Privacy Policy

Welcome to C-suite Asia (accessible from https://csuite.asia). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how C-suite Asia (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you visit our content and news aggregation platform.

1. About Our Platform

C-suite Asia operates as a content and news aggregator for regional business executives. We headline, curate, index, and link to external articles, news outlets, and third-party publications. We do not host or claim ownership of full third-party articles displayed via external links.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two main ways: directly from you when you provide it, and automatically as you navigate our platform.

A. Information You Provide Directly

  • Newsletter Subscriptions: If you sign up for our daily briefings, we collect your email address and preferred topic preferences.
  • Account Registration (if applicable): If you create an account to customise your feeds or save articles, we may collect your name, job title, company, email address, and login credentials.
  • Contact & Inquiries: If you contact us for feed submissions, copyright inquiries, partnerships, or support, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.


B. Information Collected Automatically

When you browse C-suite Asia, our servers automatically record standard web browser information:

  • Log Data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring website URL, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and time stamps.
  • Click Data: Because we aggregate content, we track outbound link clicks (e.g., when you click a headline to visit an external news source) to understand trending topics and measure platform engagement.
  • Cookies and Analytics: We use cookies, web beacons, and analytical tools (such as Google Analytics) to gather aggregated usage data.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

  • Platform Delivery: To run, maintain, and present C-suite Asia, including curated feeds tailored to regional executives.
  • Communication: To send you news digests, administrative alerts, updates, or responses to your queries.
  • Analytics & Performance: To analyse user behaviour, measure outbound link activity, and improve site layout, feed relevancy, and speed.
  • Security & Misuse Prevention: To protect against fraudulent activity, spam, unauthorised access, and legal liability.

4. Cookies, Tracking Technologies & Advertising

A. General Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for essential functionality, performance, and analytics to understand how visitors move through our site. You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies; however, disabling cookies may affect certain features of C-suite Asia.

B. Third-Party Advertising & Affiliate Links

We may partner with third-party advertising networks (such as Google AdSense) or display sponsored content sections. These networks may use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personal information (such as your IP address or browsing behaviour) to serve targeted advertisements based on your visits to C-suite Asia and other websites.

Additionally, some outbound links on our platform may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a small commission or referral fee—at no extra cost to you—if you subscribe to or purchase a service through those links.

5. Automated Indexing & Content Accuracy

C-suite Asia utilises automated systems, algorithms, scrapers, and RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds to aggregate, categorise, and present news feeds.

  • Accuracy: While we aim for high indexing standards, we do not manually verify or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, timeliness, or accuracy of third-party articles linked on our site.
  • User Reliance: Relying on aggregated headlines, excerpts, or summaries is entirely at your own risk.

6. Copyright & DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) Take-Down Policy

C-suite Asia respects the intellectual property rights of news publishers, journalists, and content creators. We curate public headlines, short excerpts, and outbound links in accordance with Fair Use standards and international copyright practices.

If you are a copyright owner, publisher, or authorised agent and believe your content is being displayed on our platform in a manner that infringes your rights under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) or applicable local copyright laws, or if you wish to have your site’s RSS feed removed from our aggregator index:

  • Please submit a formal takedown request to us here. 
  • Include the source or URL of the specific content/feed on C-suite Asia, proof of ownership or authorisation, and your contact details.
  • We will verify and process the request to remove the requested links or feeds promptly upon notification.

7. Third-Party Links & External Sites

C-suite Asia contains numerous outbound links to third-party news outlets, blogs, industry publications, and advertisers.

  • No Control: We do not own, operate, or control these third-party websites.
  • Independent Policies: Once you click an outbound link and leave C-suite Asia, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party website you visit.
  • No Endorsement: Linking to external content does not imply an endorsement of the third party’s data collection practices, security, or editorial opinions.

8. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data under the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With trusted third-party vendors who assist in operating our platform, hosting servers, delivering newsletters, or conducting analytics (bound by strict confidentiality obligations).
  • Legal Compliance: If required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the safety, legal rights, or property of C-suite Asia, our users, or the public.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, or sale of company assets, user data may be transferred as part of the business assets.

9. International Data Transfers

C-suite Asia serves an international audience with a focus on the Asian market. The data we collect may be stored and processed on cloud servers located outside your home country. By using our platform, you consent to the cross-border transfer of your information in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

10. Data Retention and Security

Retention: We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

  • Security: We employ technical and organisational safeguards (such as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption and access controls) to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, or alteration. However, no digital transmission or storage system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
