Strategic Grants Pty Ltd is committed to conducting its business in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with the highest ethical standards. We act in accordance with the Privacy Principles outlined by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and all other legislative requirements in relation to the management of personal information. Strategic Grants is committed to protecting your privacy while you are online and we safeguard your personal information – ensuring that confidentiality is respected and information is stored securely.
Using our Website
This Privacy Statement applies to your use of the website of Strategic Grants at “www.strategicgrants.co.nz“, any of our associated sites and any of our facilities via this website. For statistical purposes, when you use this website, our Internet Service Provider (ISP) will record and log the following information about your visit – your server address and top level domain name (e.g. .com, .gov, etc), the date and time of your visit, the pages and documents you access during your visit, and the type of browser you are using.
Our website management agent may use statistical data collected by our ISP to evaluate the effectiveness of this website. We will not attempt to identify individual users and we will not collect personal information unless you provide it to us. However, we are obliged to allow law enforcement agencies and other government agencies with the relevant legal authority to inspect our ISP logs if there is an investigation.
Use of Information Collected
Any personal information which you provide to us will be used for the purpose that you provided it for. For instance, if you request information via this website, we will only use the personal information you provide (e.g. your return email address) for the purpose of responding to your information request. Your personal information will not be used for marketing purposes or any other purpose without your consent. Personal information such as your email address is not collected unless you provide it to us.
Notice and Consent
You may have asked to receive information about the products and services offered by Strategic Grants on an ongoing basis. If, at any point you no longer wish to receive information on these products and services, then please email us at [email protected]
Storage and Security
Strategic Grants maintains strict standards and procedures to prevent unauthorised access to your personal information and ensure correct use of information. Whilst we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of any information that you transmit to us over the internet and you do so at your own risk. However, once we receive your transmission, we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your information is secure on our system.
When you enter sensitive financial information (such as credit card numbers) on our website, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). When credit card details are collected, we simply pass them on to be processed as required. We never permanently store credit card details.
Software Integrations
Where the GEMS – Grants Expertise Management System software is integrated with third party software, all data transfers will be one directional from GEMS into the third party software system. GEMS will only ‘push’ grants data into the third party software system. GEMS will not access any data in the third party software system beyond that which it is necessary to interrogate in order to establish a connection to the third party system, to effectively populate the third party system with GEMS data. In no instance will GEMS ‘pull’ data from the third party software system to store that data within GEMS or any other Strategic Grants system.
Use of Internet Cookies
A “cookie” is a device that allows our server to identify and interact more effectively with your computer. Cookies do not identify individual users, but they do identify your ISP and your browser type. Strategic Grants may use cookies to assist in site functionality or with website visitor statistics, but we do not store any personal details when this is done. If you do not wish to receive cookies, please configure your browser to reject all cookies and to notify you when a cookie is used. However, please note that if you configure your browser to not receive any cookies, a certain level of functionality of this website and other websites may be lost. The choice remains with the user.
