IMR Media reserves the right, at any time, to modify this Privacy Policy. If we make revisions that change the way we collect, use, or share personal information, we will post those changes in this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we may also notify you by other means prior to the changes taking effect, such as by posting a notice on our Platform or sending you a notification.

We will note the effective date of the latest version of our Privacy Policy at the end of this Privacy Policy.
1. Scope
This Policy applies to IMR Media Platform and provides you with guidance on your rights and obligations in relation to your personal information.
IMR Media’s Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) establishes and communicates the key principles that IMR Media follows in protecting the personal information that we collect. Please note that some privacy rights and obligations may differ in certain locations based on local law, in which case IMR Media will comply with the local legal requirements. To the extent a notice provided at the time of collection from a website or specific product conflicts with this Privacy Policy, such specific notice or supplemental privacy statement will control.
2. Collection of Personal Information
“Personal information” is any information that can be used to identify an individual, and may include things such as your name, physical address, email address, phone number, login information, marketing preferences, company affiliation, geographic location, or payment card information. IMR Media may collect personal information that is necessary for legitimate business purposes, which will be disclosed to you at the time of collection. IMR Media will use this information for the purposes for which it was collected. IMR Media may also collect personal information from trusted third-party sources and engage third parties to collect personal information to assist us.
One of the most common methods of collecting personal information is during the online form submission or registration process, including where a website user is requesting a free trial or a courtesy newsletter, registering for an event, or responding to similar offers such as sample reports, white papers, or further product information.
In some instances, IMR Media and the third parties we engage may automatically collect and aggregate data using cookies, weblogs, web beacons, and other similar applications. This information is used to better understand and improve the usability, performance, and effectiveness of our Platform and to help us tailor content or offers for you. Please read the “Cookies” section below for more information.
3. Purpose and Use of Personal Information
IMR Media may use your personal information for operational, legal, administrative, and other legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law. Some of the ways we may use personal information include:
a. Providing you with requested products or services.
b. Providing you with information regarding similar products or events.
c. Analyzing and monitoring extent of use.
d. Providing customized product and service information.
E. Allowing users to participate voluntarily in mailings or other events.
f. Providing product service updates, information, and alerts.
g. Sending communications, including for marketing or other customer satisfaction purposes.
h. Order processing, and to provide transaction documents.
i. To contact users for information verification purposes.
4. Right to Access and Correct Personal Information
We strive to make sure that our information is reliable, accurate, and up-to-date. While personal information is maintained by IMR Media, you may access your personal information to the extent required by law to review, update, and correct inaccuracies. Upon request made to the contact listed below, we will provide you with reasonable access to the personal information we collect about you. Because personal information-for example, your email address-is required to use the Platform, we retain personal information as long as your account is active. You will have the opportunity to correct, transfer, update, modify, or delete this information by logging into your account and updating your information online. You may also limit the use and disclosure of your information by either unsubscribing from marketing communications or contacting us at the address listed below under the section titled “Contact Information” or by emailing contactus@imrmedia.in. Please note that some information may remain in our records even after you request deletion of your information, to the extent permitted by the Privacy Shield Principles. Additionally, there may be limits to the amount of information we can practically provide. For example, we may limit access to personal information where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to an individual’s privacy or where doing so would violate others’ rights.
5. Sharing Personal Information
IMR Media may disclose personal information to its parent, subsidiary, affiliates, and other related companies. IMR Media may disclose personal information to service providers for the purposes of operating our business, delivering, improving, and customizing our products or services, sending marketing and communications related to our business, payment processing, and for other legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law or otherwise with your consent. Personal information handled by these service providers is subject to their terms of use and privacy policies. Please review the service provider’s terms of use and privacy policies to better understand how they manage your personal information. IMR Media is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives under the Privacy Shield Framework and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. IMR Media complies with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, including the onward transfer liability provisions.
There may also be instances when IMR Media may disclose your personal information without providing you with a choice in order to honour a request that you have made through the products or services; comply with the law or in response to a court order, government request, or other legal process; protect the interests, rights, safety, or property of IMR Media or others; protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or respond to adverse third parties (i.e., adverse parties and their counsel and other agents) in the context of litigation. In addition, if IMR Media sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, you agree that IMR Media may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of that transaction.
In all cases IMR Media requires all unaffiliated third parties to treat personal information as confidential. IMR Media will not provide personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.
If you participate in a discussion forum, chat room, or provide comments related to IMR Media on a social media or other public platform, you should be aware that the information you provide there (i.e., your public profile) will be made broadly available to others, and could be used to contact you, send you unsolicited messages, or for purposes neither IMR Media nor you have control over. Also, please recognize that social media forums and chat rooms not controlled by IMR Media may have additional rules and conditions. IMR Media is not responsible for the personal information or any other information you choose to submit on these forums that are not IMR Media controlled.
The Platform may offer you the ability to share personal information through a social networking site (e.g., Facebook, Twitter), using such site’s integrated tools (e.g., Facebook “Like” button, or Twitter “Tweet” button). The use of such integrated tools enables you to share personal information about yourself with other individuals or the public, depending on the settings that you have established with such social networking site. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and use in connection with such social networking site or a site’s integrated tools, please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these social networking sites.

7. Retention of Personal Information
IMR Media will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. We will retain and use your personal information as necessary to comply with our business requirements, legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our assets, and enforce our agreements.

This means that a third party may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your use of our products and services so that they can provide advertising about our products and services tailored to your interests. This advertising may appear either on our website, or on other sites.

If you submit an application for employment to or are currently an employee of IMR Media, IMR Media is authorized to collect the information in any form it obtains through your application for employment or continued employment with IMR Media, and your submission of employee related documents, including but not limited to the personal information that you submit in connection with your employment or intended employment (collectively “Employee Information”).

We also collect some of this information about your dependents when you provide it to us when you enrol in health and other benefits or provide contact information. By providing personal information about family members or other individuals, you represent that you have their consent to provide this information to us for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy. Employee Information does not include any information that is available to the general public and excludes information generally available on a business card.
IMR Media will collect, use, store and retain, and secure your social security number in accordance with this Privacy Policy. IMR Media will not intentionally communicate or make available, in any manner, your social security number to the general public. IMR Media will not print your social security number on any card required for you to access colleague member services provided by IMR Media. IMR Media will not require you to transmit your social security number over the Internet, unless the connection is secure or the social security number is encrypted. IMR Media will not print your social security number on any materials that are mailed to you, unless state or federal law requires or permits the social security number to be on the document to be mailed.
In accordance with applicable law, IMR Media may use Employee Information to evaluate applications for employment, manage work-related aspects of the employee-employer relationship (i.e., training, payroll, benefits, travel, reimbursement expenses, performance appraisals, succession planning, team member health and safety), investigate and respond to any claims related to your employment, and comply with applicable laws and regulations. Your Employee Information will not be used for direct marketing purposes by us or any third party service provider, unless you specifically consent to such use.
IMR Media shares your Employee Information with third parties who provide outsourced human resource functions to us. Those third parties are required to protect your Employee Information. IMR Media may disclose your Employee Information if required or permitted to do so by law (such as when part of a governmental agency action or litigation), governmental or quasi-governmental requests, or a regulatory organization, or to relevant third parties such as site technicians, brokers, auditors, lawyers, or professional advisors. In the event that IMR Media considers it necessary or where required by law to disclose Employee Information in certain situations where the health, safety, or wellbeing of a team member is at imminent risk, we may share your Employee Information with our outside lawyers, law enforcement or others who are legally authorized. As IMR Media continues to develop our business, we may buy or sell assets. In the unlikely event that IMR Media or substantially all of our assets are acquired, Employee Information may be one of the transferred assets.
Employee Information may be stored in hard copy or electronic format within your branch office or in the cloud in the United States or other countries where IMR Media, its affiliates, agents, or contractors conduct business. Your Employee Information may be transferred into our human resources systems and used to manage your employment, may become part of your personnel file, and may be used for other work-related purposes.
