How we use your personal data
When we refer to ‘personal data’ we mean any information that allows us to identify you personally. Obvious examples include your name, email address, postal address etc. We will always seek to gain your explicit consent to providing this information before we collect it from you, although this may not be the only legal basis on which we collect the data.
Other types of information, such as your computer’s ‘IP’ address or broad geographical location do not, generally, allow us to identify you directly. However, because in their current form, European data privacy regulations are somewhat vague in this regard, we will cover the use of such data here also.
The personal data we collect will be used to:
- Create and administrate your My SourceTech411 account.
- Send important notices to you, such as communications about purchases and changes to our terms and conditions and policies. Send newsletters, offers and other news about SourceTech411 ‘s latest product launches, firmware and software updates and upcoming events. If you do not want to be on our mailing list, you can opt out by simply clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the newsletters.
- Help us develop, deliver and improve our products, services, content, advertising and customer communications through internal audits, data analysis and research of the personal data and preferences you provided to us in connection with membership, purchase, lotteries, competitions or other promotional programs, if you participate in such events.
- Help us customize offers and marketing to you as a member, subscriber and customer through analysis of characteristics, habits and behaviors of yours based on the number of purchases, categories of purchases, interests, behavior on the website and in connection with the receipt of our digital marketing.
- Fulfill any obligations we have according to law, for example accounting and tax regulations.
Our processing is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations towards you as a customer and member of My SourceTech411 and for you to be able to receive the benefits stated in our terms and conditions.
If you are not willing to provide SourceTech411 with the information requested to perform our contractual obligations towards you as a customer, we will not able to provide you with membership, subscription or delivery of products and services.
We also process personal data for marketing purposes, as we have a legitimate commercial interest in marketing our products and services to customers and potential customers. In some cases, SourceTech411 has a legal obligation to process your personal data, for example for accounting purposes and we process your personal data under this legal obligation.
Technical data (such as ‘IP address’)
When you visit our website, our systems will log a record of your visit in our server logs, and typically this record will include the technical ‘IP’ address that is associated with your device and the browser type and version that you are using.
Such server logs are extremely common practice, and are used to monitor technical resources, monitor high-level server activity, and importantly to detect and prevent malicious or fraudulent activity on our systems. This data can also be used, if required, to diagnose reports of technical issues. The storage of IP addresses, allow us to identify patterns of behavior (such as repeated malicious attempts to access a system).
IP addresses, in and of themselves, do not allow us in any way to identify you as an individual, especially given that it is very common for IP addresses to be dynamically allocated by your service provider, and will therefore often routinely change.
Furthermore, we do not and will not use the content of server access logs to attempt to determine an identifiable individual. We therefore do not consider that data held within server logs falls within the scope of ‘personal data’, and accordingly we do not seek your consent to collect it.
