PRIVACY STATEMENT
Aitkens ("Aitkens" or "we") recognizes the importance of
protecting the privacy of all information provided by users of our
Web sites. We created the following policy guidelines with a
fundamental respect for our users' right to privacy.
Information Collected by Aitkens
Aitkens collects information about users during their registration
for some of our Web sites and during their participation in certain
activities on our Web sites. When users request pages from our Web
server, our server automatically collects some information about
the users, including Internet protocol (IP) addresses. Some
activities on our Web sites, particularly viewing certain product
demonstrations, require a user account and password, which are
obtained by registering to view the product. Certain voluntary
information is requested during registration.
As you browse the site, Aitkens computers collect information
about your visit, not about you personally. Via web server logs and
browser cookie files, we monitor statistics such as:
How many people visit our site
Which pages people visit on our site
From which domains our visitors come (e.g.,
"msn.com" or "aol.com")
Which browsers people use to visit our
site
While we gather this information, none of it is associated with
you as an individual. We use these statistics to improve our Web
site, to monitor its performance, and to make it easier for you and
other visitors to use.
Use of Information
Aitkens uses reasonable precautions to keep the personal
information disclosed to us secure and to disclose this information
only to responsible third parties, and then only after Aitkens
receives permission from the user. This permission may be sought
online.
Aitkens uses IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our
server and to administer our Web site. Using e-mail addresses
provided at registration, where appropriate, Aitkens will respond
with information pertaining to the original request.
Our site does not use "cookies" at this time for obtaining user
preferences or other information, with the exception of resolving
links to other sites. If we start to use "cookies" for any other
purpose, we will revise this policy or otherwise let users know of
that change.
General
Aitkens is not responsible for the content or the privacy polices
of Web sites to which it may provide links. Those are links to
servers maintained by other businesses and organisations. Those
links are provided as a service to users. Aitkens also cannot
provide any warranty about the accuracy or source of the
information contained on any of those servers or the content of any
file the user might download from those sites.
In the event of an unpaid account or disputed account, we will
instruct our appointed debt recovery agents/solicitors to proceed
with the necessary course of action to retrieve any monies due to
our Company without prior consent from the customer. Only
information held that is relevant to the matter in hand will be
passed to our appointed third party agents (See terms &
conditions)
If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the
practices of this site or your dealings with Aitkens you can reach
us via our contacts page.
