Collection of Your Personal Information
AUTHENTIC collects personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, home or work address, and telephone number. You may provide that to AUTHENTIC through our Website, so that we may correspond with you.
AUTHENTIC may also collect demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your postal code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favourites.
AUTHENTIC may also automatically collect information about your computer hardware and software such as your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring web site addresses. This information can be used by AUTHENTIC to better understand Website usage, and assess the operation and quality of the Website.
Note that any personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data that you disclose through public message boards and blogs that AUTHENTIC may offer or access, may be collected and used by others.
AUTHENTIC is not responsible for the privacy policies or other content on any website other than the Website of AUTHENTIC. You are responsible for the links to other websites and their privacy policies governing the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.
To initiate and maintain an ongoing business relationship beyond the use of the Website, there is a Client Privacy Policy. Further personal information is collected, used and disclosed to enable the provision of agreed Client services.
