Your privacy is critically important to us. At Simpson &
Marwick we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need
it. (We can't stand services that ask you for things like your
gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
- We don't share your personal information with anyone except to
comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our
rights.
- We don't store personal information on our servers unless
required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Simpson & Marwick collects
non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web
browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser
type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of
each visitor request. Simpson & Marwick's purpose in collecting
non-personally identifying information is to better understand how
Simpson & Marwick's visitors use its website. From time to
time, Simpson & Marwick may release non-personally-identifying
information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on
trends in the usage of its website.
Simpson & Marwick also collects potentially
personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses. Simpson & Marwick does not use such information to
identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such
information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses
and discloses personally-identifying information, as described
below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Simpson & Marwick's websites choose to
interact with Simpson & Marwick in ways that require Simpson
& Marwick to gather personally-identifying information. The
amount and type of information that Simpson & Marwick gathers
depends on the nature of the interaction. Simpson & Marwick
collects such information only insofar as is necessary or
appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor's interaction with
Simpson & Marwick . Simpson & Marwick does not disclose
personally-identifying information other than as described below.
And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying
information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging
in certain website-related activities.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Simpson & Marwick discloses potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only
to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations
that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on
Simpson & Marwick's behalf or to provide services available at
Simpson & Marwick's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to
disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and
affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home
country; by using Simpson & Marwick's websites, you consent to
the transfer of such information to them. Simpson & Marwick
will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and
personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its
employees, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described
above, Simpson & Marwick discloses potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only
when required to do so by law, or when Simpson & Marwick
believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to
protect the property or rights of Simpson & Marwick , third
parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a
Simpson & Marwick website and have supplied your email address,
Simpson & Marwick may occasionally send you an email to tell
you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up
to date with what's going on with Simpson & Marwick and our
products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate
this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email
to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support
email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right
to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your
request or to help us support other users. Simpson & Marwick
takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the
unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a
visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the
website each time the visitor returns. Simpson & Marwick uses
cookies to help Simpson & Marwick identify and track visitors,
their usage of Simpson & Marwick website, and their website
access preferences. Simpson & Marwick visitors who do not wish
to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers
to refuse cookies before using Simpson & Marwick's websites,
with the drawback that certain features of Simpson & Marwick's
websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Ads
Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users
by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow
the ad server to recognise your computer each time they send you an
online advertisement to compile information about you or others who
use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among
other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe
will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use
of cookies by Simpson & Marwick and does not cover the use of
cookies by any advertisers.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Simpson &
Marwick may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in
Simpson & Marwick's sole discretion. Simpson & Marwick
encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes
to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any
change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of
such change.
