Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how it may be shared, and the choices available to you.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information in the following ways.

Information you provide directly

You may voluntarily provide information when you:

• Leave a comment on an article;
• Contact us by email;
• Submit information through a form, if one is available on the website; or
• Otherwise communicate with TechRecast.

Depending on how you interact with us, this information may include your name, email address, website address, the content of your message or comment, and any other information you voluntarily provide.

Information collected automatically

When you visit TechRecast.com, certain technical information may be collected automatically. This may include:

• IP address;
• Browser type and version;
• Device type;
• Operating system;
• Approximate geographic information derived from technical data;
• Pages visited;
• Date and time of visits;
• Referring website or source;
• Information about how you interact with the website; and
• Other technical information used for website security, performance and analytics.

We use this information primarily to understand how visitors use TechRecast and to improve the website and its content.

2. Comments

TechRecast allows visitors to leave comments on selected articles.

When you submit a comment, we may collect the information entered into the comments form, including your name, email address, website address, comment content, IP address and browser user-agent information.

Your email address is not normally displayed publicly with your comment.

Comments may be reviewed or moderated to prevent spam, abuse, unlawful content or other inappropriate material.

We may use an automated spam-detection service to help identify potentially harmful or unwanted comments.

Once approved, your comment may be publicly visible to other visitors.

Please do not include sensitive personal information, passwords, financial information, telephone numbers, residential addresses or other private information in a public comment.

3. Cookies

TechRecast uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the operation of the website.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that can help websites remember information and understand how visitors use them.

Cookies may be used for purposes including:

• Website functionality;
• Security;
• Comment functionality;
• Remembering certain user preferences;
• Measuring website traffic and performance; and
• Understanding how visitors interact with our content.

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services used by the website.

You can configure your browser to reject or delete cookies. However, disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

4. Google Analytics

TechRecast currently uses Google Analytics to understand website traffic and visitor behaviour.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• Pages viewed;
• Visit duration;
• Approximate location;
• Device and browser information;
• Traffic sources;
• Interaction with website content; and
• Other usage and technical information.

We use Google Analytics to understand audience behaviour, measure website performance, improve our content and improve the overall user experience.

Google may process information collected through Google Analytics in accordance with its own privacy policies and terms.

You can learn more about how Google handles information through Google’s privacy resources.

5. Embedded Content

Articles on TechRecast may include embedded content from third-party websites, such as videos, images, social-media content, documents or other external material.

Embedded content from another website may behave in the same way as if you had visited that third-party website directly.

Those third-party websites may collect information about you, use cookies or similar technologies, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content.

TechRecast does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third-party services before interacting with their content.

6. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through TechRecast to:

• Operate and maintain the website;
• Publish and manage comments;
• Respond to enquiries and communications;
• Detect and prevent spam, abuse and security threats;
• Understand website traffic and audience behaviour;
• Analyse website performance;
• Improve articles, features and user experience;
• Maintain website security;
• Comply with applicable legal obligations; and
• Protect our rights and legitimate interests.

We do not currently operate a newsletter or use a third-party newsletter service.

7. How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Information may be shared with third-party service providers where reasonably necessary to operate, secure, analyse or maintain the website.

These may include:

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers;
• Analytics providers such as Google Analytics;
• Spam-detection or security services;
• Technical service providers; and
• Other service providers necessary to operate the website.

We may also disclose information where required by applicable law, legal process, court order, governmental request, or where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, security or property of TechRecast, our users or others.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Comments and their associated information may be retained for as long as the comment remains published or as otherwise necessary for moderation, security, legal or administrative purposes.

Information relating to enquiries may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry, maintain appropriate records or comply with legal obligations.

Analytics information may be retained according to the settings and retention policies applicable to our analytics service.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, misuse or destruction.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore avoid submitting sensitive personal information through public comments or unsecured communications.

10. Third-Party Websites and Links

TechRecast may contain links to websites operated by third parties.

These links may include links to technology companies, products, services, social-media platforms, research organisations and other external resources.

TechRecast is not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of third-party websites.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website you visit through a link on TechRecast.

11. Advertising, Sponsored Content and Affiliate Links

TechRecast may display advertising or publish sponsored content in the future.

Any sponsored content or paid promotional placement will be identified appropriately so that readers can distinguish commercial content from independent editorial coverage.

If TechRecast subsequently uses advertising networks, affiliate programmes or other third-party advertising technologies, this Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect those services and the information they may collect.

At the time this Privacy Policy was last updated, TechRecast was not using any third-party advertising network or other advertising/tracking service apart from Google Analytics.

12. Children’s Privacy

TechRecast is a general-audience technology publication and is not specifically directed at children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can assess the situation and take appropriate action.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights concerning the personal information we hold about you.

These may include the right to:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate information;
• Request deletion of personal information where applicable;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable; and
• Raise a concern about how your information is handled.

To make a privacy-related request, contact us using the details below.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, services, technology, legal requirements or privacy practices.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the beginning of this page.

We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.
