Unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, any term in this Privacy Policy will bear the same meaning as defined in any of our Terms and Conditions, Terms of Registration, or Conditions of Use, as applicable and appearing on this site.

For purpose of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means the user’s name, identifying number/s (eg. social security number, identity number, passport number, registration number), billing and shipping details, physical and postal addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone number/s, financial details, profiling information, and any other personal or sensitive information disclosed to us or acquired by us through this website.

We may also store information when you interact with adverts on our site. Personal information gathered by us, including through our online contact us, subscribe and order forms, and comment boxes may be used to personally identify users that subscribe to our service or purchase from this website.

We will not ask you to disclose personal information relating to your religious or philosophical beliefs, race or ethnic origin, trade union membership, political persuasion, health or sex life except where such information is relevant and necessarily required for us to deliver our services, or otherwise required by law.
We may use personal information to help improve this website and our service offerings, analyse trends, and administer this website. We may also use your email address, telephone number and other contact details to inform you about our products and services, let you know about changes and improvements to this website, and generally communicate with you. Personal information will not be used for any purpose other than that which is stated in this Policy or in any Terms & Conditions of using our service, Terms of Sale, Terms of Registration or Conditions of Use.

By registering, accepting our terms or conditions, purchasing products and services, or submitting any personal information, and by browsing and interacting on this website, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information, subject to the limitations set out in this Privacy Policy.
Personal information may be collected when a user registers on this website, submits an application form, subscribes, requests a quote, submits a message via our “Contact Us” facility, places an order, responds to a survey, or in any other manner or form submits personal information via this site. Personal information may also be collected through this website for the purpose of improving our service offering and increasing service efficiency. Personal information may be collected, processed and retained on servers located outside of the country in which you live.

We will use our best endeavors to keep the personal information collected through this website as accurate, complete and up to date as is necessary for the purposes mentioned herein. We may, from time to time, request you to update your personal information on the website. On request, you are able to review or update any personally identifiable information belonging to you that we have recorded and retained. In order to better protect and safeguard personal information, you may be required to verify your identity before being granted access to any personal information or being permitted to make any corrections to the information. This website may use encryption, firewalls and other security technology and procedures to help protect the confidentiality of personal information and prevent unauthorized access or improper use thereof. All personal information is stored in the website’s database, and secured in accordance with industry standards. Notwithstanding, we do not guarantee the protection of personal information from hacking, theft or unauthorized access, and we will not be responsible for any damages that may be suffered as a result of hacking, theft or unauthorized access. In the unlikely event that your personal information is compromised, including through hacking, theft or unauthorized access, we will notify you so that you can take any precautionary measures that you feel may be required.

Personal information will be retained for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes mentioned herein. We may also be required by law to retain personal information for prescribed periods of time or in prescribed formats. We will delete your personal information from our records upon your request. Deletion of personal information, whether at our instance or at your request, is not necessarily absolute, despite our best endeavors, as there may be residual copies of the information in our back-up systems that we cannot delete as this could affect the security and integrity of our systems.

Disclosure

We may disclose personal information to other persons for certain specified purposes, including for credit information sharing, debtor tracing, marketing and contract administration. We will also provide personal information to law enforcement and other competent authorities in response to lawful requests and including where we believe that the disclosure of the information is necessary: for any criminal or civil legal investigation; to detect or prevent fraud or other criminal activities; to protect any person or the general public from harm or suffering loss or damages.
Where we use domain administrators and outsourced IT suppliers, these administrators and suppliers may need to or may be able to access personal information in order to perform their services optimally. We may also appoint consultants to help us collect, interpret and use personal information in line with this Policy. Any third party administrators and suppliers appointed by us will be required to adhere to this Policy.
We may from time to time share non-personally identifiable information, such as aggregated information, statistics and trends, with other companies, organisations and persons, including our publishers, marketers and social media consultants.
If ownership of this website is transferred to someone else, all personal information in our possession may be transferred to the new owner.
If we disclose personal information to third parties, we will limit the disclosure to the information necessarily required by the third party to fulfill the purpose for the disclosure.
Other than in accordance with this Policy or necessary to deliver goods or services, we will not sell, share, or rent personal information to any companies, organisations or persons outside of our group structure without obtaining your consent, and any information that is disclosed will be on a need-to-know basis. We will ask you for consent before we use your personal information for any purpose not set out in this Policy.
