Privacy
We collect personal information from our visitors on a voluntary basis.
Personal information may include name, title, company, address, phone number,
email address, and other relevant data. Questions or comments submitted by
visitors may also include personal information. We do not require personal
information to obtain access to most of our site. We do, however, require
it to download product information, order products and take advantage of
certain other features of our site.
We use the information that visitors provide for such purposes as processing
and responding to requests, improving our operations, and communicating with
visitors about our products, services and businesses. Subsidiaries and external
service providers participate in some of these activities, but we do not
sell or rent personal information to unrelated businesses for direct marketing
purposes.Also, as our business evolves we may transfer or acquire businesses
and related assets, and we may transfer information about customers and site
visitors in connection with such transactions.
Our web server also automatically collects non-personally-identifiable
information such as the domain name of the site providing the visitor with
Internet access, but not the visitor's user name. Other examples of information
collected by our server include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to
connect the visitor's computer to the Internet, the visitor's browser type
and version, operating system and platform, the average time spent on our
site, pages viewed, information searched for, access times and other relevant
statistics. We use this information in the aggregate to measure the use of
our site and to administer and improve our site.
We also use cookies to distinguish repeat visitors from first time
visitors and provide visitors a personalised experience on our site. Cookies
are pieces of information that a web site transfers to the hard drive of
a visitor's computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies to allow
visitors to use the site without logging on upon returning, to auto-populate
email forms, to make improvements and to better tailor our site to our visitors'
needs. We also use this information to verify that visitors meet the criteria
required to process their requests. Visitors who complete the registration
form may decline to accept the cookie which allows the site to recognise
them as registered users upon their return, but declining this cookie does
not affect a separate cookie which distinguishes repeat from first time visitors.
Most browsers used by visitors have options that allow the visitor to control
whether the browser will accept cookies, reject cookies, or notify the visitor
each time a cookie is sent, but setting a browser to reject cookies will
limit the range of features available to the visitor on our site.
To the extent required or permitted by law, we may also collect, use
and disclose personal information in connection with security related or
law enforcement investigations or in the course of co-operating with authorities
or complying with legal requirements.
We take commercially reasonable precautions to keep all information
obtained from our online visitors secure against unauthorised access and
use and we periodically review our security measures.
Our site contains links to other web sites. These sites are not covered
by this privacy statement, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices
or the content of these other sites.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement and related business
practices at any time by posting updated text on this site.
