Environex is strongly committed to protecting your privacy when you interact with us, our content, products and services.
Environex International Pty Ltd is committed to conducting its business in compliance in all respects with the privacy laws and the laws relating to protection of personal information in every jurisdiction in which it operates.
The laws governing collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information may vary according to your physical location or domicile, and we will adopt more restrictive practices appropriate to your location as required by local laws.
Subject to variations according to local laws, this policy sets out general principles with respect to Environex’s practice on the collection, use and disclosure of personal information through use of their site.
1. What is your personal information and what personal information is collected through your use of this website?
When we refer in this statement to "personal information" we are referring to any information that can be used to identify you personally. This may include, for example, your name, address, telephone number, email address, profession or occupation. If the information identifies you, or you are reasonably identifiable from it, the information will be considered personal information.
The types of personal information that we collect from you will depend on how you use this web site. For example:
When an organisation purchases Environex products on line we collect details such as a contact name, telephone and email address for a person acting on behalf of the purchasing organisation, alternatively, you may register with us through our internet sites in order to receive general business and product information.
When you use this website our Internet Service Provider (ISP) may make a record of your visit and log your server address, your domain name, the date, time and duration of your visit, the pages and documents you accessed, the previous site you had accessed (i.e the referring URL) and the type of browser you are using. This information is collected for statistical purposes only, and Environex will not make any attempt to identify users according to their browsing activity.
It is also possible that your ISP is logging your activity while you visit our site. This is obviously beyond the control of Environex International Pty Ltd.
