Privacy Policy

This site is administered by ZMC Elecon Ltd (ZMC Elecon).

Your privacy on ZMC Elecon’s site

The primary purpose of our website is to be a business tool to help you learn more about our company, products and services. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so. This policy explains how any personal data we may collect from or about you through this site, will be processed and protected by us. By using our site you are consenting to ZMC Elecon’s use of your data as described below. Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page.

What information do we gather?

We collect information through this site in two ways: (1) directly (for example, when you provide information to sign up for a newsletter or register to comment on a forum site); and (2) indirectly (for example, through our site's technology).

We may collect and process the following information:

• Information that you provide by filling in forms on our site. This includes registering to use the site, subscribing to services, newsletters and alerts. Pages that collect this type of information may provide further information as to why your data is needed and how it will be used. It is completely up to you whether you want to provide it.
• If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
• We may ask you to complete surveys that we use for research purposes, although you do not have to respond to them.
• Our site collects information about your computer, including (where available) your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration, to filter traffic, to look up user domains and to report on statistics.
• Details of your visits to our site and resources you access (including but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data).

When this information relates to or identifies you, we will treat it as “personal data”.

How do we use information that we collect from the site?

We use personal data to provide you with information you request and for other purposes which we would describe to you at the point where it is collected or which will be obvious to you. For example:

• To fulfil your requests for white papers, articles, newsletters or other content
• For surveys or research questionnaires
• To personalise your site experience
• To contact you for marketing purposes where you have agreed to this.

We analyse your IP and browser information to determine what is most effective about our site, to help us identify ways to improve it and, eventually, to determine how we can tailor our site to make it more effective.

Will we share your personal data with outside parties?

We will not sell personal data to third parties. We generally only share personal data with our contracted service providers and advisors. However, there will be other times when we need to share or disclose personal data you provide for a specific purpose, for example:

• We may need to disclose your personal data to third parties in the event that we sell or liquidate any part of our business or assets;
• We will disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Terms of Use; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Accenture, our clients, or others.

What about sensitive personal data?

We do not generally seek to collect sensitive personal data through this site. In the limited cases where we do seek to collect such data, we will do this in accordance with local data privacy law requirements. If you choose to provide us with unsolicited sensitive personal data, you consent to our using the data, subject to applicable law as described in this privacy policy. The term "sensitive personal data" refers to the various categories of personal data identified by European and other data privacy laws as requiring special treatment, including in some circumstances the need to obtain explicit consent.

What about data security?

We take appropriate steps to maintain the security of personal data collected via our website. You should understand that the open nature of the Internet is such that information and personal data may flow over networks connecting you to our systems without security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended.

Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the sites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these sites, please note that these sites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies or sites. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these sites.

You can exercise the right to discontinue marketing communications to you at any time by using our Contact Us page.
