Privacy Policy — Executive Speaks

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, email address and message when you contact us, subscribe to our newsletter, or submit a nomination — and information collected automatically, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and referring URLs, gathered through cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use personal data to operate and improve the website, respond to enquiries, deliver newsletters you've subscribed to, measure audience and content performance, serve and measure advertising, and protect the site against abuse and spam.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process data on the basis of your consent (e.g. newsletters), our legitimate interests (e.g. analytics and security), and compliance with legal obligations.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us operate the site (such as hosting, email delivery and analytics providers), with advertising partners in aggregated or pseudonymised form, and where required by law.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymised.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal data, object to or restrict processing, and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

7. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
