What personally identifiable information does SPTW collect from me?
SPTW does not collect private or personal information from this web site, except where you willingly provide it.

If you contact SPTW we may keep a record of that correspondence. SPTW occasionally asks users to complete surveys that we use for research purposes. Wherever SPTW collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.

What are "cookies" and does SPTW use them?
A "cookie" is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. SPTW uses "cookies" solely for the purposes of enabling a more efficient navigation system while you are using our site. We do not use this "cookie" to collect information about the user.

With whom does SPTW share my information?
SPTW will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission.

What is the SPTW policy on allowing me to update, correct, or delete my personally identifiable information?
You may edit any personal information that SPTW holds on you by contacting us via phone, fax, or e-mail. Your information can be updated, corrected or deleted at your request at any time.

How does SPTW protect my personal information?
As with all information, SPTW will never rent or sell your personal information.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, unless it is processed through a Secure Credit Card System such as that provided by Digitise New Zealand. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, SPTW cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us via email or customer response form. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
