WEBSITE VISITORS

Like most website operators, SolidScan 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. SolidScan’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how SolidScan’s visitors use its website. From time to time SolidScan may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
SolidScan also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. SolidScan does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

GATHERING OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

Certain visitors to SolidScan’s websites choose to interact with MSL in ways that require SolidScan to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that SolidScan gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.

AGGREGATED STATISTICS

SolidScan may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. For instance, SolidScan may monitor the most popular blogs on the SolidScan website. SolidScan may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, SolidScan does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

PROTECTION OF CERTAIN PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

SolidScan discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on SolidScan’s behalf or to provide services available at SolidScan’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home country; by using SolidScan’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
SolidScan will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described above, SolidScan discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when SolidScan believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of SolidScan, third parties or the public at large. If you are a user of a SolidScan website and have supplied your email address, SolidScan 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 SolidScan, our products and technical information that is directly relevant to our market sectors.
We primarily use our various blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example 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. MSL takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
