Who We Are
Prism Review is a digital publication delivering intelligence for leaders across business strategy, technology, policy, health, culture, finance, human performance, and global change. In this Privacy Policy, “Prism Review,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the publication responsible for the personal information processed through the Prism Review website, newsletters, and related online services (collectively, the “Site”).
Scope
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we may collect, how we use and disclose it, how long we retain it, and the choices and rights that may be available to you. It applies when you visit the Site, subscribe to a newsletter, submit a form, communicate with us, create an account or comment where those features are enabled, or otherwise interact with Prism Review online.
This policy does not govern third-party websites or services that we do not control. Information collected for journalistic or editorial purposes may also be subject to legal rules and exemptions that differ from those governing ordinary website and subscriber information.
Information We Collect
Information you provide directly may include your name, email address, subscription preferences, account details, the contents of a message, news tip, correction request, contributor inquiry, survey response, comment, or other material you choose to submit.
When you use the Site, we or our service providers may automatically receive technical and usage information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, language, referring page, pages viewed, links selected, approximate location, dates and times of access, cookie or similar identifiers, and information used to maintain security and detect abuse.
If comments, user accounts, or uploads are enabled, we may collect the information shown in the relevant form, associated metadata, and information needed for authentication, moderation, or spam detection. Public comments and profile images may be visible to other visitors. Uploaded images may contain embedded location data, so contributors should remove unnecessary EXIF GPS information before uploading.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies. Essential technologies support security, page delivery, authentication, and core functions. Preference technologies remember choices. Analytics technologies help us understand readership and performance. Advertising technologies, if enabled, may measure campaigns or personalize advertising. Where required, non-essential technologies will be used with consent or made subject to available preference controls.
You can adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies, although some Site functions may not work properly. Where the Site provides a cookie banner or privacy preference tool, you can use it to update your choices.
Analytics and Search Tools
Prism Review may use Google Analytics, Google Search Console, or comparable services to understand how visitors use the Site, monitor search visibility, improve content, and maintain performance. Depending on the tools enabled and your choices, these services may receive device, browser, usage, referral, approximate location, and cookie information. Search Console generally provides aggregated information about performance in Google Search.
Advertising
The Site may display advertising served by Google AdSense or other advertising partners. If advertising is enabled, providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver or measure ads and, where permitted, personalize them based on activity across websites or services.
Prism Review does not sell personal information submitted through contact, correction, news-tip, or newsletter forms for money. Some privacy laws may nevertheless define certain advertising-related disclosures as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising. Where those laws apply, eligible users may use available Site controls or contact us to exercise an opt-out right. If our Site is required to recognize a legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, we will process it as required by applicable law.
Embedded Content and Third-Party Services
Articles may contain videos, images, social media posts, maps, or other content embedded from third-party websites. Interacting with embedded content may allow the third party to collect information, set cookies, or monitor the interaction as though you had visited that service directly.
Depending on the features enabled, service providers may include analytics and search providers, advertising networks, email and newsletter platforms, hosting and content-delivery providers, spam and security services, video or social platforms, and services such as Gravatar. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy notices when acting independently.
How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to operate, secure, and improve the Site; deliver newsletters and requested services; manage subscriptions, accounts, comments, and preferences; respond to inquiries, news tips, corrections, and contributor communications; conduct audience and performance analysis; display and measure advertising where enabled; prevent spam, fraud, and misuse; maintain appropriate editorial and business records; enforce our terms; and comply with legal obligations.
Legal Bases and Consent
Where a legal basis is required, we may process personal information with your consent; to provide a service or take steps you request; for our legitimate interests in operating, securing, improving, and understanding the Site and communicating with readers, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights; or to comply with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time for future processing, subject to legal or contractual limits.
How We Share Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to service providers that support hosting, security, email delivery, analytics, advertising, content delivery, moderation, spam detection, and other Site operations; to third parties whose content or tools you choose to use; when you direct or consent to a disclosure; when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or the integrity of the Site; in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, or transfer of assets; or when required or permitted by law.
Service providers are expected to use personal information only for authorized purposes and to protect it appropriately. Public submissions, including approved comments where enabled, are shared publicly by their nature.
International Data Transfers
Prism Review and its service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live. Those countries may have different privacy laws, and lawful authorities may be able to access information. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
How Long We Retain Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide services, maintain editorial or communication records, resolve disputes, protect security, and meet legal obligations. Retention periods vary by information type and context.
Newsletter information is generally kept until you unsubscribe, after which limited suppression information may be retained to respect your choice. Contact, correction, and news-tip records are kept as appropriate for the request and related obligations. Account and comment information, where enabled, may remain until the account or content is deleted, subject to legitimate administrative, legal, editorial, or security needs.
Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you; obtain information about its sources, purposes, use, and disclosure; correct inaccurate or incomplete information; request deletion; receive a portable copy; withdraw consent; object to or restrict certain processing; opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or direct marketing; and complain to an appropriate privacy regulator.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Rights are subject to legal exceptions, and we may retain information where required or permitted for legal, security, administrative, or journalistic purposes. Where applicable, you may use an authorized agent, appeal a decision, and exercise rights without unlawful discrimination.
To submit a privacy request, use the contact information provided on the Site and describe the request clearly. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.
Email and Newsletter Choices
You can unsubscribe from marketing or editorial newsletters by using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting us. We may still send non-promotional messages needed to respond to a request, administer an account, confirm a preference, or provide important service or policy information.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for a general professional and adult audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, please contact us so we can review and address the situation.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, services, or legal obligations. The revised policy will be posted on the Site with an updated effective date. Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent for material changes.
