Privacy Policy

Focus Magazine (‘the Site’) values your personal information and complies with applicable laws. This policy explains what personal data the Site collects, how it is used, stored and destroyed, and your rights.

1. Information We Collect

The Site collects the following only when you voluntarily submit it — e.g., membership sign-up, free business listing, contest and community applications.

2. Purpose of Use

For member management, publishing business listings (by country), processing contest/community applications and individual notices, and — with your consent — sending news, offers and event information by email.

3. Retention Period

We destroy personal data without delay once its purpose is fulfilled, except where law requires longer retention. If you request deletion or withdrawal, we destroy it without delay.

4. Provision to Third Parties

We do not provide personal data to outside parties without your consent, except where required by law.

5. Processing & Cross-Border Transfer

The Site uses overseas cloud services (e.g., Netlify) for form intake and hosting, so personal data may be stored and processed on servers outside your country.

6. Your Rights

You may at any time request access, correction, deletion or suspension of processing of your data, and you may opt out of email at any time even after consenting. Please contact us below.

7. Security Measures

We minimize access to personal data, restrict submitted data to administrators, and take other necessary safeguards. Data past its retention period or purpose is destroyed irrecoverably.

8. Data Protection Contact

This policy is effective from August 13, 2026. Any changes will be announced on the Site.
