In order to process your requests and orders and other activities, we may have to collect personal information about you. This includes, but is not limited to: your name, address, email address, telephone number, credit/debit card, bank or PayPal information.
In addition, we collect technical information about your device such as what device you are using, as well as information about your visits to and your activity on our websites including the content (and any advertisements) that you view and interact with, the address of the website from which you arrived, the pages you view, the links you click, the length of your internet browsing session, your IP address and the approximate location at the time of browsing.

How will we use the information about you?

Personalisation and advertising
Show Media Ltd may use your information to serve you personalised content, services and communications as well as targeted advertising on our websites, and selected partner websites (e.g. Facebook, Instagram or Twitter). We may do this by matching, combining or linking the different sources of information we hold about you (e.g. linking your contact or subscriber information with your activity across our websites or by linking your activity on our websites across all your devices using your email or social media log-in details) or by creating segments based on various factors such as your age and gender, your device details or your inferred interests. We work with data management platform providers to assist with this process.
We may share some of your information with advertisers, ad servers and ad networks to deliver targeted advertising both on our websites and on selected partner websites, but this will not include any information that directly identifies you. However, by interacting with or viewing an advert, you should be aware that the third party may make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the advert.
These activities may involve the use of cookies and other similar technologies.

Where we have the appropriate permissions, we will use your information to market and advertise products and services from Show Media Ltd and its publications and properties, and occasionally third-party products and services that may be of interest to you including offers, advertisements, competitions or commercial communications by email or our websites or social media channels. You may be contacted directly by Show Media Ltd for these purposes.
