PRIVACY POLICY

WELCOME

We’re glad you chose to visit an IDG Communications, Inc. dba Foundry
(“Foundry”) site! We care about your privacy and the information you share with
us and want you to understand how we are using and protecting the information we
collect about you. Foundry is respectful of data privacy and adopts best
practice in compliance with applicable privacy law and regulations, including
the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the ePrivacy Directive
2002/58/EC, including its implementation by individual Member States of the EU,
and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK successor law to the ePrivacy
Directive 2002/58/EC (together “UK GDPR”). Also covered is the California
Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

USE OF THIS WEBSITE

be stored and processed in the United States of America and across the IDG
Communications Publishing Network as described below.

This website, and associated Foundry events and publications provide products,

intended for individuals under the age of 13 years old. We do not knowingly
collect or store personal data provided by anyone under 13 years of age.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE COLLECT IT

Foundry collects data about you that is limited to the kind of information that
can be found on a typical business card: first name, last name, job title,
employer/company name, work address, work email, and work phone number
(“Business Card Data”). In some cases, we may ask you to provide additional
professional information such as the size of the company you work for, and
industry type.

To enhance and/or update the information that you have provided to us, we may
combine it with professional information or personal data that we collect from
third- party sources. The personal data that we refer to in this document is the
personal and professional information you provide, as well as information that
we obtain from third-party sources, both of which we typically combine as one
user record.

Foundry sometimes collects Business Card Data from publicly available sources.
For more details of the type of sources we access and what we do with this
personal data please see the Foundry Fair Processing Notice here.

This site also collects and stores certain information automatically using
cookies and similar technologies, including IP addresses, the region or general
location of a computer or device accessing the internet, browser type, operating
system, page view history, and other usage information. See our Cookie Policy
for further details.

However, to the extent that any cookie can uniquely identify a computer, mobile
device, or tablet (“Device”), or the person using that Device, and you are an
EU/EEA/UK/CH resident, under the GDPR and the UK GDPR, this is personal data.
Therefore, this privacy policy shall apply to such personal data collected by
Foundry.

Foundry sites earn revenues from displaying third-party advertisements which may
be relevant to you. Your consent is required for this and Foundry uses a Consent
Management Platform to show what tracking, advertisers or cookies we use and to
afford you the opportunity to opt-in.

Some of our sites use a system that affords you the option to pay a small fee
instead of providing your personal data. In this case you will be asked to allow
tracking and cookies in order to access our content. If you do not wish to
opt-into tracking, advertising and cookies you may pay for access through our
third-party partner.

HOW WE COLLECT IT

We may collect your personal data when you register to receive any of the
products, content or services offered by Foundry or its third-party sponsors
(“sponsors”) such as publications, subscriptions, contests, newsletters,
memberships, premium content, webcasts, video, white papers, online seminars,
conferences and events.

In addition, we may collaborate with our sister company, IDC, to produce events.
If that is the case, your personal data may also be collected and processed by
IDC as an independent controller in accordance with IDC’s privacy policy.

Business information used in the Foundry Intent platform or any other marketing
intent platform tools provided by Foundry can be aggregated from a number of
sources. Data can be aggregated from visitors to our client’s own websites. Data
can also be aggregated from Foundry owned and operated websites. Business
information may be collected from publicly available sources where no
restriction is placed on the collection of that data for business purposes. Data
collected may be enriched by data licensed by Foundry from third parties.

On some of our sites we offer certain sponsored content which may be of interest
to our readers and we make this content available in exchange for your consent
for both us and the sponsor of that content to contact you for direct marketing
purposes. We and our sponsors have a commercial interest in providing this
content and your consent enables us to provide this without charge. You have the
right to withdraw your consent at any time going forward.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON’T PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA?

In order for us to provide the products, content or services you request, we
need your personal data. Therefore, if you do not provide such personal data, we
cannot deliver the products, content or services.

IDG COMMUNICATIONS PUBLISHING NETWORK

This website is one of many that Foundry and its group of undertakings operates,
all of which we collectively refer to as the IDG Communications Publishing
Network. Where permitted by law, we may share the personal data we collect about
you with another IDG Communications Publishing Network company so that we can
provide you with information about products, content and services that might
interest you, and for internal analytical and business development purposes.
Please click here for a list of the online and print publications included in
the IDG Communications Publishing Network.

HOW DO WE SAFEGUARD YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Foundry maintains safeguards which include technical and organizational security
measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized use,
access, inadvertent disclosure, alteration, and destruction, and we require the
third parties we contract with to support Foundry’s business operations to
employ reasonable security measures as well (see “When and how we share your
information with others” below).

We update and test security on an ongoing basis and restrict access to your
personal data to only those who need to know in order to provide Foundry’s
products, content or services to you.

STORAGE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may store your personal data using Foundry’s own secure on-site servers or
other internally hosted technology. Your personal data may also be stored by
third parties, via cloud services or other technology, to whom Foundry has
contracted with, to support Foundry’s business operations (see “When and how we
share your information with others” below).

These third parties do not use or have access to your personal data other than
for cloud storage and retrieval, and Foundry requires such parties to employ at
least the same level of security that we use to protect your personal data (see
“Security of your personal data” above).

WHAT WE DO WITH THE PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

We use the personal data that we collect to communicate with you, deliver what
you request, improve our service, and to present other information and offers
that may be of interest.

TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU

We may use your personal data to send you important notices, such as
communications about your registration, transactions, and changes to Foundry’s
terms, conditions, policies, and/or other internal purposes.

TO DELIVER WHAT YOU REQUEST

We may use your personal data to provide the products, content or services you
request. If you enter a sweepstake, contest, or similar Foundry promotion, we
may use your personal data to administer such promotion.

TO IMPROVE OUR SERVICE

We may use your personal data for auditing, data analysis, and research to
improve Foundry’s products, content and services.

TO PRESENT OFFERS THAT MAY BE OF INTEREST TO YOU

We may contact you to offer you additional Foundry or third-party products,
content or services that may be of interest to you.

TO PROVIDE SERVICES SUCH AS THE FOUNDRY INTENT PLATFORM

We may aggregate and thus anonymize your personal data and web history on our
websites and that of our clients to indicate buying intent. We may supplement
this with business information from publicly available sources and other third
parties.

THE LEGAL BASIS WE HAVE FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The GDPR and UK GDPR require data collectors, such as Foundry, to have a legal
basis to use the personal data of EU/EEA/UK/CH residents. Therefore, this
section shall apply to any such personal data collected by Foundry.

Foundry uses the personal data that you provide to supply you with high-quality
products, content and services as you request, to send important notices, and
for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to provide
you with the information you need to make the most informed technology
purchasing decisions.

We may also use your personal data to offer you products, content or services
that may be of interest to you, based upon your interests or the preferences you
shared with us, and may share your personal data with third-party sponsors of
content, events, and other services or offers.

The legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent. In certain
circumstances we may otherwise process your personal data if Foundry has a
legitimate interest in doing so.

WHEN AND HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH OTHERS

Foundry may share your personal data to deliver content and services from our
sites, affiliated companies and third parties services that might interest you,
including sponsored content and events, for business operations, and to comply
with valid legal processes. In particular, we may share your personal data with
our sister company IDC so they may bring to your attention events organized by
them that may be of interest to you in your business capacity. This data will be
processed in accordance with IDC’s Privacy Policy.

If you are an EU/EEA/UK/CH resident, Foundry will normally only share your
personal data with third parties outside of the IDG Communications Publishing
Network, with your consent but where we see that events organised by our sister
company IDC may interest you in your business capacity we may share these
details based on legitimate interest.

Occasionally as part of the Foundry Intent platform, Foundry may share your
contact details with our clients as the assumed business point of contact for
the products or services offered by our clients. In this case your data is
gleaned from publicly available sources and shared on the basis of legitimate
interest.

FOR CONTENT AND SERVICES THAT MAY INTEREST YOU OR THAT YOU REQUEST

As we mention above, your personal data may be shared within the IDG
Communications Publishing Network to provide you with information about
products, content and services that might interest you and for internal
analytical and business development purposes (see “IDG Communications Publishing
Network” above). We may also share your personal data with third parties to
deliver third-party sponsored content or other services that you request (see
“third-party sponsored content and events” below).

FOR BUSINESS OPERATIONS

We may also share your personal data with third parties we have contracted with
to support Foundry’s business operations including delivery, fulfillment,
payment processing, email deployment, suppression list management and data
processing.

FOR THIRD-PARTY SPONSORED CONTENT AND EVENTS

Foundry partners with third-party sponsors to make available a large library of
content to our users, such as white papers, professional events (live or
online), as well as other services or offers. In return for access to such
offers, we may ask you to provide us with personal data as part of the
registration.

We may use your personal data to send you the offer you request. In addition,
your personal data may be shared with the sponsor(s) of the offer to communicate
with you regarding the offer, as well as additional products, content or
services that may be of interest to you. Please note that once your personal
data is shared with the sponsor, the sponsor’s privacy policy, including
information on how to opt-out in the future, will apply to your personal data.

AS REQUIRED BY LAW

Your personal data may be shared when authorized by law or necessary to comply
with a valid legal process.

IN THE EVENT OF NEW OWNERSHIP

If part or all the ownership of Foundry or any of its products or services are
sold or transferred, your personal data will be transferred to the new owner.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

This section shall apply to any personal data collected by Foundry from
EU/EEA/UK/CH residents.

If Foundry shares your personal data within the IDG Communications Publishing
Network or with any other third party as described in this privacy policy and
your personal data will be transferred to a State which is not a Member State of
either the European Union or the EEA, or deemed adequate by the European
Commission, Foundry (asa data controller/data exporter) will only conduct such
transfer (to a data controller/processor/data importer) if there are suitable
safeguards in place, such as binding corporate rules, standard contractual
clauses, approved Codes of Conduct, or approved certification mechanism. For
more information, please contact Foundry’s Data Protection Officer (see contact
details below).

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We retain your personal data for the duration of your business relationship with
us, and we hold your information only as long as necessary for each purpose we
use it, unless we have obtained your consent to use for another or similar
purpose.

YOUR RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES

If you inform us that you want your personal data erased (if you are an
EU/EEA/UK/CH resident), or that you no longer wish for us to communicate with
you for marketing purposes, or to otherwise restrict Foundry’s processing of
your personal data, we may retain some basic information in order to avoid
sending you unwanted materials in the future, and to keep a record of your
request and our response. In some circumstances we may be legally obliged to
retain some or all of your personal data.

CONFIRMING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

This section shall apply to any personal data collected by Foundry from
EU/EEA/UK/CH residents.
