Introduction

This Joint Controller Statement (“Statement”) explains the nature of the relationship between TechTarget, Inc.  (“TechTarget”) and Informa PLC (“Informa”) in relation to the way we handle your personal data.

The Joint Controller Relationship

In 2024, Informa and TechTarget combined parts of their businesses to create a platform to serve B2B customers at scale digitally. Following this transaction, TechTarget became an Informa company and certain datasets were combined, meaning each company became a joint controller of the data in those records. Data protection is taken seriously by both Informa and TechTarget and we set out the information below to assist you with understanding your rights in relation to the personal data held by us.

What do we do with your personal information? 

Certain services and products are provided by both Informa and TechTarget, such as lead generation and marketing activities. Where this is the case, each company may use your data to provide the services, to keep a record of your preferences and sometimes to let you know about other products or services that may be of interest to you. Collectively, these activities are called “Joint Controller Purposes”. We will only process your personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so.

Who is responsible for dealing with a request from you?

Informa and TechTarget have a Joint Controller Agreement in place, which sets out our respective responsibilities in relation the Joint Controller Purposes. Those that impact data subjects are set out below:

  • Data subjects may choose to request any of their GDPR rights via either Informa or TechTarget in connection with the Joint Controller Purposes. The company that received the request will have primary responsibility for fulfilling that request and the other company will provide any necessary assistance.

 

  • Both Informa and TechTarget share responsibility for complying with the data protection principles, including transparency, data accuracy, data minimisation, fairness, accountability, security, storage limitation and data protection by design, in connection with the Joint Controller Purposes.

 

  • If either Informa or TechTarget receives a request from a data subject or a supervisory authority for information relating to the Agreement or the Joint Controller Purposes, that Party shall provide to the data subject or supervisory authority, as appropriate, this Statement.
