Privacy
AWT is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals and organisations it receives information from or about.
We want to provide a safe and secure service to all who come in contact with us. We will use our best efforts to ensure that any information provided to us will remain private unless otherwise agreed, and the information will only be used for the purpose for which it was supplied to us.
This Privacy Statement applies to AWT generally and your use of the AWT website.
Why do We Collect Personal Information?
AWT collects personal information in order to conduct our business, fulfil an enquiry or request, market our goods and services and to meet our legal obligations.
Information We Collect
We will not normally collect personal information other than your name, address, phone, fax or email address. Additional information, such as your preferences for various goods and services we provide, may also be collected.
We collect information on website activity, such as the number of visitors, the number of pages viewed, navigation patterns, what systems users have and the date and time of visits. This information is collected for statistical purposes only and cannot be used to identify you.
How do We Collect Personal Information?
AWT will generally collect personal information by way of forms filled out by people, face-to-face meetings, business cards, telephone conversations and from third parties. In some circumstances AWT may be provided with personal information about an individual from a third party, for example, a reference from another person.
In certain circumstances, we may also place a cookie on your computer through your web browser. A cookie is a small data file that is sent from our webserver and stored on your computer's hard drive. The cookie is not linked to your personal information and cannot be used to identify you. Its only purpose is to enable our systems to recognise your browser and provide you with a better interaction with our websites. You may choose to reject the cookie, which will still allow you to visit our websites, but may limit your experience and access to the sites.
Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
Your personal information will only be used for the purpose for which it was collected. Other than as may be required to enable a third party to provide you with goods and services you have specifically requested, your personal information will not be revealed, disclosed, sold, distributed, rented, shared, passed or given to any third parties without your consent, unless required or authorised under the exemptions set out in the Privacy Amendment (private sector) Act 2000.
We periodically conduct direct marketing campaigns to promote our goods and services. In all such campaigns, we provide recipients with details on how to opt-out of future campaigns.
Quality of Personal Information
Our aim is to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up-to-date. To help us with this, please contact us if any of your information you have provided changes. We will take reasonable efforts to correct the data.
