We will collect personal information from you by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonably intrusive way. The type of personal information we may collect from you can include your name, DOB, age, address, contact details (including phone, fax and e-mail) and information collected as a result of you using or acquiring Dalvie Systems products or services.

The personal information we collect from you ultimately allows us to provide you with better customer service. We may also use or disclose your personal information for purposes related or ancillary to the main purpose for which we collect it and where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. Some examples are:

We will not do this if you ask us not to do so. There are other situations where we are compelled by law to disclose your personal information. For instance, under certain circumstances, we may be compelled to provide your personal information to law enforcement or government agencies.

Our duty of confidentiality and your consent

We have a duty to keep confidential all confidential personal information we hold about you except where disclosure of your personal information is: – compelled by law. For example, disclosure to various government departments and agencies, and disclosure to courts.

  • In the public interest

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Cookies
