Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains what information of yours will be collected by The Corporate Affair when you use our online services, how the information will be used, and how you can control the collection, correction and/or deletion of information.

We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this privacy policy. This privacy policy does not apply to information we collect by other means (including offline) or from other sources, such as publicly-available information.

Information we collect

We collect information that you provide to us about yourself, such as your name and e-mail address. If you correspond with us by email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email address and our responses. We may also retain any messages you send through our websites. You may provide us information in user content you post to our website.

We only collect, hold, use and disclose personal information for a lawful purpose that is reasonably necessary or directly related to one or more of our functions or activities or where otherwise required or authorised by law.

Third party services

The Corporate Affair uses Google analytics, WordPress analytics and others to help understand the use of our website. These services may collect the information sent by your browser as part of a website request, including cookies and your IP address, and their use of it is governed by their privacy policy.

How The Corporate Affair uses your information

We use the personal information you submit to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of our websites, as well as to keep you informed of The Corporate Affair’s activities.

By providing The Corporate Affair with your email address, you consent to our using the email address to send you The Corporate Affair related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. You also agree that we may send you notifications of activity on our websites to the email address you give us, in accordance with any applicable privacy settings. We may use your email address to send you other messages, such as newsletters, changes to features of our websites, or other information. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out by advising us to unsubscribe you through the Contact Us page: https://thecorporateaffair.org/contact/

We will be sorry to see you go, but it’s your right.

How we share your information

The Corporate Affair will not rent or sell your personally identifiable information to others.

We may store personal information in locations outside the direct control of The Corporate Affair (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers).

Any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose for posting to our websites, such as user content, becomes available to the public, as controlled by any applicable privacy or website customisation settings. If you remove information that you posted to our websites, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or if other users have copied or saved that information.

Except as otherwise described in this privacy policy, The Corporate Affair will not disclose personal information to any third party unless you give us explicit permission to do so, or unless we are required to do so by law or subpoena, or unless we believe that such action is necessary to

  1. conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities;
  2. enforce this policy, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our site; and
  3. exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of our websites, our users or others.

How we protect your information

The Corporate Affair cares about the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to The Corporate Affair, or guarantee that your information on the service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes to the functionality of third-party providers, such as social networks. The Corporate Affair is not responsible for the functionality or security measures of any third party.

Compromise of personal information

In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, The Corporate Affair will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this privacy policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Your choices about your information

You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through our websites, in which case The Corporate Affair may not be able to provide certain services to you.

If you request for your personal information to be corrected or deleted, The Corporate Affair’s policy is to comply as much as possible. However, some or all of the information may need to be retained for archival, legal or accounting purposes. Furthermore, The Corporate Affair may retain and continue to use indefinitely all information (including user content) contained in your communications to other users or posted to public or semi-public areas of our websites after termination or deactivation of your account.

Children’s privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, The Corporate Affair does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register for our websites.

If you are under 13, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address.

In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at: https://thecorporateaffair.org/contact/

Links to Other Web Sites

We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our website, nor the information or content contained therein.

Notification procedures

It is our policy to provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on our websites, as determined by The Corporate Affair at its sole discretion.

We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this privacy policy.

Changes to our privacy policy

If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our websites to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it. Changes to this privacy policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
