| 52 | 50 | ## 2\. About this Privacy Notice |
| 53 | 51 | |
| 54 | 52 | This Privacy Notice tells you about the kinds of information we hold about you, what we do with it, and why. |
| 55 | 53 | |
| 113 | 111 | [3.3 Making our sites and apps work properly and understanding how they are used]() |
| 114 | 112 | |
| 115 | 113 | [3.4 Website Notifications (Pop ups)]() |
| 116 | 114 | |
| 117 | 115 | **3.1 Targeting by Reach** |
| 118 | 116 | |
| 119 | We combine the information you give to us (for example, sign up information for newsletters and competitions) with the information we receive when you use our websites and apps, and analyse it in order to help us to understand your preferences and interests. We then associate this with a unique identification number. This is then used to tailor the content and advertising that you see on our websites and in our apps, so it is more likely to be of interest to you. We don't share this personalised analysis with anyone outside Reach. In particular, it is not shared with advertisers or with the third-party advertising networks that we work with other than in highly aggregated form so that your personal data cannot be identified. | |

We don't share this personalised analysis with advertisers or with the third-party advertising networks that we work with other than in highly aggregated form so that your personal data cannot be identified. | |
| 120 | 118 | |
| 121 | 119 | **3.1.1 The data we collect and what we do with it** |
| 122 | 120 | |
| 123 | 121 | The data we use for this purpose is as follows: |
| 124 | 122 | |
| 125 | 123 | - The page you view, and associated information such as how long you spend on them. |
| 128 | 126 | - The newsletters and marketing you have subscribed to, the promotions and competitions you have entered and the surveys you have completed. |
| 129 | 127 | |
| 130 | 128 | We will analyse this information to infer interests, preferences, and demographic characteristics, and associate it with an internal identification number. For example, if our website analytics tell us that you are located in the approximate area of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and you read our online title ChronicleLive (which is focused on local news for that area), and you sign up to receive an email newsletter about football from our national title The Mirror, then we could infer from that you are interested in things related to a local football club or to football generally. |
| 131 | 129 | |
| 132 | 130 | We then divide up our identification numbers into groups based on the inferences we draw about them. Those groups are called "audience segments" or "audiences". So, for example, an identifier associated with Newcastle, ChronicleLive and the football newsletter could be allocated to audiences likely to be interested in football, and events near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. |
| 133 | 131 | |
| 134 | We then use those "audiences" to do two things: first, to help us to recommend content which is more likely to be interesting (for instance, more articles about football), and second to help us to target advertisements when advertisers buy advertising space from us directly. | |
| 132 | We then use those "audiences" to help us to recommend content which is more likely to be interesting (for instance, more articles about football), to tailor marketing communications and to help us to target advertisements when advertisers buy advertising space from us directly. | |
| 135 | 133 | |
| 136 | 134 | The advertiser would never see the actual data that we use - it remains with Reach at all times. All we would share with them would be the criteria we used to target their advert, how many times their advert was shown and how many people clicked on it (but not who), so that they know how well the advert did and we know how much to charge them. |
| 137 | 135 | |
| 138 | We work with partners such as Freestar and Google (Ad Manager) for the purposes of placing advertising on our sites, who will collect and use specific data for advertising purposes. To learn more about Freestar's and Google's data usage, click here: [Freestar](https://freestar.com/privacy-policy/) and [Google (Ad Manager)](https://policies.google.com/privacy) | |

| 138 | We work with partners such as Freestar and Google (Ad Manager) for the purposes of placing advertising on our sites, who will also collect and use specific data for advertising purposes. See [3.2 Targeting by third party advertising networks](). | |
| 139 | ||
| 140 | We also work with a subscription partner, Piano, to help us understand user journeys (e.g. pages our users are visiting the most and which pages lead to the greatest audience conversion), understand how long users spend on our website/app, and to test effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. This audience data is then used to provide a tailored experience on our website/app. To learn more about Piano's data usage, click here: [Piano.](https://piano.io/privacy-policy/) | |
| 141 | ||
| 142 | Please note you have the right to object to profiling for marketing purposes at any time. If you wish to opt-out of having your personal information profiled for personalisation purposes, you can do so via the Privacy setting link on the webpage. | |
| 143 | ||
| 140 | 144 | **3.1.2 Our legal basis** |
| 141 | 145 | |
| 142 | 146 | Your activity on our websites and in our apps can be managed by you using our "cookie banner" and related Consent Management Platform (CMP). The vast majority are used on the basis of your consent where you provide it. Some may use our Legitimate Interest and some are Essential - Please see our [Cookie Notice](https://www.mirror.co.uk/cookie-policy/) for further information or the 'cog' icon or link at the bottom of every webpage to manage your consents. When using our apps, if you want to change the settings, go to the 'My Account' Link at the bottom of the screen which includes 'My Privacy' and takes you to the CMP. |
| 143 | 147 | |
| 144 | 148 | We combine that information with the other things we know about you (like your newsletter subscriptions) on the basis of our legitimate interest in understanding our readership, both to serve you better and to make us more attractive to advertisers. This helps us to secure a future for news reporting and journalism in the age of social media, especially local news reporting and journalism. |
| 145 | 149 | |
| 156 | 160 | **3.1.5 Whether we send it outside the country of collection** |
| 157 | 161 | |
| 158 | 162 | Upland Software and Lotame are global businesses and so the data they host for us may be held outside of the country of collection. We have implemented the required safeguards as necessary (for example, standard agreements and frameworks approved by the relevant authorities). |
| 159 | 163 | |
| 160 | 164 | **3.2 Targeting by third party advertising networks** |
| 161 | 165 | |
| 162 | Digital advertising helps us to fund the news articles and content published on our sites and enables us to provide some of our content for free. We and our third-party ad partners may display digital advertising on our sites that is tailored to your interests and preferences so the online adverts you see are more relevant to you. We work with third party ad networks to fill unsold advertising space on our sites and in our apps by auctioning it automatically through a process called "real time bidding". These ad networks bid to show their ad to you when you visit our sites or use our apps. | |
| 166 | Digital advertising helps us to fund the news articles and content published on our sites and enables us to provide some of our content for free. We and our third-party ad partners may display digital advertising on our sites that is tailored to your interests and preferences, which are inferred from your browsing history, so the online adverts you see are more relevant to you. We work with third party ad networks to fill unsold advertising space on our sites and in our apps by auctioning it automatically through a process called "real time bidding". These ad networks bid to show their ad to you when you visit our sites or use our apps. | |
| 163 | 167 | |
| 164 | 168 | The ad networks exchange information through cookies, which allow them to recognise you when you visit any site that they work with (not just Reach sites). Where we use cookies on our sites for advertising purposes, we collect the appropriate consent, depending on the country you are visiting us from. The cookie information will be used along with other information we hold about you to display digital advertising that is more relevant to you. It is important to note, however, that where you do not provide your consent for digital advertising you will still see digital advertising on our sites, but this will not be tailored to your interests and preferences. |
| 165 | 169 | |
| 166 | 170 | Where you provide consent to using your data to create a profile for digital advertising we may also sell or share limited data types to our partners with whom we have a legally binding relationship for similar purposes; typically data on the page content which you have shown an interest in and online identifiers, not direct identifiers such as your email address. Captify is one such partner. They may act as an independent controller of your data, and their privacy policy is shown here: [Captify Privacy Policy](https://www.captifytechnologies.com/privacy-notice/) |
| 167 | 171 | |
| 172 | We work with partners such as Freestar and Google (Ad Manager) for the purposes of delivering relevant advertising on our sites. They will collect and use specific data for advertising purposes, for example to create interest-based advertising segments or audiences, to allow us to tailor the ads we display. To learn more about Freestar's and Google's data usage, click here: [Freestar](https://freestar.com/privacy-policy/) and [Google (Ad Manager)](https://policies.google.com/privacy). | |
| 173 | ||
| 168 | 174 | **3.2.1 The data collected and how it is used** |
| 169 | 175 | |
| 170 | 176 | On your first visit to one of our sites or apps (and on other occasions to allow you to change your mind), you will be presented with a "cookie banner". This asks you if you consent to the use of cookies and related technologies for the purposes of, amongst other things, selecting and delivering ads. If you do, then the ad networks will be able to recognise your device according to a unique identification number. |
| 171 | 177 | |
| 172 | 178 | We then send out a "bid request" to the advertising networks we work with. What that bid request says is, essentially, "ID number ABC123 has landed on our website, do you want to show this user an advert?" The winner then gets to display their ad. |
| 173 | 179 | |
| 271 | 277 | The technology providers we use are global businesses. The data is located in Ireland with some being routed through AWS outside of the UK and EEA. We have implemented the required safeguards as necessary (for example, standard agreements and frameworks approved by the relevant authorities). |
| 272 | 278 | |
| 273 | 279 | **3.4 Website Notifications (Pop ups)** |
| 274 | 280 | |
| 275 | 281 | We provide news and updates about our sites via push notification messages or 'pop-ups'. This is a free service. Our legal basis is consent, as the notifications are only sent to you if you have clicked on a button to allow it (you may have accidentally selected to receive notifications). |
| 276 | 282 | |
| 283 | When you consent to receiving pop-up browser notifications from one of our websites, we collect the following information: | |
| 284 | ||
| 285 | - the URL of the page you were on when you were subscribed; | |
| 286 | - your country code; | |
| 287 | - your device type; | |
| 288 | - your browser name and version; | |
| 289 | - whether the notification was shown to you; and | |
| 290 | - the topics of the notification you have clicked on or interacted with. | |
| 291 | ||
| 277 | 292 | We have no control over your subscription to notifications as it is controlled by your browser and device. We do not store any recognisable data about you or your device in connection with the push notification service. |
| 278 | 293 | |
| 279 | 294 | If you wish to unsubscribe from receiving notifications please follow the instructions here: [Airship](https://support.airship.com/hc/en-us/articles/4446152158619-How-to-opt-out-from-the-web-notification) and [One Signal](https://documentation.onesignal.com/v9.0/docs/unsubscribe-from-notifications). |
| 280 | 295 | |

| 319 | Some of our sites allow you to log-in to your account quickly by using your existing social media accounts, such as Facebook, X (f/k/a Twitter), Apple or Google. When you choose this option, you are granting permission to such company to share your user information with us. This will include your name and email address plus any other information you have permitted them to share with third parties, and your account will be linked to your social media account. You can ask us to delete your personal data or de-link your account from your social media account by emailing [dataprotection@reachplc.com](mailto:dataprotection@reachplc.com). | |
| 320 | ||
| 304 | 321 | Some services may let you upload your own content to our sites, such as comments or pictures. Those things will, by the nature of the service, be generally visible on the site and may be attributed to user names. Your comments may be used in print, online or on the social pages for brands owned and published by Reach plc. We may also record what types of content you have commented on, and associate this with our profile of you. Please do not provide any personal data which you do not want to be published. Comments will be subject to moderation checks before publication. |
| 305 | 322 | |
| 306 | 323 | We use this information to operate your account and to enable you to log in and use our services; for example, on InYourArea we use your postcode to identify the correct local information to display to you. |
| 307 | 324 | |
| 308 | 325 | You may also be invited during the account creation process to subscribe to one or more of our newsletters, or to opt in to receive certain special marketing offers and promotions. You can read more about that by navigating to the appropriate section of this Privacy Notice via the 'Contents' list. [Click here to go back to 'Contents'](). |
| 309 | 326 | |
| 720 | 737 | When you subscribe to our digital edition titles your subscription is also processed via our provider and this information is retained for as long as you maintain your subscription, and for a period thereafter, in case of disputes or problems. |
| 721 | 738 | |
| 722 | 739 | As part of the subscription process you may be asked if you want to receive other products or services from Reach. Where this is the case you will be asked to consent to each product or service type. Such activities are managed in accordance with the relevant sections elsewhere in this Privacy Notice. |

| 729 | 746 | |
| 730 | In order to be able to offer you this service on our website, we will collect online identifiers such as device type, IP address, language settings, approximate location at the time of browsing, and your logged in user id. This will be used to enable us to verify you as a Privacy Plus subscriber, to technically run the service and for security and anti-fraud purposes. | |
| 747 | A number of our websites also offer a **Premium** subscription which allows readers to support local journalism with limited adverts and exclusive subscriber-only content. | |

We do this on the basis that it is necessary to fulfil the contract agreed with you when you place your ad. |
| 735 | 758 | |
| 736 | 759 | We will retain the contact details of private individuals for up to 6 years from the point of last interaction, and trade contact details for as long as we have a business purpose. We do not store personally identifiable payment card information. |

| 879 | 915 | **12.9 How we work with Group Companies** |
| 880 | 916 | |
| 881 | 917 | Reach receives information from, and shares information with, other companies within the Reach Group to help operate, provide, improve, understand, customise, support, and market our services and their offerings. This includes: |
| 882 | 918 | |
| 883 | 919 | - helping improve infrastructure and delivery systems; |
| 884 | 920 | - understanding how our services or theirs are used; |
| 885 | 921 | - promoting safety, security and integrity across the Reach Group e.g. securing systems and fighting spam, threats, abuse, or infringement activities; |
| 886 | - performing analytics and analysis of how you interact with the group's products and services, to facilitate business efficiencies and develop products and services that would be relevant to you; and | |
| 922 | - performing analytics and analysis of how you interact with the group's products and services, to facilitate business efficiencies, to help us better understand our audiences and deliver relevant content, develop products and services that would be relevant to you; and | |
| 887 | 923 | - sharing information to deliver more relevant advertising from across the Reach Group network. |
| 888 | 924 | |
| 889 | 925 | We also share information to fulfil the service to you for example: |
| 890 | 926 | |
| 891 | 927 | - When you decide to place an advertisement on Marketplace Live, through our Bookanad website, the information that you have provided will be shared with Marketplace Live, so that the publication and administration of your advertisement may be effectively managed. |
| 892 | 928 | - When you elect to place a notice on the InYourArea website, through our Bookanad website, the information that you have provided when creating an account, and a notice, will be shared with InYourArea so that they may manage and administer your online post. |
| 893 | 929 | |
| 894 | In addition, a key way we share data across systems and Group companies is for advertising and targeting purposes. This can be based on your online behaviour on our sites, for example: | |
| 930 | **Audience Analytics and Understanding** | |
| 895 | 931 | |
| 932 | When you consent to our cookies via our CMP, we may use your information (cookie identifiers and usage data) to help us better understand our audiences. This may include linking engagement data across our websites and apps for the following purposes; | |
| 933 | ||
| 934 | - Content improvement, to analyse what content is popular with our audiences so we can prioritise content that matters to our readers. | |
| 935 | - Performance analysis, to assess how our platforms are performing, including traffic levels and audience engagement. | |
| 936 | - Analytics and insights, to ingest the data into our analytics platforms (Engine), which allow our teams to ask questions and gain insights that support better decision making. | |
| 937 | ||
| 938 | **Advertising Relevance and Effectiveness** | |
| 939 | ||
| 940 | Another key way we share data across our websites and apps, is for advertising and targeting purposes. When you consent to cookies via our CMP, we may use your information from your online behaviour across our group sites to deliver adverts that are relevant to your interests and to help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. For example: | |
| 941 | ||
| 896 | 942 | - When you go onto one of our sites we can track your behaviour on those sites, or any of our other sites across our Group companies, and use this to target advertising or email content to you. For example, if you use our ecommerce site yimbly.com, we can see if you later visited one of our other sites and you may see advertising for the products you looked at based on this. If you would prefer to opt out, you can do so via the consent management pop-up. |
| 897 | - This also applies if you open an email from us and this takes you online as we can use the information from your online behaviour to later target marketing to you. So for example if you subscribe to marketing emails on one of our regional news sites and we see you looked at sporting content on our other sites we may provide you with sport related content in your marketing emails from the regional news site. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time. | |
| 943 | - This also applies if you open an email from us and this takes you online as we can use the information from your online behaviour to later target marketing to you. So for example if you subscribe to marketing emails on one of our regional news sites and we see you have looked at sporting content on our other sites we may provide you with sport related content in your marketing emails from the regional news site. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time. | |
| 898 | 944 | - We may also upload emails (in hashed, pseudonymous form) straight to the advertising data system and this enables us to identify the same non-identifiable user across devices. So we know, for example, that the person who looks at Reach lifestyle content on their phone and then Reach fashion content on their desktop, is in fact the same non-identified person. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time. |
| 899 | 945 | - We may also use the other data you have provided to us, combined with your online behaviour, to personalise your email campaigns. For example, if you signed up an account when browsing 'football' content on our news sites, we may classify you as a 'football intender'. Later when you go online we may see you are also interested in content on films and classify you as a 'football and films intender'. As a result you may see advertising content related to football and films, when you visit our sites. |
