Information we collect
Tech Edition collects personal data when it is provided voluntarily. This may include a name, work email address, company, website, target markets, campaign information, newsletter details, event-related information or other information submitted through forms or correspondence.
The website may also collect technical and usage information automatically, such as IP address, browser and device information, approximate location derived from network information, referral source, pages viewed, interactions and timestamps.
How we use personal data
Personal data is used to operate Tech Edition and provide the service or communication requested. This may include responding to enquiries, managing commercial discussions, sending subscribed updates, administering events or other activities, maintaining site security, measuring content performance and improving the website.
Tech Edition may also use aggregated or anonymised information to understand audience behaviour, editorial performance and site usage where that information no longer identifies an individual.
Newsletters and communications
Where a user subscribes to a newsletter or other update, Tech Edition may use the supplied email address to send the requested communications. Recipients can unsubscribe using the option provided in those messages or through the relevant communication channel.
Submitting a commercial or editorial enquiry does not by itself subscribe the sender to unrelated marketing communications.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
Tech Edition may use cookies, local storage and similar technologies for essential site functions, audience measurement, analytics, performance and advertising. These technologies can help remember preferences, understand how pages are used and measure the effectiveness of content or campaigns.
Where required, non-essential technologies may be subject to user choices or consent. Browser settings can also be used to restrict or remove cookies, although some site functions may then work differently.
Embedded and third-party services
Articles and pages may include services or content provided by third parties, such as video players, maps, social platforms, analytics tools, advertising systems or sharing services. When these services are loaded or used, the third party may process information under its own privacy terms.
Tech Edition does not control the privacy practices of external services and encourages users to review the relevant third-party policies where appropriate.
Service providers and disclosure
Tech Edition does not sell or rent personal data. Information may be shared with service providers that support functions such as hosting, analytics, email delivery, form processing, security, advertising, cloud services or other operational needs. Access should be limited to what is reasonably required for the service being provided.
Personal data may also be disclosed where required by law, regulation, court order or another valid legal process, or where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, security or integrity of Tech Edition and its users.
International transfers
Some service providers or technology systems used by Tech Edition may process or store personal data outside Singapore. Where personal data is transferred overseas, Tech Edition takes reasonable steps to ensure that the transferred data receives a standard of protection comparable to that required under applicable Singapore law.
How long data is kept
Personal data is retained only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate operational requirements, or to meet legal and regulatory obligations.
When personal data is no longer required, Tech Edition takes reasonable steps to delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it appropriately.
Security
Tech Edition uses reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards intended to protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. No website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Access, correction and withdrawal
Subject to applicable law and any permitted exceptions, individuals may ask about personal data held by Tech Edition, request access to or correction of that data, or withdraw consent for a particular use of personal data where consent is the basis for that use.
Tech Edition may need to verify the identity of the requester before acting on a request. Withdrawing consent may affect the ability to provide a service that depends on the relevant information.
Children’s privacy
Tech Edition does not knowingly seek personal data from children through its commercial enquiry or newsletter services. A parent or guardian who believes that a child has provided personal data inappropriately can contact Tech Edition through the contact channels published on the website.
External links
Tech Edition links to websites and services that it does not operate. These external destinations have their own privacy practices and terms, and Tech Edition is not responsible for how they collect or use information.
Policy updates and privacy requests
This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website, technology, legal requirements or business practices change. The current version and its last-updated date will be published on this page.
Privacy-related questions and requests can be submitted through the contact details or enquiry channels made available on the Tech Edition website.
