Marathon Ventures Limited, its affiliated brands, and partners are committed to safeguarding your privacy when visiting www.marathonb2b.com, www.reportpub.co, and other Marathon Ventures Limited-branded websites. Please read our policy to see how we use your personal information on our sites and how we aim to keep your online experience safe with us.

Important Definitions

The following important definitions are used in this Privacy Policy. The policy's body defines the rest of the words.

"Content Provider" refers to a third party who owns a white paper, analyst report, or other document and permits Marathon Ventures Limited and its brands to link to or display it on the Sites.

Any individual browsing any page of the Sites is referred to as a "user" or "you."

"Profile Information" refers to information you supply about yourself, such as your name and job title, the name of your firm and the department in which you work, your industry group, country, zip code, phone number, and many industry questions.

The white papers, analyst reports, and other documents available through the Sites and controlled by Content Providers are referred to as "Third Party Content."

Information Gathering and Utilization

When you register on reportpub.co or one of our branded websites to request certain material or purchase services from us, Marathon Ventures Limited collects Profile Information.

You can opt not to disclose information to us, but in order to enjoy the benefits of being a registered member of our site, you must have a filled Profile. At any moment, you can change your account's profile information and/or close your account.

You will be able to change your preferences at any moment if you are a registered member of reportpub.co. Please be aware that we reserve the right to send you other communications connected to your reportpub.co account, such as service notifications, transactional messages, telemarketing calls, administrative messages, and surveys, without providing you with the opportunity to opt out.

GDPR opt-out or don't sell my information.

Because we primarily rely on advertising for revenue, gathering information is critical in order to maintain our services cheap to users. When you register to access a Third-Party Content Creator's content, your Profile Information is shared with them; their use of that information is governed by their privacy policies, and it may be used by the Content Provider for follow-up via phone, email, direct mail, or other customary methods. If you have any queries about how these Content Providers utilise this information, you should contact them directly. Do not request Third Party Content if you do not want this information shared with a Content Provider.

Cookies may be used on our site by some of our business partners, but we do not have access to or control over these cookies.

These technologies are used for the following goals in general:

When you visit a web page on our Site, for example, a cookie is placed on your computer by us, our service providers, or our partners to recognise your browser as you traverse the Internet and to present you with information based on your apparent interests. This information may pertain to our Site and the information contained therein, as well as products and services offered by our partners or providers of products and services listed on our Site.

ADVERTISERS AND SPONSORS' USE AND COLLECTION OF INFORMATION; THIRD-PARTY COOKIES AND TRACKING DEVICES

This site, like many others, employs the usage of little files known as cookies to aid in the customization of your experience.

We collaborate with online advertising providers to present you with the most relevant and informative advertising available. Some of the online ads you see are tailored to the content of the page you're on, others are tailored to registration information you provide, and still others are tailored to predictions about your interests based on your visits to other websites.

These companies may collect and use information about your visits to our site and other websites not owned or operated by Marathon Ventures Limited, as well as other data about your purchases and interests from other online and offline sources, in order to serve you advertisements for goods and services that you might be interested in. We may also share non-personal website usage information about our website visitors with these organisations for the purposes of managing and targeting advertisements and conducting market research. Our third-party advertising providers may employ pixel tags to track some of the pages you visit on our website for these purposes (also called clear GIFs). Our third-party advertisers may place or recognise a unique "cookie" on your computer when providing adverts.

We may display banner ads and other forms of advertising, as well as connections to the websites of affiliate entities, advertisers, and sponsors who are not Marathon Ventures Limited, its parents, affiliates, or subsidiaries. These entities may independently solicit and collect personal information from our visitors, as well as transmit their own cookies and clear GIFs. The information gathered is used to display advertisements for goods and services that may be of interest to visitors to the Website and other interactive media, as well as to track user responses to each advertisement.

We also collaborate with data analytics and online targeting firms. Some of these companies may use anonymous information about your visits to this and other websites (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) to provide data and targeting recommendations based on which we may provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Security

Marathon Ventures Limited takes every step to ensure that user information is kept safe. Users' sensitive information is protected both online and offline when they submit it through reportpub.co or branded websites.

When users enter sensitive information on our registration/order form, such information is secured and safeguarded with SSL encryption software.

While we employ SSL encryption to safeguard sensitive data online, we also do everything we can to keep user information safe offline. In our offices, all user information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is kept secure. Only personnel who require personally identifiable information to execute a specific job (for example, billing clerks or customer service representatives) are given access to it, and only through password-protected screen savers. Additionally, all staff are regularly informed about our security and privacy policies. When new policies are implemented, our staff is informed and/or reminded of the significance we place on privacy and what they can do to protect our customers' data. Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are stored behind a closed cage in a secure environment.

Although Marathon Ventures Limited will make every effort to keep its sites secure, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed.

Changes in Policy Notification

Marathon Ventures Limited is committed to protecting your online privacy. We advise you to revisit our policy from time to time because it may change.

We will use the information in accordance with the privacy policy that was used to acquire it. However, if we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner other than that described at the time it was acquired, we will send an email to users notifying them of the change. Users will be able to choose whether or not to allow us to utilise their information in this new way.

You are visiting our site from a country other than the United Kingdom.

Please be advised that if you access our Site from outside the United Kingdom, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United Kingdom, where our servers are situated and our central database is maintained. Although the data protection and other regulations of the United Kingdom and other countries may not be as thorough as those in your country, Marathon Ventures Limited takes precautions to protect your privacy in accordance with Swedish legislation.
