Supplemented and Enriched Data
In order to improve the relevance of our communications, personalize user experiences, and identify potential business relationships, Practical Machinist may supplement the data you provide with information obtained from third-party sources. This process—also known as data enrichment or profiling—may include associating additional information with your account or business profile, such as:
- Company attributes, professional titles, or public social profiles
- Business activity signals or inferred interests
- Publicly available or licensed business data
We may use reputable third-party services that support data enrichment and marketing automation to perform these enhancements, where permitted by applicable law.
Why We Use Enriched Data
We use enriched data for the following purposes:
- To personalize marketing content, newsletters, and outreach
- To improve and segment our audience understanding for business development
- To deliver more relevant recommendations, services, and communications
- To analyze and optimize our platform and user engagement
- To build training data for AI-powered or automated tools, such as chatbots or recommendation engines, consistent with our Terms of Use
Legal Basis for Processing
If you are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, or any jurisdiction subject to data protection regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the UK Data Protection Act, we process this data under the legal basis of:
- Legitimate Interests: We have a legitimate interest in understanding and improving our business relationships, communications, and service offerings.
- In certain cases, we may also rely on your explicit consent, especially where required by law or platform-specific terms.
We conduct appropriate balancing tests to ensure our legitimate interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you
- Object to or restrict certain types of processing, including profiling for direct marketing
- Withdraw your consent (if we rely on consent as the basis for processing)
- Request that we do not “sell” or “share” your personal information (as defined under U.S. privacy law)
