This document is the Privacy Statement (“Statement”) of Your Audience Limited (“Audience”, “we”, “us” or “our”). In the course of providing our services we necessarily receive private information (referred to in this Statement as Personal Information) and this Statement sets out our policy for how we deal with such information.
To make this Statement easy to understand, we have divided into sections with titles that describe the contents of each section.
This Statement also elaborates the choices you can make about Personal Information we collect and and your rights in relation to that Personal Information.
1. Introduction
At Audience, as a fundamental guiding principle, we respect the privacy of Personal Information and take individual privacy rights very seriously.
The data we collect and use is limited to the purpose for which it is provided and for the limited other purposes specified in this Statement.
To the extent we collect Personal Information, our objective is always focused on servicing the requirements of our business counterparties and in providing them with the benefits associated with the services we offer.
For absolute clarity, Personal Information is any information that can be used to identify you or which can be linked to you. Specifically Personal Information is “Personal Data” as that expression is defined in the Data Protection Act 2018 which brought the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) into English law.
