At London Daily News Ltd, looking after your personal data is incredibly important to us and although we cannot say this will be the most riveting read ever we have tried to make this as short as possible. We want you to be confident that your data is safe and secure with us, and understand how we use it to offer you a better, and above all, honest news service, without compromising your privacy in any way.
What this policy covers
The data controller is London Daily News (referred to in this policy as “we” or “us”). We are committed to doing the right thing when it comes to how we collect, use and protect your personal data. That’s why we’ve developed this privacy and cookies policy (“Policy”), which provides you London Daily News on:
- what information we might collect about you
- how we might use that information
- when we might use your details to contact you
- what information of yours we might share with others
- your choices about the personal information you give us
This Policy sets out how London Daily News Limited (“London Daily News”, “we”, “our” or “us”), use the personal information that we collect and process about you (the “user”, “contributor” or “member”).
It applies to our members including contributors, anyone who signs up to receive marketing communications from us, anyone who visits londondaily.news (the “Site”) and indeed anyone who interacts with any of our services.
Personal information we may collect
London Daily News only collects the data from your interactions with our services to make sure we deliver the best possible experience. Some of this you provide (such as your email address, which we use to track your account or communicate with you). Other information, we collect based on actions you take while using London Daily News, such as what pages you view (including how much of a given page and for how long) and your use of product features (like news read, newsletters, content form, follows, likes, comment). We may use this data to personalise what you see on our services and tailor marketing communications to you.
In order to constantly improve our services we automatically collect information through cookies and other technology including records of your interactions, your Internet Protocol address, your location, information about your device (such as device or browser type), and referral information (how you got to a particular page).
How we use the information
At London Daily News we always strive to improve our services and the information provided enables us to improve, test, promote and personalise the Services. This data also helps us in fighting spam and other forms of abuse and generate aggregate, non-identifying information about how people use the Services.
When you sign up to London Daily News, and authenticate with a third-party service (like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube etc.) we may collect, store, and periodically update information associated with that third-party account, such as your lists of friends or followers. We will never publish something through one of your third-party accounts without your express permission.
Disclosure of Information including Third Parties
London Daily News are all about an honest approach in everything that we do and we will never sell information about you to a third-party.
In some circumstances we may share your account information with third parties, with your consent;
- if the law or a public authority says we must share the personal data;
- if we need to share personal data in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (this includes providing personal data to others for the purposes of preventing fraud and where it will help prevent imminent harm to someone);
- to an organisation we sell or transfer (or enter into negotiations to sell or transfer) any of our businesses or any of our rights or obligations under any agreement, we may have with you to. If the transfer or sale goes ahead, the organisation receiving your personal data can use your personal data in the same way as us; or
to any other successors in title to our business. - During a legal process, if we are going to share your information, we’ll give you notice so you can challenge it, unless we’re prohibited by law or believe doing so may endanger others or cause illegal conduct. We will object to legal requests for information about users of our services that we believe are improper.
How we protect your data
We understand how important it is to keep your information safe and we are strongly committed to making sure it is at all times.
We use the latest technology safeguards and we only authorise access to employees who need it to carry out their job responsibilities. We protect the security of your information while it is being transmitted by encrypting it using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). We enforce physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personal data. We may occasionally ask for proof of identity before we share your personal data with you.
At the same time, whilst we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data, no service can be completely secure. Please note that we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data that you transfer over the internet to us.
The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by companies operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our service providers. We will put in place appropriate protection to make sure your personal data remains adequately protected and is treated in line with this Policy.
