privacy Principles relating to the collection, management and protection of personal data as defined in the Australian Privacy Act (APA). If you wish to talk to us about any of these principles, please email us via privacy@themarketingpractice.com. You may also lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection supervisory authority at any time, for example if you believe that data processing is not in accordance with data protection regulations or if you feel that we have not adequately answered your query. In Australia, the relevant authority is the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner who may be contacted via enquiries@oaic.gov.au.
The main Australian Privacy Principles are:
  • Your data must be collected and managed in an open and transparent manner.
  • You must be notified when your information is being collected, who is collecting it, why it is being collected, how the data will be used, how you may contact the entity collecting the information and how you may complain.
  • You may request access to the data that is held about you – companies cannot charge you for access or refuse access unless there is a lawful reason to do so.
  • You may request correction of data concerning you that you consider to be incorrect.
  • Data collected about you must be limited to what is reasonably required for the intended use.
  • Your data must not be used for a purpose other than the one for which it was collected unless further consent is given, the secondary use is one that would reasonably be expected or it is if required by law.
  • Your personal data may only be used for Direct Marketing where you have given consent or the information is publicly available or where the direct marketing relates to similar previous purchases from that company. The company must provide a free and straightforward opt out mechanism and bring this to your attention in all marketing communications.
  • Your data may only be transferred to 3rd countries that offer a similar level of protection as Australia unless you have consented to the transfer or if it is required by law.
  • Companies must take reasonable steps to keep your data up to date, accurate and complete
  • Companies must take reasonable steps to protect your personal data and delete data it no longer needs.
