 1. Introduction

Thank you for your interest in TechTarget, Inc. (“TechTarget”) a leading
publisher for enterprise technology decision making! One of our key missions is
to help business professionals embarking on their research journey to obtain
relevant information to guide their buying decisions and to connect them with
other businesses and professionals that provide those products or services. Our
websites and services appeal to a wide range of business professionals, some of
whom casually visit our websites to learn more about a specific research topic
or our services and others who register to become members of TechTarget and our
growing network of websites (“Websites”). Our members (i) gain access to a wide
range of articles, blogs, newsletters, definitions, surveys, research, videos,
webinars, events and other original, branded, and sponsored premium content and
(ii) benefit from engaging directly with our customers (who we call “Partners”)
through email, phone, and other means, that may provide the products or services
relevant to our member’s professional interests (collectively, our “Premium
Services”). In order for us to provide Premium Services for free, members agree
to receive personalized content, ads, and direct sales and marketing
communications from us and our Partners. 

If you do not want to receive personalized content, ads, and direct sales and
marketing communications from TechTarget and our Partners, please do not become
a member. Importantly, you can choose to unsubscribe from any TechTarget or
individual Partner communication at any time, while continuing to receive free
access to our Premium Services.


 2. What Does this Privacy Policy Cover

This policy is intended to provide you with information about your personal data
as it relates to our Premium Services, our own marketing activities and
outreach, our tracking activities and, importantly, on the types of data we
collect, why we collect it, how we use it, who we may share it with, and how you
can control its use and disclosure. We are deemed a “data controller” as it
relates to any personal data collected in connection with your use of our
Websites. If you use the website of our subsidiary BrightTALK, then they are the
“data controller” and the terms of their privacy policy governs the collection
of your information. For information about where we and our subsidiaries or
affiliates are located and how you may contact us, please refer to the section
entitled “Contact Us” below.


 3. What Information Do We Collect or Receive

We collect your personal data in several different ways. Generally, the personal
data we collect is the type of information typically included on a business
card, including your name, job title, email address, phone number, business name
and address. We may collect other information as well such as the type of
industry you are in, the size of your company, and your job function. We also
collect personal and professional information from third parties which we
combine with your data to enhance and supplement our records, to ensure it
remains accurate, and to help personalize the delivery of our Premium Services.

For example, we may collect your personal data (i) from you when you provide it
to us directly through our Websites or websites hosting our registration form,
through email and telephone communications, and through comments and reviews you
leave on our Websites, (ii) from your activity on our Websites or based on the
content you view or interact with, (iii) from our Partners, (iv) from service
providers, contractors, or other third parties we license it from, (v) from our
business partners or affiliates running co-branded campaigns, registration
pages, or membership initiatives, and (vi) from publicly accessible sources like
corporate websites, business listings, social networking platforms, or other
commercially available sources.

Subject to your consent, where applicable, our Websites may also use cookies,
tracking pixels, transparent or clear GIFs, web beacons, and other similar
technologies to collect or receive information. Additionally, we may use similar
tracking technologies when you read an email, newsletter, or otherwise interact
with content from us and to improve our Premium Services. Consent may not be
required where the technology is necessary to provide a specific functionality
or service that you request. These tracking technologies may include first party
cookies (e.g., those placed by the website being visited) and third-party
cookies (e.g., those placed by a website other than the one being visited). For
more information about how we use these tracking technologies, please refer to
the section entitled “Cookies and Similar Technologies” below.

 4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small data files which are placed on your computer or mobile device
when you visit a website or use an online service. Cookies have many different
functions. In some regions, the use of certain cookies requires your consent and
you will be prompted, through a cookie management platform, to choose to provide
it or not provide it. If you do not provide it, those cookies will not be placed
onto your device or utilized to collect specific information. Some cookie usage
is essential for our Websites to work.

Overall cookies can enable us to identify and authenticate you and remember your
preferences so we can enhance your experience on our Websites. They also help us
serve you ads relevant to your professional interests, to provide aggregated
auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers and customers, to understand
and improve our service, and to know when content has been shown to you. Because
your web browser may request advertisements and beacons directly from third
party ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set third party
cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. Ads served by
us may also set third party cookies. Most browsers are initially set up to
accept cookies, but you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to
indicate when a cookie is being set.

Cookies enable you to take advantage of some of our website features so, if you
decline or delete them, then certain parts of our website and Premium Services
may not work properly. Even if you decline or delete cookies, you will continue
to be served with advertisements; however, they will not be tailored to your
preferences, usage patterns, or professional interests. We use several different
types of cookies on our Websites, including:

Strictly Necessary or Functional Cookies.

 * Necessary cookies facilitate the operation of our Websites. Without the use
   of these cookies, portions of our Websites would not function properly. For
   example, we use these cookies to help us identify which of our visitors have
   previously registered in order to access our Premium Services.

 * Functional cookies are used to remember your preferences on our Websites and
   to authenticate your identity. For example, we use functional cookies to
   manage our cookie consent management platform.

Cookies that require consent in some regions (e.g., the EU/EEA):

 * Performance Cookies. These cookies monitor the performance of our Websites
   and how users interact with them. For example, these cookies collect
   information such as how often users visit our Websites, what pages they visit
   when they do, and what other websites they used prior to coming to our
   Websites. These cookies also provide us with information that allows us to
   improve our Websites and services.

 * Behavioral Advertising Cookies. We may use behavioral advertising cookies in
   order to provide you with advertising which is tailored to your professional
   interests when you visit websites on and off our network. For example, these
   cookies analyze information about your interests and your browsing history
   and provide you with advertisements on and off our network that match these
   interests. Behavioral advertising is a type of advertising that is based upon
   your web browsing activity over a period of time – so it is different than
   advertising you may see when you are looking for something online using a
   search engine or on a website you may be visiting at a particular time. For
   example, you may be doing research on products and services related to data
   center virtualization. If a Partner that provides data center virtualization
   products and services is conducting an advertising campaign with us, then we
   may serve you with an advertisement related to that Partner.

Although our Websites currently do not respond to “do not track” browser
headers, you can limit tracking through third-party programs and by taking the
other steps discussed in this section (including by removing cookies or by
setting your web browser settings to refuse cookies and similar technologies).
Many web browsers operate using different identifiers so you may need to adjust
your settings in each web browser and for each computer or device. Additionally,
if you only delete your cookies, then you may need to remove cookies from your
device after every website visit. You may block cookies entirely by disabling
cookie use in your browser or by setting your browser to ask for your permission
before setting a cookie. The use of online tracking mechanisms by third parties,
including our Partners, when you access their websites, is subject to those
third parties’ privacy policies, and not this policy.

You may remove yourself from the targeted advertising of companies within the
Network Advertising Initiative by opting out here, or of companies participating
in the Digital Advertising Alliance program by opting out here, the Digital
Advertising Alliance of Canada (for Canadian residents) by opting out here, or
the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (for EU residents)
by opting out here.


 5. What is the Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

For residents located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and
Switzerland certain laws and regulations, like the EU General Data Protection
Regulation (“EU GDPR”), the UK GDPR, and other similar laws require data
controllers like TechTarget to identify the lawful basis that applies to and is
relied upon to process the personal data of these residents, including:

“Consent” – If you are a member of TechTarget and receive access to our Premium
Services, we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your
personal data. Your consent may also be obtained by third parties acting on our
behalf including, for example, through affiliated websites, co-branded
campaigns, or other membership initiatives. We also rely on consent for the
purpose of tracking activity (e.g., cookies and other similar tracking
technologies) on our Websites, for us and our Partners to communicate with you
for purposes of direct marketing and sales, and to provide you with relevant
content. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time and we will
cease to process your personal data after your consent is withdrawn. (EU/EEA:
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR).

“Legitimate interest” – If you are website visitor or a prospective customer, we
rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis to process your personal data,
for example, for purposes of business to business sales and marketing of our
products and services. We will not use your personal data where your interests
or fundamental rights and freedoms are overridden by our legitimate interest.
You have the right to object to our processing at any time and we will cease to
process your personal data. (EU/EEA: Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR).

“Performance of Contract” – If we need to process your personal data to comply
with our obligations under a contract with you including, for example, for
purposes of fulfilling our obligations under our Terms of Use to you. (EU/EEA:
Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR).

“Compliance with a legal obligation” – If we need to comply with a legal
obligation to which we are subject including, for example, to secure and
maintain technical and organizational measures to protect the security of your
data, to investigate and report any (suspected) breaches of those technical and
organizational measures, or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations
including, but not limited to, complying with minimum retention periods for
certain types of data. (EU/EEA: Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR).


 6. How is Your Personal Data Used

We use your Personal Data to provide you with relevant content and information
about our products and services, to provide you with the opportunity to connect
with our Partners that may be providing products and services relevant to your
activity and business needs, and to help us operate our business and provide you
our Premium Services. We also use your Personal Data for one or more of the
purposes described below:

 * For direct sales and marketing purposes, including by us and our Partners,
   regarding information about, and invitations for, products, services, and
   events relevant to your professional interests and responsibilities;
 * Create, supplement, and update your member account, to remember your website
   selections and log-in information, and to link your tracking activity (e.g.,
   your purchase-intent history) to your member account;
 * Tailor and personalize your experience in connection with our Premium
   Services;
 * Identify new and emerging content topics and trends and identify market
   sensitivities and relative market interest in specific product categories;
 * Provide you with articles, blogs, newsletters, definitions, surveys,
   research, videos, webinars and other original, branded, and sponsored content
   from us and our Partners;
 * Provide you with information that you request, access, or which may be of

Information for Authorized Agents

Authorized Agents who have the regulatory authority to submit a request may use
our Authorized Agent Portal available here to submit rights requests on behalf
of individuals from whom they have received prior authorization to act on their
behalf.

In order to ensure the security of an individual’s personal data, we ask that
all requests from Authorized Agents be submitted via this method. Evidence of a
signed authorization to act on behalf of the individual that is the subject of
the request, should be submitted as a PDF as part of this process. Authorized
Agents must also attest to their legal authority to submit information on behalf
of each individual they represent. If an Authorized Agent is unable to provide
proof of authorization, their request may be rejected.

Providing missing or inaccurate personal data on behalf of the individual you
are representing may also result in the request being denied, unless that
information is promptly corrected by the Authorized Agent.

Commission or an applicable competent governmental authority with the data
importer. If you are a TechTarget customer, you can access our standard customer

response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national
security or law enforcement requirements.

please visit https://www.jamsadr.com/dpf-dispute-resolution for more information
or to file a complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you.

If your DPF complaint cannot be resolved through the above channels, under
certain conditions, you may invoke binding arbitration for some residual claims
not resolved by other redress mechanisms. For more information regarding your
