Who we are
Our website address is: http://human-factors.com.au. Our business is located in Australia, although the website is hosted by a provider located in the USA.
Your privacy is very important to us. At Philippe Consulting P/L we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
- 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 our site.
It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Philippe Consulting P/L 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. Further details are outlined below.
Philippe Consulting P/L also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Philippe Consulting P/L only discloses user IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Gathering Aggregated Statistics
Philippe Consulting P/L may collect non-personally identifying statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its website. Our purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how our visitors use our website. For instance, Philippe Consulting P/L may monitor which pages are most visited. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. Philippe Consulting P/L may display this non-identified information publicly or provide it to others.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Philippe Consulting P/L collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. To be honest, we wouldn’t know how to identify you through this information, but should mention that this is picked up through the same Analytics Program that gathers aggregated data on website visits (mentioned above).
Certain visitors to the Philippe Consulting P/L website choose to interact with our Company in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. However, this is not through input of any information into our website. It would usually be by either emailing us or phoning us via contact details we provide on our website. When you contact us, the amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, those who wish to receive information via email, we collect their email address. In each case, Philippe Consulting P/L collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with us. Philippe Consulting P/L 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 activities with us.
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. Philippe Consulting P/L may use cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of our website, and their website access preferences. Philippe Consulting P/L visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Philippe Consulting P/L’s website, with the drawback that certain features of our website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Philippe Consulting P/L discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Philippe Consulting P/L’s behalf or to provide services available at Philippe Consulting P/L’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Philippe Consulting P/L’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Philippe Consulting P/L will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Philippe Consulting P/L discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Philippe Consulting P/L believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Philippe Consulting P/L, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of our website and have supplied your email address, Philippe Consulting P/L 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 our business and our products, but 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; however this request would be de-identified as much as practical. Philippe Consulting P/L takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Business Transfers
If Philippe Consulting P/L, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Philippe Consulting P/L goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Philippe Consulting P/L may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
What rights you have over your data
If we add the capacity to have an account on this site (to which you sign up), or to add comments (and you have left any), you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Philippe Consulting P/L may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Philippe Consulting P/L’s sole discretion. Philippe Consulting P/L 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. The most likely foreseeable changes would be related to website changes such that visitors could add comments or upload media. The potential impact of these changes are listed below.
Comments
We have not created the option to leave comments on our website. If we provide this option in the future, when visitors leave comments on the site we would collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. If we provide the ability for users to add comments, we recommend you check this privacy page for further updates.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
Currently there is no ability to upload images to our site. If we make this option available, please be aware that if you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Ads
Philippe Consulting P/L does not currently have ads appear on our websites. Should this occur in future, 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 recognize 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 Philippe Consulting P/L and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
How long we retain your data
If we allow users to leave a comment in future, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
