The information we collect automatically is grouped by its purpose into one of three categories, either:
- operating the Website; or
- measurement; or
- advertising.
Automatic Data Collection for Operating the Website
Operating the Website includes for the purposes of:
- delivering its pages;
- allowing you to participate in any interactive features on our Website;
- processing and logging your requests;
- maintaining the Website and resolving any technical issues that may occur in its operation;
- investigating and preventing illegal activities; and may include
- personalising the Website for you
including by:
- processing and recording the pages you request as you land on them and navigate between them;
- logging information about the software and equipment you use to request pages;
- storing information about your preferences, thus allowing us to customise the Website according to your individual interests; and
- recognising you when you return to our Website.
Automatic Data Collection for Measurement
Measurement includes for the purposes of:
- improving our Website’s technical performance (for example, the speed with which its pages are loading for its visitors);
- improving its content performance (for example, where unpopular content may be revealed as having been produced poorly than normal, or reflect the changing needs of our visitors);
- testing new versions of the Website (wholly or partially) on a sample of its audience, and measuring the differences in performance between the versions. This involves the storage of information about which version of the website you’ve seen.
Measurement rarely involves the study of any individual, but statistical techniques in measurement do rely on personal data.
Automatic Data Collection for Advertising
Advertising includes for the purposes of collecting information about your online activities on the Website and across third-party websites or other online services so that:
- Devatium can notify you about changes to any products or services we offer or provide;
- Devatium can show advertising;
- this advertising may be shown to you and personalised in relation to your previous behaviour;
- Devatium can measure the delivery and performance of the advertising it places; and
- Devatium can use reporting on the Website’s visitors, including using data collected from across third-party websites, to inform marketing plans and decisions.
3. With whom do we share your information?
We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.
We may disclose personal data that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy:

- To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganisation, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concerning or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about our Website users is among the assets transferred.
- To third parties to market their products or services to you if you have not opted out of these disclosures. We contractually require these third parties to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

6. How do we protect your personal information?
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, change, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on secure technology.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to our Website. Any transmission you make of personal data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.
7. Global Business

8. Do Not Track Policy
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that you can set in your browser. DNT is a way for you to signal to websites and services that you do not want certain information about your webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information we collect and that is why we provide you with choices including those on the privacy options page. But we do not guarantee any recognition or response to any DNT signals as internet industry consensus is still being sought on the meaning and usefulness of the DNT browser setting, and how to interpret its signal. For more information about DNT signals, you may visit www.allaboutdnt.com.
