Introduction

Business Times Hub, along with our affiliated companies, brings content to you through our Website and email delivery. As a marketing and data company, we also help advertisers reach targeted audiences using information we collect about consumers. Our advertising services span online platforms, in-app environments, email, phone-based marketing, and additional channels. The data we collect about individuals may be shared with third parties and sold as part of our business operations. We additionally provide cross-context behavioral advertising, which means we track and use your behavior across different websites and apps to deliver relevant ads.

The personal information we collect when you visit Business Times Hub—including information you actively provide and information we gather about you—is addressed in this privacy policy. We describe our collection, use, storage, and disclosure practices here. Please refer to our terms of service for more information about our website.

Carefully review this policy to understand our personal information policies and practices. If you object to our policies and practices, you should not use our website or subscribe to our email list. By accessing this website, using our services, or otherwise interacting with what we offer, you accept and agree to this privacy policy.

Applicability And Third-Party Websites And Services:

This Privacy Policy only governs the collection, processing and storing of personal information supplied to this website; it does not govern the collection, processing or storing of personal information by any third party. This Privacy Policy does not govern and is not applicable to any third party or any website that may be linked from Business Times Hub, or from our newsletters. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any websites you access through links from Business Times Hub.

Personal Information Collection Methods:

This website gathers information you submit directly, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any information provided via an inquiry form. The information collected may be supplemented with data obtained from affiliates, data brokers, and marketing or advertising partners. Some of these third parties are organizations that have obtained your personal information from their own services. Information is also automatically collected using cookies and other tracking technologies to support analytics and advertising activities. See below for more information.

Categories of Personal Data We Collect:

“Personal information” means any information processed by the Company, regardless of medium, that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with a specific consumer or household, either directly or indirectly.

Subscription to the Business Times Hub requires the submission of certain personal information, such as your name, date of birth, street address, e-mail address, and phone number. We also collect information via cookies and similar technologies, including IP address, imprecise geolocation (inferred from your IP address), device identifiers, timestamps, browsing patterns, and click-through interactions. We may obtain additional advertising-related information from data brokers or public databases, including demographic data, interests, prior locations, or purchase history. Information about your privacy rights is provided below.

California law mandates disclosure of the types of personal information collected during the last year. Accordingly, in the past twelve (12) months, we have collected identifiers; personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records Statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)); protected characteristics under California or U.S. federal law; internet or similar network activity information; commercial information; professional or employment-related information; imprecise geolocation data; and inferences derived from other personal information. This information is sold and shared with our affiliated companies and third-party partners for marketing and advertising purposes. You have the right to opt out of such sale or sharing at any time by visiting here or calling 855-959-2546.

Sensitive Information Practices

Sensitive Personal Information—such as data related to race or ethnicity, religion, precise geolocation, LGBTQ+ status, health conditions, financial account data, or citizenship—is not directly collected by us. We may, however, collect information automatically through technologies like cookies regarding your interactions with web pages, which could suggest interest in sensitive subject matter or group affiliation. For instance, visiting pages focused on certain ethnic groups or health topics may imply such interest. We do not make these inferences ourselves, but our affiliated companies or other third parties with whom we share personal information may do so. If state or local laws require consent, sensitive inferences will not be made. We do not collect or use personal information about children under 18.

How We Use the Personal Information We Collect

We may use the information we collect in the following ways:

1. To send you our newsletter, if you request it.
2. To send you content or marketing messages about products and services, either by email or other means of communication.
3. To carry out legal obligations, enforce our legal rights, or protect the rights of vital interests of any person.
4. To notify you about changes to our website or services.
5. Third parties may receive information from us which they use to market their products and/or services. This may constitute cross context behavioral advertising.

If you do not want us to share your Personal Information with third parties for marketing purposes related to their products and/or services, you may opt-out here.

6. To estimate our audience size and usage patterns, store information about your preferences to customize our Website or newsletter to your interests, and recognize you when you return to our Website.
7. In any other way that we describe when you provide your information to us; or for any other purpose with your additional consent provided at that time.

Sharing of Personal Information

We sell or share personal information with companies who pay us and with our affiliated companies for use in marketing, including cross context behavioral advertising. We also share personal information with contracted service providers, for advertising, web hosting, fraud detection, analytics, information security, or similar services. When we share data, we put contracts in place with the recipients of our data to ensure appropriate data security measures and compliance with laws. We also share personal information where we are required by law (for example, in response to a warrant or court order), or to protect the health, safety, or rights of any person.

We may disclose personal information to appropriate authorities or third parties where required by law or legal process, including disclosures to law enforcement, courts, regulators, or governmental bodies, as well as to protect the rights, freedoms, or safety of individuals or to enforce our contractual terms, including collection-related matters. Personal information may also be transferred to a successor or purchaser as part of a business sale, merger, bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding.

Personal information may be shared with third parties where you have consented to such sharing, including for purposes presented to you when you submit the information or set out in this privacy policy.

Targeted Ads and Analytics Services

We share personal information collected at and through this website with other companies who may show you advertisements on this or other sites, and for related analysis and reporting purposes. These companies (some of whom may be classified as data brokers) use cookies, pixels, and related technologies to collect information from your browser about certain websites you visit and the advertisements displayed to you or that you click on. We (or they) may combine this with personal information from other sources (including data brokers) and share it with third parties for marketing and advertising purposes (this is also known as “cross-context behavioral advertising” under California law). We (and some of the third parties described in this section) collect your IP address, date and time of your visit to the website and your actions here, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the browser type and version you use to visit. This information may be combined with personal information from other sources as described above and used to display advertisements from us or from others through email, apps, websites, social media, direct mail, connected TV, or by other channels. We also use personal information to understand how users interact with this site and the advertising we display in order to understand and improve the user experience.

Cookies and Personalized Advertising

We use cookies and other similar technologies to: (1) operate this site, (2) perform analytics and tracking to understand and continuously improve the user experience, (3) select and deliver personalized content and advertisements, and (4) monitor your response to advertisements and other communications. Cookies are small computer files containing a unique ID that our server sends to your browser. Cookies enable us to recognize your browser when you visit this or certain other websites. We do not track every site you view on the Internet. You can limit, block, or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you use a browser-based “do not track” setting, this may result in an “opt-out cookie” to be set on your browser, which blocks additional data collection. If you later delete this opt-out cookie, automated data collection may resume.

To support Website functionality and analytics, we rely on automated data collection technologies such as cookies, Flash cookies, and web beacons. Cookies are small files stored on your device that allow our Website to operate efficiently. You may block cookies through your browser settings, although this may limit your ability to access certain Website features.

Some Website functions also rely on Flash cookies, which store information related to user preferences and navigation. These cookies are managed through Adobe Flash settings rather than browser controls.

Additionally, our Website and communications may include web beacons or pixels that help us understand how users interact with content, track email engagement, ensure system integrity, and gather Website performance data.

Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track Signals

We honor Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signals and other universal opt-out signals as valid opt-out requests for the sale and sharing of personal information. Upon detecting such a signal from your browser or device, we will process the opt-out automatically on your behalf. We do not seek to monitor every website you visit online. As described above, you may manage or remove certain cookies at any time through your browser settings. If you choose to opt out or enable a browser-based “Do Not Track” signal, including the GPC, an opt-out cookie will be placed on your browser to limit certain data collection activities. If that opt-out cookie is removed or your GPC settings are changed, automated data collection may resume.
