1. Cook­ies

We use cook­ies to dis­tin­guish users and improve our site. Please look at our Cook­ie Pol­i­cy https://www.raconteur.net/cookie-policy for more cook­ie infor­ma­tion.

5. How We Use What We Collect

We use infor­ma­tion about you to:

• Present site con­tent effec­tive­ly to you.
• Pro­vide infor­ma­tion, prod­ucts and ser­vices that you request, or (with your con­sent) which we think may inter­est you.
• Car­ry out our con­tracts and pro­vide prod­ucts and ser­vices to you.
• Allow you to use our inter­ac­tive ser­vices if you want to.
• Inform you about oth­er goods and ser­vices that might inter­est you

If you are a user, you will only be con­tact­ed if you agree to it.

Please note: We don’t iden­ti­fy indi­vid­u­als to our adver­tis­ers, but we do give them aggre­gate infor­ma­tion to help them reach their tar­get audi­ence, and we may use infor­ma­tion we have col­lect­ed to dis­play adver­tise­ments to that audi­ence.

In addi­tion, if you don’t want us to use your per­son­al data for any of the oth­er rea­sons set out in this sec­tion in 5, you can let us know at any time by con­tact­ing us at privacy@raconteur.net and we will delete your data from our sys­tems. How­ev­er, you acknowl­edge this will lim­it our abil­i­ty to pro­vide the best pos­si­ble ser­vices to you.

In some cas­es, the col­lec­tion of per­son­al data may be a statu­to­ry or con­trac­tu­al require­ment, and we will be lim­it­ed in the ser­vices we can pro­vide you if you don’t pro­vide your per­son­al data in these cas­es.

6. Where We Store Your Data

We may trans­fer your per­son­al data out­side of the UK and EEA.  If we do so, we will make sure that appro­pri­ate safe­guards are in place, for exam­ple by using approved con­trac­tu­al agree­ments, unless cer­tain excep­tions apply, or we are autho­rised to do so. If request­ed, we will pro­vide you with details of the safe­guards that we have imple­ment­ed.

By giv­ing us your per­son­al data, you agree to this arrange­ment.

If we give you a pass­word, you must keep it con­fi­den­tial. Please don’t share it. Although we try to pro­vide pro­tec­tion, we can­not guar­an­tee com­plete secu­ri­ty for your data, and you take the risk that any send­ing of that data turns out to be not secure despite our efforts.

We only keep your per­son­al data for as long as we need to in order to use it as described above in sec­tion 5, and/or for as long as we have your per­mis­sion to keep it. In any event, we will con­duct a reg­u­lar review to ascer­tain whether we need to keep your per­son­al data. Your per­son­al data will be delet­ed if we no longer need it.

7. Disclosing Your Information

We are allowed to dis­close your infor­ma­tion in the fol­low­ing cas­es:

• If we want to sell our busi­ness, or our com­pa­ny, we can dis­close it to the poten­tial buy­er.
• We can dis­close it to oth­er busi­ness­es in our group.
• We can dis­close it if we have a legal oblig­a­tion to do so, or in order to pro­tect oth­er people’s prop­er­ty, safe­ty or rights.
• We can exchange infor­ma­tion with oth­ers to pro­tect against fraud or cred­it risks.

We may con­tract with third par­ties to sup­ply ser­vices to you on our behalf. These may include search engine facil­i­ties, adver­tis­ing and mar­ket­ing. In some cas­es, the third par­ties may require access to some or all of your data. These are the third par­ties that have access to your infor­ma­tion:
