Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This statement discloses the information practices for StoneShot's websites, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared.
1.0 Personal information
In general, you can visit StoneShot on the internet without telling us who you are and without giving any personal information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you.
You may choose to give us personal information in a variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us information, such as your name and address or email, to correspond with you or to process a request. We intend to let you know how we will use such information before we collect it from you; if you tell us that you do not want us to use this information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect your wishes. If you give us personal information about somebody else, such as a spouse or work colleague, we will assume that you have their permission to do so.
2.0 Using and Sharing Personal Information
The following paragraphs describe in more detail how StoneShot may use your personal information and with whom we may share it.
Website requests
If you request something from an StoneShot web site, for example, a product or service, a callback, or specific marketing materials, we will use the information you provide to fulfil your request. To help us do this we may share information with others - for instance financial institutions or fulfillment agencies. We may also contact you as part of our customer satisfaction surveys or for market research purposes.
Marketing
The information you provide to StoneShot may also be used by StoneShot and selected third parties for marketing purposes. Before we use it, however, we will offer you the opportunity to choose whether or not to have your information used in this way.
Human resources
If you make a job application or enquiry you may provide us with information about yourself, such as a resume or curriculum vitae. We may use this information throughout StoneShot and its related entities for the purpose of employment consideration or your enquiry. Except where you tell us not to, we will keep the information for future consideration.
Discussion forums
If you participate in an StoneShot discussion forum or chat room, you should be aware that the information you provide there will be made broadly available to others, potentially inside or outside StoneShot, who have access to that discussion forum or chat room. Also, please recognise that individual forums and chat rooms may have additional rules and conditions. Each participant's opinion on a forum or chat room is his or her own and should not be considered as reflecting the opinion of StoneShot.
Information security and quality
We are dedicated to protecting your personal information and maintaining its quality. We implement appropriate measures and processes such as data encryption to help us to keep your information secure. We also actively aim to keep your information up-to-date through the use of web forms and preference centres.
Cookies
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our web sites to help us provide better customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we also measure visitor activity, but we do so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable. StoneShot or others on StoneShot's behalf may use this data to analyse trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner you can disable your cookies.
Online advertising
Certain companies help us deliver interactive on-line advertising such as banner ads. These companies may collect and use information about customers to help us better understand the offers, promotions, and types of advertising that are most appealing to our customers.
Email tracking
On occasion, we may personalise web sites for certain visitors. An example here is that we may pre-populate a web form using information we hold on you. The reason for this is that we want to save your time online, but also to ensure the information we hold on you is correct. An invitation to visit one of these web sites is usually presented as a personalised URL in an email, a notice on a web site registration page, or as a response to you logging on to a certain web site.
If you choose to visit one of these web sites, you are agreeing to let StoneShot collect information about your visits and also to its association with other information about you and your relationship with StoneShot. If you do not wish your information to be used in this way, do not accept the invitation to visit these sites.
Privacy technology
Technology will increasingly help give you more control over your personal information. It will also help organisations to manage their privacy practices and policies. As an information technology provider, StoneShot actively supports the development of privacy technologies to help achieve these goals and to help create greater trust and confidence in the way personal information is handled.
Links to other web sites
StoneShot web sites may contain links to other web sites. StoneShot is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those other web sites.
