Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 September 2014

Scope

This Internet Privacy Policy applies to the Cogito Food & Beverages website. We recognise the importance of protecting the privacy of information collected about visitors to our website, in particular information that is capable of identifying an individual ("personal information"). This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which your personal information, obtained through the website, will be dealt with. We welcome your comments and feedback.

Personal Information

We only collect personal information about visitors to our site when it is knowingly and voluntarily submitted. For example, we may need to collect such information to provide you with further services or to answer any requests or enquiries.

Use of Personal Information

We use personal information that visitors submit to this site only for the purpose for which is is submitted, unless we disclose other uses in this Privacy Policy, or at the time of collection. We will only record your personal information if you send us a message. This personal information may include your name, contact details, email address, place of work, position and other details necessary for us to provide the information or services that you have requested. 

Site Visit Data

Our website records visit data such as, for example, IP addresses, top level domain names, visit dates and times, etc. This data is gathered in the aggregate and is not traced to individual users. We may use anonymous or ‘non-personally identifiable’ information:
● To personalise and support your use of our website;
● To improve our website, the customer experience, our marketing systems, and our products and services;
● To identify actions or transactions that originate through an affiliate marketing or supporter referral program; and
● For other historical, statistical or research and analysis purposes.

Sharing Your Information

Ensuring and respecting your privacy is important to us. We do not share your personal information with third parties unless we have your express consent to do so. However, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information as required by law and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect or enforce our rights, to protect against harm or the rights, property or safety of others or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on us.
We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information with our service providers and other third parties such as marketing, search and research organisations - for example, Google Analytics.

Accessing & Correcting Personal Information

We will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information which we hold about you - and to keep this information accurate and up to date. You have a right to access, and ask us to correct or delete any inaccurate personal information we may hold about you. If you would like to review or correct your personal information, please contact us using the details at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.

Links To Other Websites

Our website may contain links to third party websites. These linked sites are not under our control and we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct of other people or companies linked to our website. Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we encourage you to review the terms and conditions of using that website and its privacy policy.

Changes To Our Privacy Policy

We may occasionally change our Privacy Policy. These changes may reflect, among other things, changes in applicable laws or regulations, changes to our data collection practices, and/or changes to our business or services. You can tell if the privacy policy has been changed by checking the revision date that appears at the top of this policy. Using our services or website after a notice of the changes has been published on our website shall constitute your consent to the changed terms or practices. We therefore encourage you to review our Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
