When you lodge an enquiry via the Artog web site, we need to collect information about you in order to enable us to deliver our service. This information includes, but is not limited to, details such as your name, your contact details, your requirements and relevant financial information.
How we use the information
If you decide to complete an on-line form, the information that you enter into the on-line form will be collected and saved by us. The information you supply to us is used to assess your requirements and to enable relevant service providers, brokers, credit providers or other 3rd parties to contact you in response to your enquiry.
We may disclose your information to various credit providers and third parties for the following purposes:
- selecting the appropriate third party
- to try to get you the best rates available
- addressing your enquiry
- to send you marketing material for goods or services we think might interest you (whether or not related to your application)
- for administration purposes
- to allow insurance companies and finance institutions to use in making marketing analyses
- for such other purposes as we shall in our discretion determine, including for our commercial advantage
It is a condition of your use of the Artog website that you agree to allow your data to be disclosed to these third parties and for them to establish contact with you. If at any point in time you would like your saved data to be deleted from our system, please contact us and we will arrange to have your records deleted from our database.
As a user of our service, you may occasionally receive email or SMS updates from us about new products or services being offered by Artog, along with newsletters and any noteworthy changes to the website. You may always unsubscribe and opt out from receiving these messages.
Unless otherwise prohibited by law or our contractual obligations, we may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, or as requested by a governmental or law enforcement authority, or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable. Such situations may include: to perform, maintain or enforce contracts with our users or suppliers; to protect the rights or properties of Artog, our business affiliates, our users, or others; or when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing, or who may be threatening to cause, interference with or damage to our rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise; or when anyone else could be harmed by such activities.
Like most web sites, there is certain information we automatically track, including the URL that you just came from, the browser you are using and your IP address. This data is utilised to improve the services of Artog and does not include any personally identifying information.
