Electronics and ICT Association is committed to ensuring the privacy of personal information which you (the Visitor) might supply to us at this site (Visitor Data). When you access this site and submit any Visitor Data to us, your submission is an acknowledgment of and agreement with the terms of this statement and to the use of that Visitor Data by Electronics and ICT Association.

Any Visitor Data of a personal or sensitive nature that is collected from this site by Electronics and ICT Association will only be used as necessary for the business to be transacted between us and for the purposes of providing our Visitors with better services and products. It will not be disclosed to anyone else unless we are required by law to disclose it or you tell us we can or should.

Emailed responses and additional or new information regarding the products and services of Electronics and ICT Association may be accessed on this site based on information we have collected from our Visitors. Much of the information can be collected automatically when a Visitor hits this site. We also provide 'Contact Us' information for you to send us information about the site or our products and services or concerns about the privacy of information.

Electronics and ICT Association access to the Visitor Data is limited to authorised persons - employees and in some cases contractors and consultants who are all bound by contractual obligation to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of that Data.

Where there is a password or key provided to you to access this site or any secure part of it, then it is important to keep that password or key secret like an ATM PIN.

We may, in the ordinary course of our own business, use Visitor Data to direct market our products and services. You should indicate in your email if you prefer not to receive that marketing material in this manner.

If any of the personal information which you submit to us changes or becomes inaccurate, we ask that you notify us of the changes, so that we can take steps to correct the data we hold. Unless you tell us, we cannot be responsible for inaccurate or out of date information.

Electronics and ICT Association is continually assessing and updating its systems to ensure the security of information on the website as well as that retained on our independent systems. All reasonable efforts are made to provide an acceptable level of confidence that Visitor Data cannot be used by unauthorised persons or in a manner likely to affect the reputation or standing of Visitors.

Much of what is collected and stored is for our own use only to evaluate the effectiveness of our Website and the services and products we post on the site. We use the information to improve the site content or navigation.

Other information might be used by us to enable us to be proactive in assisting you in matters that either you or we have identified as relevant to your organisation and in particular, we may contact you to assist you in navigation of the Internet itself or location of like organisations suppliers or others with whom you may deal. We may also use the information to contact you and alert you to regulatory or compliance matters that might affect you.

Subject to the rights of other Visitors and persons whose information may be collected and aggregated with yours, you may request and we will disclose to you details of your personal information in the Visitor Data that we hold at any time. Given our commitment to your privacy, we can request verification from you and evidence to support such a request to ensure that the person who so requests that information is the person entitled at law to receive it.
