What kind of information Ansell Healthcare Europe collects from you, how we collect it, and why
As with most websites, Ansell Healthcare Europe tracks information in two ways. There is voluntary information that we request, and information that we track passively.
We actively solicit personal information from you at the following stages:
- when you send an invitation through our "Share the Experience" page
- by sending us your comments / questions through the Message Board
- at the request form for newsletter subscription
- at the "Contact us" form
- by inviting you to send us electronic mail messages
- during registration for promotional campaigns / samples
- when subscribing for competitions / games
The amount and type of information we collect varies from area to area, and includes name, e-mail address, street address, and telephone number, as well as certain demographic data and business information that will help us provide you with better information and products.
In order to properly maintain this Website, we (like all sites on the Internet) passively track navigational information, for example through use of session cookies.
A cookie is a small piece of information sent by the web server to a web browser on your computer, which enables the server to collect information from the browser. The use of cookies is an industry standard and many websites use them.
If you do not wish for us to collect cookies, you may set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of this Website may not be accessible or function properly.
Ansell generally does not require you to provide personally identifiable information to visit and use this Website; however, in order to participate in some activities such as competitions and sample requests, you must provide us with the information requested. We may ask during those processes for additional information not required to complete your request. Optional information will be noted at the specific area. If you decide not to provide us with the required information, we will unable to process your request. For example, if you do not provide us with your contact information when registering for sample request, we will be unable to notify you of subsequent promotional information.
Please ensure that you enter only your own details. If information relates to another individual you must obtain the okay of that individual.
