We are committed to maintaining transparent, ethical, and lawful data processing operations. This Privacy Policy details how we handle information acquired through your use of our market intelligence tools, advisory forms, and website interactions.

2. Categories of Data Collected

We process information categorized under the following operational branches:

• Cookie Identifiers: Non-personally identifiable session tokens and configuration choices stored via browser cookies, detailed separately in our Cookie Policy.

3. Legal Bases for Data Processing

In accordance with GDPR Article 6, our processing activities rely on established legal justifications:

• Contractual Performance: Processing required to satisfy business inquiries, configure research briefings, and fulfill commercial contracts.
• Legitimate Interests: Necessary monitoring to safeguard our web infrastructure against malicious DDoS activity, spam generation, and intellectual property scraping.
• Explicit Consent: Where you opt in to receive analytical tracking cookies or targeted industry research updates.

4. Third-Party Data Processors

We strictly limit data dissemination. We never sell or lease user information to commercial data brokers. We engage carefully audited third-party service vendors who adhere to international data transfer requirements:

• Infrastructure Hosting Providers: Secure tier-4 data centers situated within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA).
• Transactional Email Relays: Encrypted SMTP relay providers delivering advisory correspondence and inquiry confirmations.
• Telemetry Processors: Privacy-respecting analytical aggregators that do not construct persistent cross-site behavioral profiles.

5. Your Rights Under GDPR and CCPA

Depending on your jurisdiction of residence, you possess enforceable legal rights regarding your personal records:

• Right of Access & Portability: You may request a complete machine-readable copy of any personal data we hold associated with your email or company profile.
• Right to Rectification: You may demand correction of any inaccurate or incomplete corporate contact details.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to Be Forgotten"): Subject to statutory tax and financial reporting retention mandates, you may request permanent deletion of your data files.
• Right to Object & Restrict Processing: You retain the absolute right to object to commercial marketing communications at any time.
• Non-Discrimination: Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you will never experience degraded pricing or services for exercising privacy rights.

6. Data Retention Protocols

Commercial research correspondence is retained for twenty-four (24) months following the conclusion of active research projects to enable follow-up auditing and client verification. Server telemetry logs are purged on an automated thirty (30) day rolling window.

7. International Data Transfers

When data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or the EEA, we enforce European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs), ensuring recipients maintain data protection standards equivalent to European legal frameworks.
