Datum Media Publications Ltd. respects your privacy and handles personal data with integrity and restraint. This privacy policy explains what information we collect through Datum Design Journal, how we use it, and how your rights are protected.
The data controller responsible for the processing of personal data on Datum Design Journal is Datum Media Publications Ltd. You can contact our designated privacy representative by email or post to ask questions about our data practices or to submit statutory data protection requests.
Processing of personal data adheres to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant legal frameworks operating within Ireland. In instances of textual divergence between this statement and governing statutory provisions, the statute supersedes.
We collect personal details that you voluntarily submit through our editorial contact forms, such as your name, email address, and message contents. Our web servers automatically log network data, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, and access timestamps, while our aggregated analytics tools record basic page engagement metrics.
We process server logs to protect platform security, diagnose server issues, and defend against malicious cyber activity under the legal basis of legitimate interest. We handle messages submitted via our contact forms under our legitimate interest to answer editorial inquiries, while non-essential analytics tracking is deployed only on the basis of your explicit consent.
Server log files are automatically purged on a rolling schedule after thirty days unless retained temporarily to investigate a security breach. Contact form correspondence is kept for up to two years to maintain editorial communication records, after which all associated messages and contact entries are deleted permanently.
Datum Media Publications Ltd. engages trusted web hosting providers, content delivery networks, and analytics suppliers to deliver website content efficiently. These service vendors process information strictly on our instructions under binding data processing agreements and are barred from using your information for their own commercial advertising.
Depending on your location, applicable data protection laws grant you the right to request access to, correction of, or erasure of your personal data held by us. You may also object to processing, request restriction of your records, withdraw consent at any time, or lodge a formal complaint with your relevant national data protection authority.
