At OTC Ireland, we value our relationship with our customers and visitors to our Website, and we are committed to responsible information handling practices. We take our customers' privacy seriously, and want you to feel at ease whenever you visit our Website, access our online services, or participate in our online offerings. Although the various sections of our Website feature different products and services, they all share the online privacy policy outlined below. For more detailed information on how we handle online data, see the specific privacy statements under the links below:
Our approach to responsible information handling is founded on the Fair Information Practices. In line with these, we have a policy of openness about our information practices and other privacy issues, allowing individuals to make informed decisions regarding personally identifiable information. When you visit our Website, we may ask you to provide data that allows you to participate more fully in our online offerings and services. Whenever we collect personal information, we let you know what is being collected, how it is collected, for what purpose(s) it is collected, and to whom it may be disclosed. We also indicate when information is necessary to provide you with the specific service you require. Whenever we request information that is not required and entirely voluntary, we make this clear so that you know it is not needed to provide the requested service.
To ensure that the content of our Website is tailored to our customers' requirements, otcireland.com collects aggregated site-visitation statistics using cookies. We do not track individuals' use of the site. When someone visits the site, a cookie is placed on their machine (if it is set to accept cookies) or is read if they have previously visited the site. Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, or action tags, assist in delivering the cookie. This technology tells us how many visitors clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics) on a otcireland.com Web page. We do not use this technology to access your personally identifiable information on Willtek.com; we use this tool only to compile aggregated statistics about Willtek.com Web site usage. We do not share tracking information outside OTC Ireland, and do not allow other companies to place clear gifs on our sites.
You may browse our Website without disclosing personal information. However, if you want to receive our online products and services, or participate in other online activities (e.g., surveys and contests), we may ask you to provide us with information about yourself. This information is optional and is not required to visit our sites. When you provide us with personally identifiable information that may be used for secondary purposes (i.e., uses not related to the purpose for which the information was collected), we always give you the opportunity to opt-out of such uses.
We have a variety of mechanisms that allow you to modify and update the contact information you have given us, and are currently developing more options for updating personal data. The privacy statements on our Website keep you informed of the options available for modifying the contact information you have provided.
We operate this Website in line with recognised industry standards and deploy security mechanisms to protect personally identifiable information against unauthorised access and misuse. Furthermore, we take the appropriate measures to ensure that the information used to process your request is accurate and up-to-date.
otcireland.com will occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the "last updated" date at the top of the privacy statement. otcireland.com will draw your attention to any material changes to this statement by means of a prominent message on the Website.
