Privacy/Terms of Use
Packet Analytics takes your right to online privacy very seriously and, as such, undertakes to collect your data by means that are:
- fair;
- legal; and
- transparent.
If you visit Packet Analytics' website, your web browser automatically discloses, and Packet Analytics' web server automatically logs, the following information: the date and time, the IP address from which you issued the request, the type of browser and operating system you are using, the URL of any page that referred you to the page, the URL you requested, and whether your request was successful. This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you.
Any additional data that you provide, e.g. in a web form, may also be logged. This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you.
Any additional data that your web-browser automatically provides may also be logged. This will be the case, for example, if your browser has previously been requested to store data on your computer in 'cookies' and submits them each time you request a web-page within a particular domain (such as packetanalytics.com). This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you.
If you disclose personal data to Packet Analytics in conjunction with an identifier such as your name or your credit-card details, Packet Analytics will collect your data. Moreover, any data that becomes available to Packet Analytics through any of the means described in the preceding paragraphs may be able to be associated with that identifier, and hence become your data.
Subject to the qualifications immediately below, Packet Analytics undertakes to collect your data from you and not from other parties. This undertaking is qualified as follows:
- where Packet Analytics reasonably considers that the protection of its financial interests requires that it gather your data from other sources, or from additional sources. This applies in particular where Packet Analytics has a lending exposure to you, and seeks information about your creditworthiness;
- where Packet Analytics reasonably considers that its capability to deliver quality services to you will be materially enhanced by gathering your data from other sources. This applies in particular to company profile data.
Where Packet Analytics collects your data from sources other than you, it undertakes:
- to do so only by legal means;
- to do so only with your Consent; and
- to declare to you what sources it uses, and under what circumstances.
Packet Analytics undertakes to declare the purpose of collection in a manner which is clear and meaningful, and to avoid vague, highly inclusive statements such as 'to support our operations'.
