To deliver Ochre Media WebGroup’s Offerings and personalize your experience: Ochre Media WebGroup uses information about you to provide our Offerings to you, including to process transactions with you, authenticate you when you log in, provide support, and operate and maintain our Offerings and Websites. Our Offerings also include tailored features that personalize your experience, enhance your productivity, and enable you to find content that is most relevant for you.

Where you may engage with multiple Ochre Media WebGroupservices, we combine information about you and your activities to provide an integrated experience, such as to allow you to find information from one Website while searching from another or to present relevant product information as you travel across our websites.
For research and development: We are always looking for ways to make our services smarter, faster, integrated, more secure, and useful to you. We use collective learnings about how people use us to troubleshoot and to identify trends, usage, activity patterns and areas for integration and enhancement of our services. In some cases, we apply these learnings across our services to improve and develop similar features or to better integrate our services you use. We also test and analyze certain new features with small groups of users before rolling the feature out.
To communicate with you about our Services: We use your contact information to send communications via e-mail and through other mediums such as social media. We may send you e-mail blasts, newsletters, industry updates, marketing for events and trade shows, and may also send you targeted advertisements. We also provide tailored communications based on your activity and interactions with Ochre Media WebGroup. Opt-out mechanisms are made available to you in the footer of our e-mail communications and through our privacy policies, you will find those mechanisms within the communication itself or in the communication preferences center.
To market, promote and drive engagement with our Services: We use your contact information and information about how you use our services to send promotional communications that may be of specific interest to you, including by e-mail and by displaying advertisements of Ochre Media WebGroup’s services and events, as well as on social media platforms. These communications are aimed at driving industry engagement and maximizing the value that you receive from Ochre Media WebGroup’s services, including information about industry developments, survey requests, newsletters, and events we think may be of interest to you. We also communicate with you about new product offerings, promotions and contests. You can control whether you receive these communications as described below under "Opt-out of communications."
To protect our legitimate business interests and legal rights: Where required by law or where we believe it is necessary to protect our legal rights, interests and the interests of others, we use information about you in connection with legal claims, compliance, regulatory, and audit functions, and disclosures in connection with the acquisition, merger, sale, or management of a business.
With your consent: We use information about you where you have given Ochre Media WebGroup consent to do so for a specific purpose not listed above. For example, we may publish testimonials or featured stories to promote our services, with your express permission.

If you have consented to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. Where we are using your information because we or a third party (e.g. a vendor or industry partner) have a legitimate interest to do so, you have the right to object to that use though, in some cases, this may result in you no longer using Ochre Media WebGroup’s services.
Validity of Consent: Where you have specifically opted in to our websites, newsletters, subscription publications, sponsored content, webinars, or otherwise have directly provided your consent for Ochre Media WebGroup to use and store your data, your consent has a validity for the duration of your membership, or a period of three years for non-members, unless expressly revoked by you as described in the “Request that we stop using your information” section below, provided the data holder resides in a geographic area that is governed by an applicable data privacy or protection law. Your consent is time-stamped when it is provided and the validity period is measured based on that date. After the three-year period has passed, Ochre Media WebGroup will seek your consent again the next time you visit our websites or view our sponsored content, again, provided the data holder resides in a geographic area that is governed by an applicable data privacy or protection law.
While we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is 100% safe from intrusion by others.

We also retain some of your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, to support business operations, and to continue to develop and improve our services. Where we retain information for business operations, we take steps to eliminate information that directly identifies you, and we only use the information to uncover collective insights about the use of our services, not to specifically analyze personal characteristics about you.
Marketing information: If you have elected to receive communications from Ochre Media WebGroup, we retain information about your communication preferences in perpetuity in order to properly honor all unsubscribe requests we receive.
