Privacy Policy
We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal
information is processed and used. We promise that we will
take steps to use your personal information only in ways
that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following
policies are only in effect for the web pages, newsletters
and opt-in announcement lists owned and operated by Tesuco.
The following discloses our Privacy Policy.
www.tesuco.co.za may track which content you access,
however, individual information on accessed content is deemed
private and is therefore not made public. This information
is only used internally as it relates to Tesuco business
processes, customer care and in the overall processes of
improving our business and service offering.
WE VALUE YOUR PARTICIPATION AND TRUST AND ARE COMMITTED TO A
NO SPAM POLICY.
What information is collected and how is it collected?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain
name and a set of numbers, which serve as that computer's
"Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a
page from www.tesuco.co.za, our web servers automatically
recognise that visitor's domain name and IP address. The
domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you
other than the IP address from which you have accessed our
site. We use this information to examine website
interactivity. Our web servers do not record e-mail
addresses of the visitors.
How we use single-pixel gifs or tracking scripts
www.tesuco.co.za may use single-pixel gif images or
tracking scripts, sometimes referred to as web bugs or web
beacons, to evaluate website interactivity and gather some
general statistical information. Tesuco may use
single-pixel gifs or tracking scripts that can track
personal information from "cookies" that may have been
previously placed on a user's computer.
What other information do we request?
We may also request your personal details, including but not
limited to e-mail address, mailing address for the purposes
of registering as a site user, conducting a survey or to
provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to
e-mail newsletters, announcement lists or information about
seminars).
Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will
clearly indicate the purpose of the enquiry before the
information is requested. We maintain a strict "no-spam"
policy. We will also not sell or rent your e-mail address to
a third party.
When you enter a contest or other promotion, we may ask for
your name, address and e-mail address so that we can
administer the contest and notify winners.
Will we disclose the information we collect to outside,
third parties?
Tesuco will disclose personal information when required by
law or in the good-faith belief that such action is
necessary to:
-
Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal
process served on www.tesuco.co.za,
-
Protect and defend the rights or property of Tesuco or
visitors to www.tesuco.co.za,
-
Identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal
notice, or the rights of third parties,
-
Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful
activities.
What else should I know about my privacy when online?
The www.tesuco.co.za website may contain links to other websites. Please check with those sites to determine their
privacy policies.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose
personal information online - for example through e-mail,
discussion lists, or elsewhere - that information can be
collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal
information online that is accessible to the public, you may
receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the
secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and
responsible whenever you're online.
This is how we will handle information we learn about you
from your visit to our website. The information we receive
depends upon what you do when visiting our site.
Automatic information
This information enables us to run site usage tools and
create statistics about our site. These statistics help us
to better understand how our site is being used and what we
can do to make it more useful to visitors.
Information you provide us
We use the information that you provide us (both online and
offline) for responding to your requests, customising the
material presented to you based on your past visits to our
web site, to communicate with you, to improve the content of
our website and to improve our service offering. The
primary goal in collecting personal information is to
provide you with customised services, features and content and to
give you an efficient personalised experience that best
meets your needs.
If you choose to identify yourself by sending us an e-mail or
completing an online form, Tesuco employees will have
access to such information in order to contact you for
direct marketing purposes. We also aggregate information on
what pages you access. Information submitted by you, such as
survey information and/or comments or feedback, may be
stored in a personally identifiable format and will only be
used for internal purposes and will not be shared with
people or organisations outside of Tesuco.
Use of "Cookies"
"Cookies" are small files that are placed on your hard drive
that assist us in providing customised and personalised
services. No personal information is stored in this "cookie".
From time to time, Tesuco may send a "cookie" to your
computer. A "cookie" is a small piece of data that is sent to
your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's
hard drive. A "cookie" can't read data off your hard disk or
read cookie files created by other sites. "Cookies" do not
damage your system. We use cookies to identify unique
website users and which areas of the Tesuco website you
have visited. This information may be used to personalise
our services to you. WE DO NOT RECORD ANY INFORMATION OTHER
THAN HOW YOU INTERACT WITH THE MANITOU WEBSITE.
You can choose whether to accept "cookies" by changing the
settings of your browser. You can reset your browser to
refuse all "cookies", or allow your browser to show you when a
"cookie" is being sent. If you choose not to accept these
"cookies", your experience at our site and other Web sites may
be diminished and some features may not work as intended.
Email Communication
Tesuco from time to time distributes an online newsletter
as well as announcements relating to Tesuco which we
believe our stakeholders will be interested in. Tesuco recognises that users may not wish to be contacted about new
or related services; therefore you may opt out of any e-mail
marketing or newsletters that may result from use of the
site. When you receive an e-mail, you will be given
instructions on how to remove yourself from that list.
All our email communications are tracked to evaluate
interaction success and to better understand how
stakeholders are responding to communications. Typically,
Tesuco uses e-mail tagging to identify which links in the
e-mail you click on and how you interact with the Tesuco
website. This information may be linked to the unique cookie
stored on your hard drive.
Your consent to this agreement
The above policies are effective as of January 01, 2010.
Tesuco reserves the right to change this policy from time
to time without prior notice.
By using the Tesuco website, you consent to the collection
and use of information by us as specified above. If we
decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those
changes on this page so that you are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances we disclose it.
