Our
commitment to privacy.
The Roadworks Online Ltd Privacy Policy was developed
as an extension of our commitment to combine the highest-quality
products and services with the highest level of integrity in dealing
with our clients and partners. This privacy policy applies to all
Roadworks Online Ltd family of websites.
The policy is designed to assist you in understanding
how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you
provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when
using our site and our products and services. This statement will
be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices
and our customers' needs.
What information do we collect?
When you visit our website you may provide us with
two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose
to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and website
use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others
browse our website.
1. Personal information you choose to provide
Credit card information
This section applies when online credit card payment
options are available through Roadworks Online Ltd websites. If
you choose to purchase products or services from us or our partners,
you may need to give personal information and authorization to
obtain information from various credit services. For example, you
may need to provide the following information:
Name
Mailing address
E-mail address
Credit card number
Home and business phone number
E-mail information
If you choose to correspond further with us through
e-mail, we may retain the content of your e-mail messages together
with your e-mail address and our responses. We provide the same
protections for these electronic communications that we employ
in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.
2. Website use information
Similar to other commercial websites, our website may utilize a standard technology
called "cookies" (see explanation below: What are cookies?) and
web server logs to collect information about how our website is used. Information
gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time
of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and the websites
visited just before and after our website. This information is collected
on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as
an individual.
How we use the information that you provide to
us
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for
purposes of administering our business activities, providing customer
service and making available other products and services to our
customers and prospective customers.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we
collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new
services and special offers we think you will find valuable. The
lists used to send you product and service offers are developed
and managed under our traditional corporate standards designed
to safeguard the security and privacy of our customers' personal
information. Upon registering for your online account, you will
be given the opportunity to indicate whether or not you wish to
receive these offers. If you change your mind later, your account
preferences are available through your online account and can be
adjusted at any time.
What are cookies?
Cookies are a standard feature of web browser software
that allow web servers to recognize the computer used to access
a website. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by
a user's web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies store select
pieces of information a user accesses on a web page to simplify
subsequent interactions with that website by the same user or to
use the information to streamline the user's transactions on related
web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from web page
to web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet.
Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
Cookies help us collect important business and
technical statistics. The information in the cookies lets us trace
the paths followed by users to our website as they move from one
page to another; this helps us improve our navigation and make
it easier for you to find things. Web server logs allow us to count
how many people visit our website and evaluate our website's visitor
capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual
e-mail address or any personally identifying information about
you, although they do permit us to display information or advertisements
most likely to be of interest to you.
Sharing information with affiliates
We do not currently host advertising for outside
companies on our website. However, we may decide sometime in the
future to display notices or advertisements from outside companies
on our website. In that event, we will take commercially reasonable
measures to select product or service providers that appear to
be responsible and afford privacy protections to their customers.
However, we cannot make any representations about the practices
and policies of these companies, and we do not warrant their products
or services.
No sharing of information with third parties
We do not sell, trade or disclose to third parties
any customer identifiable information derived from the registration
for or use of our online services (including customer names and
addresses) without your consent (except as required by subpoena,
search warrant or other legal process, or in the case of imminent
physical harm to yourself or others). When we use other agents,
contractors or companies to perform services on our behalf, we
will ensure that the company protects your customer identifiable
information consistent with this policy.
Notice of new services and changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we
collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new
services and special offers we think you will find valuable.
As our customer, you will be given the opportunity
to indicate whether or not you wish to receive these offers when
you register for your online account. If you change your mind later,
your account preferences are available through your online account
and can be adjusted at any time.
How do we secure information transmissions?
When you send confidential personal credit card
information to us on our website, a secure server software which
we have licensed encrypts all information you input before it is
delivered to us. The information is scrambled en route and decoded
once it reaches our web servers.
Other e-mail that you send us may not be secure
unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior
to your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that
you do not send confidential information such as social security
or account numbers to us through an unsecured e-mail.
Do we disclose information to outside parties?
We may provide aggregate information about our
customers, sales, website traffic patterns and related website
information to our affiliates or reputable third parties, but this
information will not include personally identifying data, except
as otherwise provided in this privacy policy.
What about legally compelled disclosure of information?
We may disclose information when legally responsible
to do so: under court or legal order, or when we, in good faith,
believe that the law requires it for the protection of our legal
rights.
What about other websites linked to our website?
We are not responsible for the practices employed
by websites linked to or from our website nor the information or
content contained therein. Often links to other websites are provided
solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful
or of interest to the users of our website.
Please remember that when you use a link to go
from our website to another website, our privacy policy is no longer
in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website,
including websites which have a link on our website, is subject
to that website's own rules and policies. Please read over those
rules and policies before proceeding.
Your consent
By using our website you consent to our collection
and use of your personal information as described in this privacy
policy. If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we
will post those changes on our website to keep you aware of what
information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances
we may disclose it.
