| Information on data protection |
The protection of personal data is of utmost importance to us. We would therefore like to reassure you, and inform you how we protect your privacy when you give your personal data to us.
Depending on the nature of the information you provide, certain legislative protections may apply to our processing of your information including the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC.
It goes without saying that we shall comply with data protection regulations, but in addition, in giving you the following information, we would like to commit ourselves to using your data in a responsible way, making sure that your privacy is protected at any time. We want you to feel safe when visiting our website.
|
| What information do we collect? |
We occasionally conduct research on our customers and their purchasing trends based on the information provided to us through web registration, purchasing activity and other promotional activity. From data surveys and our computer files we use software analysis tools to better understand and serve our users.
|
| Why we use data |
We want to continuously improve our service and make our website work better for you. We need to know which pages of our website are visited most and for the longest time, so that we can optimize the contents according to your demands. Personal information is used by us for marketing, attracting prospective customers, conducting surveys and providing information.
The better we understand what you want, the faster we can provide you with the desired information on our website.
|
| General information |
If you visit our web pages information of general nature is collected automatically. This information includes, for example, such things as the kind of web browser, the operating system which is used, or the domain names of your internet service providers. Such information is collected anonymously and does not allow any conclusions as to your identity.
This kind of information is generated when visiting any other website, and so it is not a function specific of our website.
|
| Personal information |
If you are asked to give personal information on our pages, such as for example your name, address or phone number, this is subject to special provisions, which are indicated to you in the following wording:
We will use this data for marketing purposes for Scientific & Chemical Supplies Ltd, to attract prospective customers, conduct surveys and provide information. Your data will not be passed on to any third parties. This shall not apply to service providers acting on behalf of Scientific & Chemical Supplies Ltd. Apart from the data which you give to us, we will use information derived from the way in which you use our service to be able to lead you to the information which could be interesting for you as fast as possible, and to constantly optimize our service.
|
| Do we share the information we receive? |
In order to carry on business, certain functions such as document disposal, storage and disaster recovery may be provided to us by other companies and/or third parties. Where this is the case we will enter into an agreement with the party providing the service to us that reflect our commitments under this Privacy Policy.
We will otherwise only share your information with other companies or third parties if we have your prior consent or unless required by law, local regulators or law enforcement officers.

| The use of cookies |
Cookies are text files containing information which makes it possible to identify repeated visitors exclusively for the duration of their visit to our web pages. Cookies are stored on the hard disk of your computer and do not cause any damage there. The cookies of our internet pages do not contain any personal data on you. Cookies will save you having to enter data several times, facilitate the transmission of specific contents and will help us to identify those parts of our online service that are particularly popular. This will enable us, among other things, to adapt our web pages exactly to your requirements.
If you want, you can deactivate the use of cookies any time by changing the preferences of your browser but you do need to ensure that you do not disable the session cookies as these are needed by most transactional sites in order for you to checkout. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to see how you can make these changes.
|
| Security |
We employ technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data you give to us from any deliberate or un-deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are improved and adapted on a regular basis to take advantage of new developments.
Unfortunately no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we will strive to protect your personal information once we have received it, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of the transmission of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
