If you feel this site is not following its stated information policy or if you have any questions about our privacy policy please contact us through the above postal address, phone number, or e-mail address. 

SCOPE OF THIS POLICY
This privacy policy describes the processing of information provided or collected on the sites and applications where this privacy policy is posted, whether on our digital properties or on applications we make available on third-party sites or platforms.  It also describes the processing of customer information provided to us or collected by us offline such as through our live tradeshow events.  We follow this privacy policy in accordance with applicable law in the places where we operate.  In some cases, we may provide additional data privacy notices specific to certain products, practices, or businesses of Bobit.  Those terms are to be read in conjunction with this policy. 

 Please keep in mind that when you provide information to us on a third-party site or platform (for example, via Bobit’s applications that Bobit utilizes), the information you provide may be separately collected by the third-party site or platform.  The information we collect is covered by this privacy policy, and the information the third-party site or platform collects is subject to the third-party site or platform’s privacy practices.  Privacy choices you have made on the third-party site or platform will not apply to our use of the information we have collected directly through our applications.  Please also keep in mind that our sites and applications may contain links to other sites not owned or controlled by us and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. 

We encourage you to be aware when you leave our sites or applications and to read the privacy policy of other sites that may collect your personal information. 

WHO WE ARE
Our company includes many different operating groups, products and brands.  When you visit, create an account with us, or use sites and applications, your information is controlled by a member of the Bobit group of businesses, products and brands.  This policy lists the practices that we follow. Bobit is a business-to-business (B2B) company providing media services and products to other businesses, and as a result we do not conduct business with individual/personal consumers directly.  

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect information you provide to us, including personally identifiable information, in the course of you using, engaging with, or otherwise interacting with our products, services, events and programs.  Through this interaction you can, among other activities, subscribe to one or more of our products (such as newletters, digital products, or magazines); request information from us or one of our trusted partners; engage in various activities like entering contests or sweepstakes, takes quizzes, downloading one of our white papers, responding to surveys, voting in polls or otherwise expressing an opinion; or participate in one of our online forums, or communities or webinars, as some examples of how you may interact with us. 

We may also collect information about your personal or professional interests, opinions and/or your use of various products, services and programs.  For example, we may ask you to provide your job responsibilities or the industry in which you work to qualify for a free magazine subscription is only one example to illustrate how we may collect information. 

 In some cases you can submit your information about other people.  One example is you might submit a person’s name, company information, and mailing or email address to nominate the person for an industry award. 

In addition to the information, you provide to us directly, we, our partners, advertising networks, advertisers or other third party service providers may also collect non-personally identifiable information when you visit our corporate or branded owned and operated website pages, open our emails, open a survey that comes from us, or engage with any of our other products or services.  This includes such information as type of browser and operating system you are using, your IP address, your device identifiers, your internet service provider, location-based information, and the content you interacted with, viewed, or accessed.  This data may be combined and linked with data from other sources. 

We use Google Analytics remarketing, display network reporting, and analytics demographics and interest reporting.  Visitors can opt-out of Google Analytics for display advertising and customize Google display network ads using the Ads Settings (refer to Google settings preferences and their opt-out options , including (https://www.google.com/ads/preferences).  Visitors may also opt-out of additional data collection via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.  We use Remarketing with Google Analytics to advertise our own products and services via the  Google Display Network.  Third-party vendors, including Google, show our ads on sites across the internet.  We and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies and third-party cookies to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on someone’s past visits to our websites.    

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect two basic types of information – personal information and anonymous information and we may use personal and anonymous information to create a third type of information, aggregate information. In particular, we collect: 

  • Registration information you provide when you create an account, enter a promotion, or link your profile on a third-party site or platform with your registration account, such as your first name and surname, country of residence, address, gender, date of birth, email address, username, and password; 
  • Transaction information you provide when you request information, email us, or purchase, request, or do business with us, such as your postal address, email address(es), telephone number(s); 
  • Information you provide in public forums or comment sections on our sites and applications; 
  • Information sent either one-to-one or within a limited group using any of our message, chat, post, or similar functionality, where we are permitted by applicable law to collect this information; 
  • Information we obtain from a third party, such as a site or platform provider, about use of our applications on third-party platforms or devices; 
  • Location information, including precise or approximate location information provided by a mobile or other device interacting with one of our sites, applications, or in-person conference events, or associated with your IP address or other online or device identifier, where we are permitted by law to process this information; 
  • Activity information about your use, and the use by any person(s) you authorize through your account through the creation of profiles under any of our company-owned and operated applications, sites and applications, or through any third-party applications that we use, such as the content you view or post, how often you use our services, and your preferences; 
  • Usage, viewing, technical, and device data when you visit our websites, use our applications on third-party sites or platforms, or open emails we send, or connect with our wireless Internet access services and other similar technologies, including your browser or device type, unique device identifier, and IP address; 
  • Still or video images captured by cameras or readers on or around any of in-person conferences and events that we operate. 

HOW WE USE COLLECTED INFORMATION
We use the personal information that you provide us to provide products, services, content and programs to you.  For example, as part of a subscription and/or registration agreement, subscribers and registrants may be contacted by us through mail, e-mail, mobile text and/or phone to communicate with them about their subscription and/or registration.  They may be contacted for renewal, re-qualification, surveys, updates concerning their account profile and special offers related to their subscription and/or registration.  You may unsubscribe from our communications (newsletter communications, e-mail communications, etc.) at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email you are no longer interested in.  You can also contact us at one of the contact methods we provide in this policy if you have questions or need assistance to unsubscribe. 

From time to time, we may contact you (or permit selected third parties to contact you) to notify you of special offers or other products, services, programs, or events.  By providing your e-mail address and/or phone number you consent to us contacting you by e-mail or phone. 

The information we collect is also used to improve the content of our web pages, digital products, to customize the content and layout of our print magazines and digital products, and/or to notify visitors about updates to our websites.  We do not share individual contact information about our members with advertisers or third-party vendors unless it’s specified when the information is collected.  We may offer contests, sweepstakes, promotions, events, editorial features or other offerings that are sponsored or co-sponsored by or presented with identified third parties.  By participating in such activities or offerings, your IP address(es) and the personally identifiable information you voluntarily submit may be provided to third parties we trust.  Bobit does not control the third parties’ use of this information.  Generally, we will let you know at the time of collection if a product is sponsored.  If you wish to change your contact preferences with an individual exhibitor/sponsor or offering provider, please follow their own specific unsubscribe request details.  Unsubscribing with Bobit stops Bobit from sharing your information with third parties and from contacting you about issues not related to your subscriptions or offerings you signed up for, but it does not affect any third-parties with whom we have shared your information from contacting you.  Please note that once we share your personal information with another company in the circumstances outlined in this policy, the information received by the other company is controlled by that company and becomes subject to the other company’s privacy practices.   In order for you to unsubscribe from communication from third parties, you must contact the third-party company directly yourself. 

Note that certain information, such as your password and credit card number is never disclosed in any form whatsoever to any outside party.

TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may disclose your personal information to selected third parties outside Bobit for purposes associated with payment processing, the supply of products or services, for website administration or elsewhere when you have consented to such disclosures.  These third parties are contractually bound to use any personal information only to perform the services that Bobit has hired them to provide. 

In addition, we make available sponsored or third-party content, services and/or products, and content provided to us from third parties.  In return for access to this content, we may ask you to provide us with personal information such as name, company, address, e-mail address and/or phone number.  When accessing content sponsored or contributed by a third party, your personal information may be shared with those third parties, and the information will be governed by those third parties’ privacy and data protection policies and practices as well as ours.  Bobit does not bear any responsibility or liability for any actions, practices or policies of such third parties.  If you do not wish to have your information shared with a third party, please do not access any sponsored or third-party content, services or products on Bobit’s owned and operated websites. 

We may also disclose personal information to third parties in, including but not limited to the following circumstances: 

  • In the event we buy or sell any assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such asset. 
  • In the event a currently owned Bobit asset is acquired by a third party, in which case personal data will be transferred to the third party as part of the acquisition. 
  • If we are under duty to disclose or share personal data to comply with any legal obligation or in order to enforce our terms and conditions, or other agreements or to protect the rights, property or safety of Bobit.
  • In some cases, customers and third party vendors that Bobit work with may in some cases use certain automated technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI)-generated technologies to manage communications to their customers, subscribers and contacts, including the use of AI-generated telephone calls, texts and email communicationsAll technology system and business controls, including the management of, and compliance to any federal, state, and local administrative, government or regulatory standards and authorities, is the full responsibility and management of said company that is directly utilizing any form of AI-generated technology (such as Virtual Assistant) to ensure it is being used and managed within the guidelines and rulings of any regulatory standards.  Bobit does not bear any responsibility or liability for any actions, practices, or policies of such customers and other third parties, including any of the technology and system vendors and providers that Bobit may work with.
