Effective December 2, 2007
Privacy Statement
Wimico respects our customers' rights to privacy. We hold your detailed customer information in confidence. This policy applies to information held by Wimico and its affiliated companies.
Asking for Your Information
There are times when we may ask our customers for personal information such as your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address. This information is used in fulfilling information requests made to Wimico as well as sending service e-mails that contain product & service information and other relevant information about your account. Your name and e-mail address may be collected and
used in conjunction with other information, such as your occupation, hobbies and other specifics. This information assists us in offering products and services we think you'd like to hear about.
If you prefer not to be contacted, please follow the unsubscribe instructions in the e-mail, or contact Wimico at +27 11 392-2277. Information collected with our “E-mail This Page to a Friend” Web feature is used one time for that purpose only.
When we ask for personal information for any reason, we will provide a link to this policy statement to make our intentions clear.
Communication Preferences
If you wish to update or correct the personal information you provided to Wimico, please call +27 11 392-2277. To add your name to any of the Wimico “Do Not E-Mail,” “Do Not Mail” or “Do Not Call”
lists for marketing communications, please call +27 11 392-2277.
Personal Information Privacy
Wimico will take all appropriate steps to keep your personal information confidential, including limiting access to customer information databases, communicating this policy statement to all
Wimico employees and establishing and enforcing penalties for violating this statement. Wimico will not sell, rent or give away customer information to other companies for use in selling others' products or services. We do, however, use other third parties to provide us with necessary
services. When you request a service or purchase a product from Wimico, we will share your personal information as necessary for that third party to provide that service. These third-party service
providers are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose.
We gather personal information from our customers so we can better develop our relationship with those customers. Occasionally, we seek customer comments on our products and services. These comments
allow us to determine which products and services our customers should be made aware of based on their specific needs.
We will proactively communicate with customers via e-mail or other online delivery devices to provide offers and information we believe will be of interest. Customers who no longer wish to receive
these communications should inform us and we will remove their names from our mailing lists. Wimico will be judicious in the use of e-mail and paper mail to communicate with customers, putting
ourselves in the place of the recipients of our mail and treating our customers as we ourselves would like to be treated. If you would like to be taken off Wimico’s various marketing programs,
please call +27 11 392-2277, and you will be unsubscribed as you request.
Our Web site shares usage information about site visitors with reputable third-party companies for targeting our Internet banner advertisements on this site and other sites, as well as for
gathering aggregate information about site traffic and usage. For these purposes, we and our third-party companies note some of the pages you visit on our Web site using pixel tags (also called
transparent gifs). The information collected by our third-party advertisers using these pixel tags is not personally identifiable. Some of the information collected by our third-party analytics provider may be personally identifiable; however, our provider is contractually precluded from selling, licensing or conveying any such information to any third party or from using that information
in any way outside Wimico’s own privacy policy. View more information about our third-party analytics provider, including how to exclude/include your sessions from data collection.
If users have questions or concerns regarding this statement, they should call +27 11 392-2277.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to substantively change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of
changes to the information we collect, how we use that information, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information
in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify users by providing 30 days notice on www.wimico.co.za.
Cookies
Wimico currently uses “cookies” on our site. Our cookies tag each visitor's browser with a random, unique number. The cookie simply assigns a number and does not disclose any personal information
about the person using the browser. By noting where these uniquely numbered browsers go on our site, we can study traffic patterns and improve our site. |
