Moreover, PMN rents sells, shares, and transfers personal information to (i) list buyers who market their goods and services (commonly known as “list rental”); (ii) PMN’s advertising, marketing, and sponsorship clients to market their goods and services; (iii) “data coops”, which are pooled databases containing the customer information of multiple publishers to enable the marketing use of such customer information by participating publishers; and (iv) consumer data suppliers/resellers, data enrichment providers and aggregators, and other entities in the online behavioural advertising ecosystem for purposes of online behavioural advertising, data optimization, lead generation, and other data-driven projects. In all such cases, the personal information may be used by PMN and by such third-party business(es) for their purposes, each according to its policies.

Health, Safety, and Legal Requirements. PMN may access, use, and share with third parties, your personal information for purposes of health, safety, and other matters in the public interest. We may also provide access to your personal information to cooperate with official investigations or legal proceedings brought by or otherwise involving governmental and/or law enforcement officials, as well as private parties, including, for example, in response to subpoenas, search warrants, court orders, or other legal processes.

4. Legal Bases For Processing:

In some circumstances, we require a legal basis on which to collect and use your personal information. Where we need such a legal basis, the different legal bases of processing that we rely on to use your personal information are as follows: 

• where PMN uses your personal information in a way that is necessary to perform a contract to which you are a party or provide you with a service you have requested; 
• where PMN’s use of your personal information is within our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party that we have shared your personal information and we have made sure that, on balance, our or the third party’s interests are not outweighed by your rights concerning that information. We may rely on our legitimate interests for a variety of reasons, including when we and/or the companies within the PMN group of companies use your personal information to improve our products or services, for marketing initiatives, research purposes, and for administrative purposes;
• where PMN believes it is necessary to use your personal information to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation to which we are subject;
• where (in limited circumstances) PMN believes it is necessary to protect an individual’s safety or vital interests; and 
• where PMN has obtained your consent, for example when we collect online identifiers from cookies and other tracking technologies, and when we are required to obtain consent to use your personal information to send you marketing by email or text message. Where we rely on consent to use your personal information you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Please see the “your rights” section of this Privacy Policy for more details. 

5. Retention of Personal Information:

PMN will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the products or services you have requested while taking into account any legal requirements and tax and accounting rules which may require us to retain personal data for certain periods beyond this.

In some circumstances, PMN may anonymise your data (so that it can no longer identify you) for example for research or statistical purposes, in which case PMN may use this information indefinitely.

6. Opt-Out of Marketing; How to Update Your personal information:

• How to Opt-Out of Sharing for Marketing. If you do not wish to have personal information such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, or phone number shared with third parties for their marketing purposes, please contact PMN by e-mail as described at the end of this document. Please note, however, that, for PMN to properly administer its services, PMN may continue to share your personal information with service providers, as described C above (if you object to such sharing, you should not use our services).
• How to Opt-Out of Marketing Messages from PMN. If you do not wish to receive future marketing or other commercial messages from PMN, simply follow the unsubscribe instructions contained within the message you receive. Please note, however, that you may continue to receive certain communications from PMN that are necessary for the product or service you have requested such as renewal notifications, invoices, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative service bulletins.\
• How to Update Your Personal Information. If you have registered or created an account on any part of the product or service, please use the mechanism or contact information on the product or service that allows you to change or update your member preferences, if available, to keep all such personal information accurate and up-to-date. If no such mechanism or the contact information is available on the product or service, contact PMN with your changes by email or as described at the end of this document.

7. Children’s Data:

PMN’s products and/or services, including its Websites, are not intentionally designed for or directed at persons less than 18 years of age. PMN does not knowingly permit any person who is under 18 years of age to register with the services or to provide any other personal information.

PMN considers it the responsibility of parents/ legal guardians to monitor their children’s, and their ward’s (as applicable) use of PMN’s Websites. Should a parent or guardian have reasons to believe that a minor has provided PMN with personal information without their prior consent, please contact PMN at the e-mail address mentioned at the end of this document.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies:

• Tracking Technologies. In addition to the online identifiers described above, PMN may use web beacons, web bugs, internet or pixel tags, clear gifs, digital fingerprinting, and similar technologies (collectively the “Tracking Technologies“) on our Websites, including in PMN’s communications with you, such as within email and text messages and push notifications. PMN and third-party businesses use Tracking Technologies to determine which messages have been opened by recipients.
• Do Not Track (DNT). Your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal to websites and online services that you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what DNT means in this context, and some browsers automatically apply DNT signals by default and therefore do not necessarily reflect PMN’s visitors’ choice as to whether they wish to receive advertisements tailored to their interests. As a result, like many websites and online services, PMN does not alter its practices when the Service receives a DNT signal from a visitor’s browser. To update your cookies and Tracking Technologies preferences please visit the Cookie Preferences link at the bottom of our Websites. 

9. Information Security and International Data Transfers:

• Security Measures. PMN takes reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to, or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of, personal information.
• International Transfers. Following the requirements of applicable law, PMN puts appropriate safeguards in place to protect your personal information when it is transferred to, stored, and processed in a country that does not have similar data protection laws to those of the jurisdiction in which you are based. 

10. Links to other websites

PMN’s Websites may contain links to other websites run by other organisations. This privacy notice applies only to PMN Websites. PMN encourages you to read the privacy statements on any other websites you visit. PMN cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites even if you have accessed them using links from PMN’s websites.

11. Your rights

You may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include your right to know, access, correct, transfer, restrict the processing of, and delete your personal information.
