Introduction

This website belongs to DL Consulting (DLC) of Innovation Park, 9 Melody Lane, Hamilton, New Zealand.

This Privacy Policy describes the types of Personal Data that may be collected or processed when you use this website, why we collect that data, how it may be used, and what your rights are with regard to that data.

What kinds of information do we collect and how do we use it?

Usage Log Data

We receive information when you view content on this website, which we refer to as “Usage Log Data”. This Usage Log Data includes information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, and pages visited.

We use Usage Log Data to aid in providing secure, reliable, and robust performance (e.g. by identifying and blocking unusual activity that may otherwise affect performance for other users).

Usage Log Data is also used in some cases to provide aggregated statistics including how many users are accessing the website, which pages are most popular, approximately where users access the website from, etc.

Veridian Newsletter

If you choose to opt-in to receiving our newsletter we will send information to your registered email address from time to time. You can opt out of receiving these communications at any time, either by clicking the appropriate link that appears at the bottom of all our email communications, or by contacting us at contact@veridiansoftware.com

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to collect and analyse aggregated usage statistics. These statistics do not identify specific individuals. Usage statistics are important as they allow us to gain insight into which content and features are most useful and interesting to users.

To comply with Google’s terms and conditions we ensure that no “personally identifiable information” is sent to Google Analytics by this website. Google Analytics does however collect the IP addresses of those using this website, and IP addresses are considered to be Personal Data from the perspective of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data.

To find out more about how Google uses the data it collects via Google Analytics when you use this website see https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/

While it isn’t possible to opt out of Google Analytics from within this website, Google does provide a tool that allows you to do so. For more information see https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Cookies

A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the site again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some of the features of this website may not function properly without cookies.

This website itself does not use any cookies that include Personal Data. That is, cookies may be used to personalise this website for you, but none of those cookies contain information that could identify you, or which can be used to track your activity once you leave this website.

The third-party Google Analytics tool also uses cookies, and those cookies may contain Personal Data and may be used to track your activity across multiple websites. For more information please see the Google Analytics section of this Privacy Policy.

Who will your Personal Data be shared with?

We do not share any Personal Data we collect from you with any third party.

International Transfers of your Personal Data

This website is hosted in the United States, so you should be aware (especially if you are using this website from within the European Union) that any Personal Data we collect from you will be transmitted to our hosting platform in the United States. In some cases we may also transmit your data to New Zealand.

Protecting your Personal Data

The security of your data is important to us and we work hard to ensure this website and the systems on which it relies are as secure as is practically possible. Having said that, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can ever be guaranteed as 100% secure.

Your rights

You have the right to access any Personal Data we retain about you, to correct any errors in that data, or to delete it all, should you choose to do so. You also have the right to withdraw consent that you previously granted (e.g. to opt out of receiving communications, having previously opted in).
