‍

MADX Digital Ltd (β€œMADX”, β€œwe”, β€œus”, β€œour”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use and safeguard your personal data when you visit our website(s) and sub-domains, interact with our content, or use our services, and informs you about your rights and how the law protects you.

‍

By using our website or services, you agree to this privacy policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described here.

Please see the Glossary for the meaning of terms used in this policy.

1. Important information and who we are

‍

Purpose of this privacy policy

‍

This policy gives you information on how MADX collects and processes your personal data through your use of our website(s) [https://www.madx.digital] (including any landing pages and sub-domains) and when you engage our services (for example, when you request a proposal, subscribe to our newsletter, attend a webinar, download gated content, or become a customer).

‍

Our services and site are intended for business users. We do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

‍

This privacy policy supplements other notices (e.g., cookie banner, contract terms) and is not intended to override them.

‍

Controller

‍

MADX Ltd is the data controller for personal data described in this policy. In limited cases, we may act as a data processor for customers (e.g., when we manage analytics/SEO tools in a customer’s account and only process personal data on their instructions). Where we act as a processor, the customer’s privacy policy applies, and our processing is governed by a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with that customer.

Our site may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking those may allow third parties to collect or share data about you.

‍

  • Identity Data: First name, last name, job title, company, country/region.

We do not intentionally collect Special Categories of Personal Data (e.g., health, religious beliefs). Please do not submit such data to us. If a specific engagement requires it, we will obtain explicit consent or rely on another lawful basis where permitted by law.

If we need personal data by law or to perform a contract and you do not provide it when requested, we may be unable to provide the service.

Where tools involve third-party AI vendors, we restrict inputs to only what is necessary. If a specific use requires your consent or special terms, we will obtain it in advance.

‍

You may receive marketing if you have requested information from us, downloaded content, attended our events, or purchased from us and not opted out. You can opt out at any time via the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.

Cookies

‍

We use cookies/pixels to operate the site and understand performance. For details and to manage preferences, see our Cookie Policy.

‍

Change of purpose

We will only use your data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider we need to use it for another compatible purpose. If we need to use it for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis.

‍

5. Disclosures of your personal data

‍

We may share personal data with:

‍

  • Service providers/Processors acting on our behalf, such as: hosting and cloud providers, analytics and advertising platforms, CRM and marketing automation, webinar/event platforms, payment and invoicing providers, project management and collaboration tools, IT/security providers, and professional advisers (legal, accounting).
  • Customers (when we act as a processor on their instruction) or as necessary to deliver the engagement.
  • Corporate transactions: third parties to whom we may sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or assets.
  • Authorities: where required by law or to protect legal rights.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not permit our service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only allow them to process it for specified purposes and in accordance with our written instructions and confidentiality obligations. Where those providers act as our processors, we put appropriate data processing terms and safeguards in place (including international transfer mechanisms where relevant). You can contact us for information about our current categories of service providers.

We do not sell your personal data.

‍

6. Data security

‍

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss. Access is limited to personnel and processors who need it for business purposes and are subject to confidentiality obligations. We maintain incident response procedures and will notify you and regulators of a breach where legally required.

‍

7. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including satisfying legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

  • Customer/project files: contract term + 6 years (statutory limitation).
  • Billing records (invoices, payments): 6–7 years (tax/legal).
  • Recruitment data: 12 months (unless you consent to a longer talent-pool retention).

We may anonymise data for research and statistics, in which case we may use it indefinitely without further notice.

You will not usually have to pay a fee, but we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse a request if it is unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

‍

9. Push and email notifications

‍

We may send you service or transactional emails (e.g., onboarding, invoices, project updates). For marketing emails, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email or by contacting us.
