Privacy Policy |
|
At Earthinsite.com Pty Ltd (Earthinsite) we are concerned about protecting your privacy. This statement sets out our policies relating to your personal information and how we handle site navigation data, cookies and email addresses.
Your personal information is important to us.
Earthinsite recognises that your privacy is important to you and that you have a right to control your personal information. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that seriously. Unless you give us explicit consent to act otherwise, the following policies will govern how Earthinsite handles your personal information and safeguards your privacy.
Site Navigation data
Site navigation data are the paths a user takes when navigating a web site and the Internet in general. When you visit our site, our servers may record the following information for statistical purposes:
- the user's server (IP) address;
- the date and time of visit to the site;
- the pages accessed and data downloaded;
- the number of bytes transmitted and received for each request;
- the previous site or page visited;
- search terms used; and
- the type of browser used.
We examine this information to determine the traffic through our server and to specific pages or applications. In order to deliver a better service, we also undertake statistical analysis to establish priorities and allocate resources.
No attempt will be made to identify users or their browsing activities except in the unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect our records.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of information that is sent from a web server to the browser on a user's computer when the user visits the server's site. The cookie is stored on the user's computer, but it is not an executable program and cannot do anything to your computer.
Whenever a user requests a file from the same web server that sent the cookie, the user’s browser sends a copy of that cookie back to the server along with the request. In this way, the server knows you have visited before and can co-ordinate your access to different pages on its web site. A server cannot find out a name or email address, or anything about a user's computer, by using cookies.
We use cookies to obtain session details for access to parts of our sites. Cookies are essential in providing a seamless access to some on-line databases.
Email
Earthinsite will only use your email address for the purpose for which you have provided it and it will not be added to a mailing list unless you have asked us to, nor will we disclose it except as required by law.
Using and disclosing your personal information
Earthinsite will not use or disclose any information about you without your consent, or access your communications on our website, unless:
- required by law.
- we believe it necessary to provide you with a service that you have requested.
- to implement our terms of service.
Earthinsite does not share, sell or trade email addresses or specific information collected as part of providing our service to you. We do not contribute to or participate in shared or cooperative databases, which give other companies access to your personal information.
Storage and security of your personal information
Earthinsite will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information that we hold about you. Your information is stored in a secure environment separate from our website.
In addition, our employees and data processors are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by Earthinsite. However, Earthinsite will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.
Links to other websites
Earthinsite will from time to time provide links to websites outside of the Earthinsite service. These linked sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for the conduct of organisations linked to our website. Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to examine the terms and conditions of using their websites.
What to do if you have a problem or question
If you have any further queries relating to our privacy policy, or you have a problem or complaint, please contact us at info@earthinsite.com
Future changes
Our commitment to make Earthinsite a leading spatial data website means that we will be regularly adding new features to the site. Because of this, from time to time, our policies will be reviewed and may be revised. Earthinsite reserves the right to change its privacy policy at any time and notify you by posting an updated version of the policy on its website.
