Project Central collects two types of personal data that helps us better understand and enhance the experience of our website users and customers.

We use this data:

  • for the purposes for which it was provided to us, as stated at the point of collection, for example, to provide you with a Project Central publication; register for a Project Central referral program; register for Project Central webinars and/or events; or to create a Project Central Account enabling you to access the product.
  • to operate and manage the website; providing content and other information to you; and communicating and interacting with you via our website.
  • to provide you with the products and services that you may purchase; communicating with you in relation to those purchases and recommending content that may be of interest to you.
  • to manage our communications and IT systems.
  • to identify issues with, and plan improvements to the website.
  • process transactions and send you related information, such as, order confirmations and invoices.
  • to contact you with information about Project Central products, services and events, and other information which may be of interest to you, and
  • to respond to your specific enquiries and comments.

Data We Automatically Collect:

When you use our website we collect the following personal data in order to monitor website usage and website traffic trends:

  • your IP address,
  • the specific webpage(s) you visited,
  • your geographic location (country and city),
  • the browser and the operating system you are using,
  • the date and time of your visit,
  • the referrer (the previous website you were using or whether you came to our website via an email link).

The collection of this data allows us better understand the visitors who use our website, products, and services, including where they come from and what content is of specific interest to them. We use this information to improve the quality and security of our website, products and services. For example, every time you connect to the website we record a log of your visit, such as, the specific webpage(s) you visited and the referrer. This log tells us what your machine has looked at on the website, and which browser your machine used to view the pages. This data is used for statistical purposes, in addition to, helping improve the user experience as you browse the website, and subsequent communications with Project Central. We also use this data to understand which areas of the website are of specific interest, and how many people are visiting the website in total so we can understand which products and services may be of particular interest to you or others. We collect usage details such as time, frequency, duration and pattern of use, features used and the amount of storage used in order to enhance your experience of Project Central and to help us provide you the best possible service. Some of the data may be collected automatically using tracking technologies. Please visit our Cookies Policy for more information about the types of cookies this website uses.

Marketing Communications

In order to enable visitors of our website to see certain pages, when specifically requested by them, we require some contact information, such as name, and e-mail address. The information collected shall be used for the purposes specified when it was collected, to respond to visitors inquiries, and fulfill e-mail messaging programs to notify visitors about new content or services on our website, products and services.

Any information given to us shall be stored and managed the greatest care, and will not be used in ways to which you have not consented. We will not sell, rent, or exchange such personally identifiable information to any other organization or entity. Notwithstanding the above, we may indeed disclose personal information if required to do so by subpoenas, court orders or legal process or when such disclosure is made for establishment or exercise of legal rights or in defending against legal claim, or as otherwise required by law. Our email communications may contain tracking technology that tells us if you opened the email and if you clicked on any of the hyperlinks within the email. This tracking technology helps us to analyze, review and improve the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in the administration and provision of the Project Central website, products and/or services to you as well as our legitimate interest in marketing and promoting Project Central.

If you decide, at any time, that you no longer wish to receive marketing emails from Project Central you can opt-out by using the Unsubscribe link in our marketing emails. Alternatively, you can email us at privacy@projectcentral.com. If you choose to unsubscribe, Project Central will not process your personal data unless legally required to do so. Project Central may need to share your contact information with third parties for the limited purpose of ensuring that you no longer receive marketing communications from them on our behalf.

Data Retention

The personal data you submit to us will only be retained for as long as legally permitted and necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where we have a current legitimate interest to retain it. The retention period depends on the type of the personal data and the purposes of processing. For example, contact information about visitors, such as, mailing list information is kept until a user unsubscribes or requests that we delete that information.

Where we do not have a legitimate interest to process your personal data, or where you have withdrawn your consent. We will either securely destroy, delete or anonymize your personal data, or where this is not possible (for example, your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and segregate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Sharing of Personal Data

Project Central does not, and will not sell or rent your personal data to any third party. However, Project Central does employ third-party service providers (such as, IT service providers) as an essential part of being able to provide our website, products and services to you. For example, facilitating marketing campaigns and events, analyzing data and statistics, and facilitating website improvements. Some third-party service providers may be located outside the European Union or the European Economic Area (EEA). Where a business partner third-party service providers processes data on our behalf they are subject to binding contractual agreements, based on our written instructions and they employ security measures to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal data together with any additional requirements under applicable law.

Additionally, we may share your personal data with any other person with your consent, with law enforcement agencies, legal and regulatory authorities where Project Central is required to comply with a legal obligation or applicable law. Many of our servers and systems are based in the United States meaning personal data will be transferred, stored and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For example, if you complete an online form on our website the contact information will be stored on Project Central servers located in Ireland and the US, and may be shared with some of our third party service providers who are located in countries outside the EEA. Where we transfer personal data to countries outside the EEA, we do so for the sole purpose of providing you with the requested products and/or services. Any non-EEA related transfers of your personal data, will take place in accordance with the relevant international data protection transfer mechanisms and standards.

Security

Project Central takes the security and protection of your personal data seriously. We have implemented reasonable physical, administrative, technical, and organizational security measures to protect all personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction. We acknowledge there is no method of transmitting, or storing personal data that is completely safe. Project Central encourages you to use appropriate safeguards to secure your computers and the information contained on them in order to prevent unauthorized access to your personal Data.
