We're glad you chose to visit the The Nerds World, ("The Nerds World") 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. The Nerds World 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").
This privacy policy describes the information we collect from you and how it may be stored and
processed in the United States of America and across the The Nerds World Publishing
Network as described below.
This website, and associated The Nerds World events and publications provide products,
content, and services for a professional and consumer audience
The Nerds World 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. 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. 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 or if you are an EU resident or California consumer, visit our Member Preferences Center to modify your cookie settings. 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 resident, under the GDPR, this is personal data. Therefore, this privacy policy shall apply to such personal data collected by The Nerds World. Similarly, if you are a California consumer, under the CCPA, to the extent that any cookie can uniquely identify you or the device you, or any other person is using, via an IP address or other online identifier, this is also personal data.
We may collect your personal data when you register to receive any of the products, content or services offered by The Nerds World 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 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.
This website is one of many that The Nerds World and its group of undertakings operates, all of which we collectively refer to as the The Nerds World Publishing Network. Where permitted by law, we may share the personal data we collect about you with another The Nerds World Publishing Network company so that we can provide you with information about products, content and services that might interest you
The Nerds World 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 The Nerds World 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 The Nerds World products, content or services to you.
We may store your personal data using The Nerds World 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 The Nerds World has contracted with, to support
The Nerds World 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 The Nerds World 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).
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 business offers that may be of interest.
We may use your personal data to send you important notices, such as about your registration, transactions, and changes to The Nerds World terms, conditions, policies, and/or other internal purposes.
We may use your personal data to provide the products, content or services you request. If you enter a sweepstake, contest, or similar The Nerds World promotion, we may use your personal data to administer such promotion.
We may use your personal data for auditing, data analysis, and research to improve The Nerds World products, content and services.
We may contact you to offer you additional The Nerds World or third-party products, content or services that may be of interest to you. When we contact you regarding any such business offers, your personal data continues to be held by The Nerds World, unless you specifically indicate that The Nerds World can share it, such as when you tell us you wish to receive a business offer from one of our third-party sponsors.
The GDPR requires data collectors, such as The Nerds World, to have a legal basis to use the personal data of EU residents. Therefore, this section shall apply to any such personal data collected by The Nerds World. The Nerds World 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 business 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 The Nerds World has a legitimate interest in doing so and The Nerds World is not infringing any of your rights and freedoms. When The Nerds World processes your personal data for The Nerds World legitimate interests, The Nerds World will consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection and any other relevant law. Our legitimate business interests do not override your interests. The Nerds World will not use your personal data in circumstances where your rights and freedoms override our legitimate interests, unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law.
The Nerds World 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. If you are an EU resident, The Nerds World will only share your personal data with third parties outside of the The Nerds World Publishing Network, with your consent.
As we mention above, your personal data may be shared within the The Nerds World 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 "The Nerds World 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). As indicated above (see "To present offers that may be of interest to you"), however, your personal data continues to be held by The Nerds World, unless you specifically indicate that The Nerds World can share it with the third-party sponsor.
We may also share your personal data with third parties we have contracted with to support The Nerds World business operations including delivery, fulfillment, payment processing, email deployment, suppression list management and data processing.
The Nerds World 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 business 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 business offer you request. In addition, your personal data may be shared with the third-party sponsor(s) of the offer to communicate with you regarding the offer. 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.
Your personal data may be shared when authorized by law or necessary to comply with a valid legal process.
If part or all the ownership of The Nerds World or any of its products or services are sold or transferred, your personal data will be transferred to the new owner.
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.
