Information Collection

Aurora Scientific is the sole owner of the information collected on this Site. Aurora Scientific collects information from our users at several different points on our Site. Information is collected for the purpose of responding to visitors inquiries (such as name and contact details provided when requesting product information) or for general marketing activities (such as keeping you informed about new products, trade shows or other news via a newsletter). Non-personal information is recorded by the standard operation of our servers. Such information may include: the name of the ISP from which you access the internet, the Search Engine and keywords you used to locate this Site, the date and time you accessed the Site, the internet address of the Site from which you enter our Site and where you go after you leave our Site. This information is used to measure and monitor the use of our Site and to improve its content. Data which would personally identify you is known only when voluntarily submitted.

Personal data held by us will not be released to third parties except where such disclosure is required by law.

In some areas of the Site we may ask for visitor information to improve the type and quality of our services and products and to tailor them to suit your needs.

We also collect personal information from customers who wish to use restricted services on our Site such as obtaining software updates and getting access to teaching experiment materials.

In some circumstances, where it is impractical to obtain specific prior consent, we may use the personal information you have provided to advise you of our promotional activities. When we send you information, you will be given an opportunity to elect not to receive any further communications from us. If you do this, your name and details will be removed from future communications.

If you have any concerns about the privacy of your data, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your feedback.
