Information collected and how it is used

Product information

When you request product information, you are asked to provide your name, together with your mailing and/or email address. These details are retained, allowing us to provide you with the information you request. You may be allocated a customer reference number (if you do not already have one); you should use this number where possible in all future communication as this helps us to ensure that you continue to receive relevant information in the future.

Product purchase

When you purchase a product or service, you are asked to provide your name, telephone number, invoicing and shipping addresses, and your email address if you have one. This allows us to correctly process and dispatch your order, and to keep you informed of your order status.

Product registration

When you register a software product, you are asked to provide your name, address, telephone and fax numbers, email address and customer reference number. This registration information is used to enrol you on the technical support program, and to help us to provide you with timely and relevant information about product changes and updates in the future. It will not be used by or sold to any other third party.

Technical support request

When you submit a request for technical support, or an enhancement suggestion or other product comment, you may be asked for your name, customer reference number, and/or email address and/or telephone or fax number. This allows us to ensure your details are directed as quickly as possible to the relevant staff.

Technical data

In the course of the investigation of technical problems, it is occasionally necessary for our engineers to have access to the original data. In this case you will be asked to make this data available to us, on the strict understanding that WestDev guarantees that this data will only be used for the purposes of locating the cause of, and determining the resolution for, such technical problems.

Data made available to us in this way will at no time be disclosed to any third party in any shape or form. If necessary, we can at your request undertake to destroy all copies of such data once the investigation into the technical problem is complete.

Protecting the information collected

WestDev Ltd guarantees not to make available (by way of trade, sell, rent, loan or other means) any of your personal information to third parties, unless you have given us prior consent in writing.

Only authorised WestDev staff have access to your information. All stored information is held within a protected environment, and all security issues are continually under review.

Updating information

To help us keep you informed, and provide you with the best service possible, it is helpful to us if you can let us know about any changes in your details. This includes changes of address, company name, telephone number, email address, and so on. You may do this either by sending us an email, or by using the online registration form.

From time to time we send out mail-shots targeted at specific groups of people. If at any time you wish to be removed from our mailing lists, you only have to ask us. You can do this by to sending an email to us, quoting your customer reference number. Alternatively, you can contact us by telephone, fax or post. We will make every possible effort to comply with your request.
