HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We have taken appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and security of the personal information collected and stored in our databases.

Although appropriate security measures have been implemented to protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration or loss of personal information, you should be aware that any information transmitted over the Internet may be intercepted by third parties.

We assume no responsibility for the interception, misuse or alteration of any information transmitted over the Internet.

Our website may occasionally contain links to other websites that collect personal information. Our Privacy Policy does not extend to these third-party websites and, as such, we assume no responsibility for third-party links, the privacy practices or policies of those third parties, or the content of those third-party websites.

We recommend that you read the privacy statements of those third parties and make an informed decision about whether you wish to visit their websites or provide personal information to them.

Unless required by law, internal compliance guidelines or storage as part of routine computer backups, we will endeavour to retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.

WHO MAY VIEW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Access to your personal information will be limited to persons who require that information to conduct our business activities.

We do not disclose your personal information without your consent, except where specific reference is made when you provide the personal information, where disclosure of the personal information to third parties is directly related to our business activities, or where disclosure is necessary to provide you with information, products or services.

We may also disclose your personal information when required by law.

In connection with our business activities, your personal information may be provided to the following third parties:

Any company or legal entity associated with, related to or affiliated with our current projects or developments, or any future project or development, including, without limitation, our legal advisers, accountants and/or auditors;

These third parties receive only the personal information required to perform the services for which they were retained and may not use that personal information for any other purpose.

HOW DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Wherever possible, personal information will be collected directly from and with the consent of the individual concerned. However, we may occasionally collect personal information from third parties.

For each visitor to our website, our server may recognize the visitor’s domain name and email address, where applicable.

We collect visitors’ domain names, aggregate information about the web pages accessed by visitors, and information voluntarily provided by visitors, such as personal information, survey responses and/or website registrations.

We may also collect certain basic information regarding the use of our website. This type of non-identifiable information may be collected automatically, without registration or without requiring you to complete online surveys, forms or questionnaires.

This information may include website traffic volume, the web pages visited and the amount of time spent on them, the type of Internet browser used, the type of operating system used and, where applicable, the domain name of the website from which a link was made to our website.

This information is used only in aggregate form to help us better understand changing market trends and improve the quality of our website.

A “cookie” is a small amount of data that our website may send to your Internet browser and that may then be stored on your computer’s hard drive so that we can recognize you when you return to our website.

We may use cookies to store visitors’ preferences, record session information, record user-specific information about the web pages users access or visit, alert visitors to new areas that may be of interest to them when they return to our website, record previous activity on the website to provide better service when visitors return, and personalize website content based on visitors’ browser type or other information submitted by the visitor.

You may configure your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to refuse certain cookies.

You are not required to accept cookies to access or browse our website. However, some limited functionality may be lost if you have disabled or deleted all cookies.

RIGHT OF ACCESS TO PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you.

If you wish to review, verify or correct your personal information, you must contact our Privacy Officer using the contact information provided below. Please note that all requests must be made in writing.

Although you have the right to access your personal information, this right is not absolute.

We may refuse to provide access to your personal information where such refusal is permitted or required by applicable law.

Subject to any legal restrictions, we will endeavour to inform you of the reasons why access was denied.

CONSENT AND UNSUBSCRIBING

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS AND GOOGLE ADWORDS

We use Google Analytics, which allows us to collect and analyze information about the areas you visit on our website. This information will be used to personalize our website according to your interests and preferences.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google.

Our website also uses the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third-party websites, including Google, to previous visitors to our website.

This may mean that we advertise to previous visitors who did not complete a task on our website, such as using the contact form to submit an inquiry.

The advertisement may appear on a Google search results page or on a website within the Google Display Network.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve advertisements based on your previous visits to our website.

Google’s Privacy Policy is available here:

You may opt out and prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on:

You may also opt out or manage your preferences on the Google Ads Preferences page.

By continuing to use our website without opting out, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these terms.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding our Privacy Policy, or if you wish to access or update your personal information, please contact us.

All complaints will be reviewed as soon as reasonably possible under the circumstances.
