A cookie is a small data file placed on the hard drive of your computer when you visit a website. A "session cookie" expires when you end your session (i.e. close your browser). A "persistent cookie" stores information on your hard drive so when you end your session and return to the same website at a later date, the cookie information is still available.

We may use web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about your usage of our site and interaction with emails from Gyrus Systems. For example, we may place web beacons in marketing emails that notify us when you click on a link in the email that directs you to our site, in order to improve our site and email communications.

Where we store your personal data

Our site is hosted on servers located in the United States and support is being provided by Gyrus Systems staff based in the United States. However, any personal information that we collect from you is input directly into our CRM database, which is hosted and supported in the US. For data subjects based in the European Economic Area (EEA), this means that the data that we collect from you will be transferred to, and stored outside the EEA.  It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us. If you wish to no longer receive direct marketing communication from us, you would need to opt-out from receiving such direct marketing communication from us.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is almost never completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the complete security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

We will keep a copy of any personal data obtained from you through our site or otherwise for as long as we believe is reasonably required, or such longer period as may be required for legal, audit and compliance purposes.  This does not affect your right to opt out from receiving marketing communications, as outlined above and in the section “Your rights” below.  Please note that you may request that your details are deleted from our CRM system at any point of time, however you should be aware that if your details are deleted, this will mean we will have no record of any opting out that you may have requested and that you, therefore, may receive unsolicited communications in the future.

Uses made of the information

We use information held about you in the following ways:

  • To provide you with information via post, email or telephone, products or services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes;

  • If we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
  • If Gyrus Systems or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets;
