How we may contact you

From time to time we may contact you by email or push notification to give you service information.  For example, if your subscription is coming to an end, or your payment method has expired.

If we have your permission, we may also send you newsletters or emails about our events, subscription benefits or offers.

What is our legal basis for processing personal data?

Consent.

We will only use your personal data for advertising and marketing, personalisation of content and services, analytical purposes (such as, understanding who our readers are and how they browse our websites) and to track eCommerce purchases if we have your specific consent to do so.  This includes the use of data provided by you and our partners for profiling purposes in order to generate revenue from you so we can improve our products and services.

If you have given us consent to send you specific newsletters, you can unsubscribe from these at any time by clicking unsubscribe at the bottom of each email, or by logging into your account and managing your email preferences.

Legitimate interests.

The legitimate interest pursued by us to analyse our website traffic in order to maintain the service, for example monitoring successful page loads or error messages.

Performance of a contract

When you purchase a subscription or buy another product or service from us, we will need to process your details in order to supply the item to you (for example, to deliver a product to your home, we would need to use your name and address).

How can you access and update your personal information?

If you are a registered user or subscriber, you can update your personal information by signing in to your account page or through your social network provider. In all other cases, please contact customer services.

You can ask for a copy of the personal information we may hold about you, or for your data to be deleted via customer services.

If you wish to contact us by telephone, our number is +603 8961 6511

How long do we keep your personal information for?

We will keep your information only for as long as it is relevant and useful for the purpose for which it was originally collected.

Please note that if your account appears to have not been used for 12 months, we will try and contact you to check whether it is still in use and/or we will delete it.  Please note that any comments associated with your account will also be deleted.

If you do not read the newsletters that you have subscribed to, we will suppress your name from the relevant list after 6 months.

If you do not complete a social registration the data you entered as part of that registration will be deleted within 24 hours.  Data from any other incomplete registration or subscription attempt will not be stored.

If you purchased a subscription, we will retain your data for at least 12 months after your subscription ends in case there are any outstanding billing or other customer service issues. 

A record of a customer service query is retained for at least three years from the date it was submitted to us.

We retain cookie data and corresponding third party data for 13 months from when it was collected from your device.

We may need to retain your data for a longer period if there is a legal claim or if we are required to so by any regulation.

Who will we share your personal information with?

We reserve the right to disclose your personal information to comply with applicable laws and government or regulatory bodies' lawful requests for information.

Your personal details may be shared with third party organisations we have contracted to provide services to us which include processing data.  For example, to send you the emails you have signed up for. Only companies who can provide adequate safeguards will be used to ensure your data is stored and handled securely. 

We may also have to release information because of a legal requirement on us or pursuant to a court order.

We do not aim our services to children under the age of 13.  We do not allow children under 18 to register an account with us.

Will your data be sent overseas?
