Privacy Policy

Who we are

Magniere is an independent business publication operating the website at magniere.com. In this policy, "Magniere", "we", and "us" refer to the publisher of that website, who acts as the data controller for personal data collected through it.

For any question about this policy or about your personal data, contact us at [email protected].

What we collect

We keep data collection deliberately minimal. In practice that means:

• Your email address, if and only if you choose to enter it into a newsletter signup form on this site.
• Any information you send us directly, such as the content of an email you write to us, including your name and address details if you include them.
• Basic technical data that your browser sends automatically when you load a page, such as your IP address, browser type, and the page requested. This is processed by our hosting provider as part of serving and securing the site.

We do not ask for your name, your date of birth, your location, or your payment details in order to read Magniere. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 16.

Why we use it, and on what basis

• To send you The Magniere Brief. If you subscribe, we use your email address to send you the newsletter. The legal basis is your consent, which you give by submitting the form and can withdraw at any time.
• To reply to you. If you write to us, we use your details to respond. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering correspondence.
• To keep the site running and secure. Technical data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functioning, reasonably protected website.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not rent, trade, or share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Who else touches your data

We use a small number of service providers to run the site and send email. These providers process data on our instructions and only for the purposes described above. They include our website hosting and page builder provider, and our email delivery provider.

Some of these providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, the transfer is covered by the safeguards permitted under applicable data protection law, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

We may also disclose personal data where we are legally required to do so, for example in response to a valid order from a competent authority.

How long we keep it

If you subscribe to the newsletter, we keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. If you unsubscribe, we may retain a minimal record of the unsubscribe itself so that we do not accidentally email you again.

Correspondence is kept for as long as needed to deal with the matter and a reasonable period afterwards. Technical logs are kept for a short period by our hosting provider.

Cookies

Magniere does not use advertising cookies and does not run third-party advertising or cross-site tracking. Your browser may store cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function, set by our hosting and page builder provider. If we ever introduce analytics or any non-essential cookie, we will ask for your consent first and update this policy.

Your rights

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to:

• Ask what personal data we hold about you, and get a copy of it.
• Have inaccurate data corrected.
• Have your data deleted.
• Restrict or object to how we process it.
• Receive your data in a portable format.
• Withdraw your consent at any time, which does not affect processing carried out before you withdrew it.

To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. We will respond within one month. Every newsletter also contains a one-click unsubscribe link, which is the fastest route if that is all you want.

If you think we have handled your data badly, you are entitled to complain to your national data protection authority. In the Netherlands this is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Editorial content and personal data

Magniere publishes profiles of public figures using information that is already public: interviews they have given, talks they have delivered, published filings, and their own published material. This journalistic processing is carried out in reliance on the exemptions that data protection law provides for processing for journalistic purposes.

If you are the subject of a piece and believe it contains a factual error, write to us through the contact page and we will review it.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle personal data, we will update this page and change the date at the top. If the change is significant and you are a subscriber, we will tell you by email.
