Collection of Personal Data
When you visit our Website, we will record your visit only and will not collect any personal data from you unless otherwise stated. Cookies used (if any) in any part of our Website will not be deployed for collecting personal data. For your information, Cookies are small pieces of data that can be stored in users’ hardwares for the purposes of obtaining configuration information and analysing users’ viewing habits. They are commonly used to track your preferences in relation to the subject matter of the Website and make your online experience easier and more personalized. You have the option to configure your Internet browser to notify you when receiving a cookie, so you will have the option to block all cookies. By doing so, however, you may not be able to use some of the functionality available on our Website.
When you contact us we may collect personal data from you which may include your name, your trade, your employer/company information, job title, telephone number, fax number, address and email address. Please note that it is mandatory for you to provide personal data marked with asterisks. Refusal to provide such information may render us unable to handle any application or request you are making, or may otherwise defeat the objectives of your visit.
Security
All personal data you provide to us is secured on our Website with restricted access by authorized personnel only. We utilize encryption/security software for data transmission so as to protect your data via encrypting it in a secure format to ensure its privacy and security from unauthorized access or disclosure, accidental loss, alteration or destruction. In addition, we will adopt contractual or other means to prevent any personal data transferred to our data processor (i) from being kept longer than is necessary for processing of the data; and (ii) from unauthorized or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss or use, if we are to engage any data processor.

– providing information about the Company and our products and/or services to you;
– processing any enquiries arising out of or in connection with the Company, products and/or services;
– and other related purposes for which you have otherwise made it available to us.
We will not use your personal data to provide marketing materials to you unless we have your prior consent.
