INFORMATION ABOUT ALL COMPANY VISITORS

In general, we gather information about all of our users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently and what services users access the most. We only use such data in the aggregate. This information helps us determine what is most beneficial for our users, and how we can continually create a better overall experience for our users. We may share this information with our partners, but only in the aggregate, so that they too may understand how Company users, collectively, use our website, so they may create a better overall experience for you, as well.

As you browse through our website, our web server collects information about your visit, not about you personally. We gather and monitor statistics and other analytical information collected on an aggregate basis of all visitors to our website such as, for example:-

  •  the number of people who visit the website;
  •  the date and time of visits; – the number of pages viewed;
  •  the amount of time spent on the website;
  •  the most popular sections of the website.

So, for example, on a specific day we can identify that our site has forty thousand visitors. However, we know nothing about these visitors in terms of email addresses or any other personal information. This information is anonymous and no attempt is or will be made to identify visitors. This non-personal data comprises information that cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information regarding, for example, user IP addresses where they have been clipped or anonymised, browser types and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our web site.

We use the non-personal data gathered from visitors to our web site in an aggregate form to get a better understanding of where our visitors come from and to help us better design and organise our website.

We may also ask you for other information, such as information on your interests, your likes and dislikes regarding the website, the types of products and services you are interested in, etc., in an effort to deliver to you the best possible website experience.
