The CEO Channel
Privacy policy
The CEO Channel (“we”, “us”) publishes interviews, insights and opinion for business leaders at theceochannel.com. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the site, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It is written to meet Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA).
The CEO Channel is operated by Nonis Media Network Pte Ltd, Singapore.
1. What we collect
Information you give us
- Newsletter sign-up: your email address.
- Partner with us inquiries: your name, company, job title, email address and the message you send.
- Emails to us: whatever you include when you write to one of our addresses.
Information collected automatically
- Usage information: pages you visit, how long you stay, the link that brought you here, and your device, browser and approximate location (country or city), collected through Google Analytics using cookies or similar technologies.
- Technical information: your IP address and browser details, which our hosting provider and font provider receive whenever a page loads.
We do not ask for, and ask you not to send us, sensitive personal data such as identity numbers, financial details or health information.
2. How we use it
- To send you our newsletter, if you have signed up.
- To reply to your inquiry and discuss partnership or advertising opportunities.
- To understand which stories readers find useful and improve the site.
- To keep the site secure and working properly.
- To meet our legal obligations.
We will not sell your personal data. We will not use it for a purpose you have not agreed to, unless the law allows or requires it.
3. Consent and withdrawing it
By signing up for the newsletter or sending an inquiry, you agree to our use of your data as described here. You can withdraw that consent at any time: use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every newsletter, or email us at the address in section 9. We will act on your request within a reasonable time, and let you know of any consequences, for example that you will stop receiving the newsletter.
4. Who we share it with
We use a small number of service providers to run the site. They handle your data on our behalf and only for the purposes above:
- Mailchimp (Intuit Inc.): stores newsletter subscribers and sends the newsletter.
- Web3Forms: receives Partner with us inquiries and forwards them to us by email.
- Google Analytics (Google LLC): measures how the site is used.
- GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc.): hosts the website.
- Google Fonts (Google LLC): supplies the typefaces the site uses.
Some articles include videos from YouTube or Vimeo and posts from Instagram. When you view these, those services may set their own cookies and collect information under their own privacy policies.
We may also disclose personal data where required by law, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
5. Transfers outside Singapore
Several of the providers above store data outside Singapore, including in the United States. Where we transfer personal data overseas, we take steps to make sure it receives a standard of protection comparable to that required under the PDPA, for example by relying on the providers’ contractual commitments.
6. Cookies
Cookies are small files placed on your device. We use them for analytics (to count visits and see which pages are read) and the embedded services in section 4 may use their own. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, but our visitor statistics will be less complete.
7. How long we keep it
We keep newsletter details until you unsubscribe, inquiry details for as long as needed to deal with the inquiry and any resulting partnership, and analytics data for 14 months. After that we delete or anonymise it, unless the law requires us to keep it longer.
8. Your rights
You may ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and how it has been used or disclosed in the past year. You may also ask us to correct anything that is inaccurate or incomplete. We will respond as soon as reasonably possible, normally within 30 days, and may charge a reasonable fee for access requests, which we will tell you about first.
We protect personal data with reasonable security arrangements, but no method of sending or storing data online is completely secure.
9. Contact us
For questions, requests or complaints about your personal data, contact our Data Protection Officer at hello@theceochannel.com.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
Children: this site is written for business readers and is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect their personal data.
