The information referred to in this Website Privacy Policy may be shared between members of Merlin Software and also with Merlin Software authorised dealers.

Cookies

On other pages on the Site, the web server at Merlin Software collects “cookies”. The purpose of these is to provide you with a customised service from a more effective website. A “cookie” is a text file that the Merlin Software web server places on your computer while you browse the Site. The Merlin Software web server can later retrieve these cookies if you visit again.

The Merlin Software web server allocates a cookie to each Internet browser that visits the Site. This cookie does not allow Merlin Software to collect any personally identifiable information about you. The Merlin Software web server uses this cookie:

  • to allocate an unique identification number to your Internet browser (although we cannot identify you from this information);
  • to identify pages you have accessed on the Site;
  • to determine if you have previously visited the Site;
  • to ensure that any customised settings that you made in a previous visit are retrieved.

If you wish to make full use of the Site, you should configure your Internet browser to accept cookies. If you do not, you will not have the benefit of some of these customised features.

  • the IP address of your server;
  • your top level domain name (eg. .gov, .com, .org, etc);

Use of personal Information

Merlin Software will only use personal information that you submit using the Site for the following purposes:

          • to answer any information request that you make;
          • if you choose to permit us to do so, to send you promotional and other information about Merlin Software, their products and services, either by e-mail or by some other means;
          • for security purposes;
          • to comply with any legal requirement.

If you complete an online form on the Site, Merlin Software will only receive the information you enter, if you actually submit the form. If you do not submit the form (for example if you log out of the form before submitting the information), the information you have entered on the form up to that point will not be received by the Merlin Software web server. However it may be stored by the Internet browser on the computer you are using, and you should check the settings on the computer you are using, especially if third parties can access it.

Merlin Software will not share any personal information that it collects from the Site with third parties without your consent unless:

          • it is required by law or for law enforcement;
          • it is necessary to implement the Merlin Software Website Terms of Use;
          • it is necessary to protect the rights or property of Merlin Software, any user of the Site, or any member of the public; or
          • it is necessary to lessen a serious and imminent threat to a person’s health safety or welfare, or a serious threat to public health or safety.

Merlin Software will not, without your consent, disclose or use the information for a secondary purpose except where that other purpose is related to the purpose for which you gave us the information, and there is a reasonable expectation that Merlin Software would disclose or use the information in those circumstances.

Failure to provide Merlin Software with requested personal information might restrict Merlin Software’ ability to deliver any requested information to you.

 

Security Measures

The Site does not provide facilities for the secure transmission of information across the Internet. Accordingly you should be aware that there are risks associated with transmitting information over the Internet, and that no one can guarantee that information passing over the Internet will not be intercepted or used by unauthorised third parties.

To prevent unauthorised access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information that it has collected from users of the Site, Merlin Software has put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
