We have taken a number of steps to protect personal information that we hold from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modifications or disclosure.

Our web pages that request personal information employ encryption technologies such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

If you’re considering sending us any personal information by standard email, please be aware that the information may be less secure in transit.

Other than where we use SSL technology to ensure your personal information is securely transmitted and processed, we cannot and do not accept responsibility for the security of information you send to or receive from us over the internet.

We’re also committed to protecting your information offline. All of your personal and business information, not just personal information and sensitive information, is subject to access controls.

We will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your personal information when we no longer need it.

We collect personal information so that we can –

a) identify you and if required conduct appropriate checks;

b) understand your requirements and provide you with the right product or service;

c) set up, administer and manage our products and services;

d) get a better understanding of you, your needs, your behaviours and how you interact with us, so we can engage in product and service research, development and business strategy including managing the delivery of our services and products via the ways we communicate with you.

We use your personal information to –

a) Fulfil orders and provide you with the products and services you’ve asked for. You need to provide us with your contact and payment details when you order our products and services.

We may from time to time need to disclose certain information, which may include your Personal Data, to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request.

If there is a change of control in one of our businesses (whether by merger, sale, transfer of assets or otherwise) customer information, which may include your Personal Data, could be disclosed to a potential purchaser under a confidentiality agreement. We would only disclose your information in good faith and where required by any of the above circumstances.

You can request access to your personal information, subject to some limited exceptions permitted or required by law. Such request must be made in writing to the AGDATA Privacy Officer. Please see ‘How to contact us’ for details. AGDATA may charge reasonable costs for providing you access to your personal information.

b) there may be no mechanisms that you can access to take action to enforce the protection of a law or binding scheme that has the effect of protecting your personal information.
