Who we are
Workspace & Cloud Brief is published by The Cloud Brief, Pune, India ("we"). We are the controller of the personal data described here. Contact: amit@thecloudbrief.com.
What we collect, and why
- Your email address, and your first name if you choose to give it, when you subscribe. We use them only to send you the newsletter.
- A record of your sign-up and confirmation (date, time, the form used and IP address), kept as proof that you asked to subscribe.
- Email activity: whether an issue was delivered, opened or a link in it was clicked, and whether you unsubscribed. We use this in aggregate to see which topics are useful and to keep the list healthy.
- Anything you send us when you reply to an issue, so we can answer.
This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics or advertising scripts, and stores nothing about your visit. The sign-up form sends your details directly to our email provider.
Legal basis
We send the newsletter on the basis of your consent, which you give by subscribing and then confirming by email. You can withdraw it at any time by unsubscribing. Keeping proof of consent and keeping the list secure rest on our legitimate interests.
Who handles your data
We use Kit (ConvertKit LLC, United States) to store the subscriber list and send the newsletter. Kit processes your data on our instructions under a data processing agreement, and transfers outside your country are covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent safeguard. This website is hosted on Google Cloud. We do not sell, rent or share your data with anyone else, and we do not use it for advertising.
How long we keep it
For as long as you are subscribed. When you unsubscribe we stop emailing you straight away; your address stays on a suppression list so that it is not added again by mistake, and you can ask us to delete it completely.
Your rights
You can unsubscribe with the link at the bottom of every issue. You can also ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to its use, or to receive it in a portable format. Email amit@thecloudbrief.com and we will answer within one month. If you think we have handled your data wrongly, you can complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
The newsletter is written for IT professionals and is not directed at anyone under 16.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will say so in the newsletter before the change takes effect.
