HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal information that we collect is used for the purposes for which you have provided it and might be further used for legitimate purposes only. As an example, if you used our service contact form on our website, we will use the information you provided to respond to your service request, in the first place. We might also use that information to improve the quality of our customer service process, take surveys, or for marketing purposes.
The lawfulness of the processing is one of the main principles related to the processing of your personal information. We apply the following legal processing grounds:
- processing is necessary for performance of a contract or to take steps before entering into a contract;
- processing is necessary for our legitimate interests; for example, to improve the quality of our products and services;
- processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, which we are subject to, or that is otherwise lawful under applicable data protection laws;
- with your given consent.
Depending on how you interact with us and the Service, we may use your personal information for the following purposes:
- Administering our relationship with you and our business. We need your personal information to provide and manage your access to our Services and their use. This processing is necessary for the performance of a contract;

- Providing online communities, such as making chat rooms, forums, message boards, or news groups available to you. This processing is necessary for the performance of a contract and fulfillment of our legitimate interests. Please always keep in mind that any information exposed in these forums is public. We encourage you to be very careful when disclosing personal information in these forums, as this information is made available to other users. Do not expose information that might be treated as confidential or proprietary, or that you do not wish to be publicly available, or that you are prohibited from disclosing in these public forums.

This may include procurement, financial and fiscal management, risk and compliance management, and external reporting, etc. This processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject or that is otherwise lawful under applicable data protection laws or for our legitimate interests.
SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
To be able to provide you the best possible Services and further our business operations, we may share certain information internally or with selected third parties. There might also be a certain statutory or legal obligation that we believe in good faith requires us to disclose your personal information externally. We might share your personal data with such parties as:
- other Price Reporter affiliates or subsidiaries. Information can be shared for providing underpinning technology to support the Services we are delivering;
- our service providers, e.g. for managing or hosting services and/or underpinning technology for the Services we provide;
- our business partners, to the extent you have purchased or expressed interest in, a product or service of such business partner, interacted with them, or otherwise authorized the sharing of your personal information with such business partners;
- subscribing, accrediting or professional organizations, e.g. for providing utilization information to organizations that provide you with access to our Services and/or sharing tracking and redeeming credits for professional accreditation;
- organizations involved in business transfers, e.g. to a purchaser or successor entity in the event of a sale or any other corporate transaction involving some or all of our business;
- other parties, e.g. as needed for an external audit, compliance, risk management, corporate development and/or corporate governance-related matters; or
- governmental authorities and regulators, as required under applicable law.
Every time we share personal information internally or with third parties in other countries, we have proper safeguards in place according to applicable data protection laws, such as the EU Model clauses. As required under applicable law, third parties are required to use appropriate safeguards to protect personal information, and they can only access personal information that is necessary for performing their specific tasks.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your personal information will be kept and processed for as long as it is necessary for the performance of our obligations, and for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which the information is collected, following applicable data protection laws and our data retention policies. When we no longer need your personal information, we will use reasonable best efforts to remove it from our systems and records, or take steps to properly anonymize it, so that you can no longer be identified from it.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We have put in place an internal framework of policies and minimum standards across all our businesses to keep your data safe. In addition, we limit access to personal information by our employees, business partners, service providers, and third-party service providers to a ‘need-to-know’ basis. More specifically and under the law, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures (policies and procedures, IT security, and others) to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of your personal information, and the way it is processed.
WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS
We will honor your rights under applicable laws. To the extent provided under your local data protection laws, including European data protection laws, your rights include the following:
- Right of access (an overview of your personal information): the right to get an overview of your personal information that we keep and process.
- Right to rectification (correct your personal information): if your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, the right to ask us to adjust or complete your personal information.
- Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten): the right to request that we delete your personal information to the extent permitted by applicable law. In certain circumstances, it may not be possible for us to accept your request, for example, when processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, or if processing is necessary for the performance of a contract. In some cases, your personal information is necessary to provide the Services and if you do not provide such information to us, you may then be precluded from accessing and using the Services, or using certain Services features.
- Right to data portability (transfer your personal information): the right to ask us to transfer your personal information directly to you. This applies to certain personal information processed by automated means and with your consent, or based on a contract you have with us. Upon your request, and where technically feasible, we will transfer your personal information to another party of your choice.
- Right to restrict processing: the right to request that we restrict or stop the processing of your personal information held by us for a certain period of time, or for an indefinite period. In certain circumstances, it may not be possible for us to accept your request, for example, when processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, or if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds otherwise.
- Right to object: the right to object to processing of your personal information. The reasons for objection should relate to your particular situation, and be related to processing based on legitimate interest conditions. We will then no longer process personal information, unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons otherwise. In certain circumstances, you have the unconditional right to object; for instance, in the context of direct marketing activities.
- Withdrawal of Consent: the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information at any time; for instance, after you consented to keep you informed about our Services, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
