Privacy Policy

This policy explains the information Tech Embed may receive through the website, why it is used and the choices available to readers.

This policy should be reviewed whenever the site adds or changes analytics, advertising, hosting, newsletter or payment providers.

Information you provide

Tech Embed may receive information you choose to submit, including an email address for the newsletter and names, email addresses, organisations, countries, subjects and messages sent through contact, correction, contributor, advertising or story-tip forms.

Information collected automatically

The website and its service providers may process technical information such as device and browser details, approximate location derived from an internet address, requested pages, referral information, security events and cookie or similar identifiers. This information can support delivery, security, fraud prevention, analytics and performance measurement.

How information is used

  • To deliver requested features, newsletters and reader services.
  • To review and respond to messages, tips, correction requests and commercial enquiries.
  • To operate, protect, troubleshoot and improve the website.
  • To understand aggregate readership and content performance.
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations and protect rights and safety.

Cookies, analytics and embedded services

WordPress, security and caching tools, analytics services and embedded content may use cookies or similar technologies. A third-party video, social post, map or other embed may receive information according to that provider’s own policy. Browser controls can be used to limit or delete cookies, although some site features may work differently.

Sharing and service providers

Information may be processed by providers that host, secure, analyse, email or otherwise support the website. Tech Embed may also disclose information where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect readers, the publication or others. Tech Embed does not sell readers’ personal information.

Retention and security

Information is kept only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, record-keeping, security, editorial accountability or legal obligations. Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used, but no online system can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

Newsletter messages should include an unsubscribe route. You may also ask about access, correction or deletion of personal information associated with you, subject to legal, security and editorial record-keeping requirements.

Children

Tech Embed is a general-audience publication and is not designed to intentionally collect personal information from children through its public forms.

International processing and updates

Some service providers may process information in countries other than the reader’s own. This policy may be updated when services or legal requirements change. Material changes should be reflected on this page.
