Contact form

If you choose to contact us via the contact form provided on our website, we collect the data you have entered in the comments form, and use this to respond to your message.

We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection, but this data is not used for any other purpose.

Contact form responses are stored for as long as they remain relevant ie. until the matter is dealt with, or until deleted or archived as part of our normal e-mail deletion and archival practices.

Website survey

If you choose to participate in any survey carried out on our website, we collect the data you have entered in the questionnaire.  You are under no obligation to take part in the survey, or to submit any particular information as part of it, as this is entirely optional.

No personally identifiable information is collected as part of this, unless you elect to submit such information voluntarily (for example, by including your name and contact details as part of your response).

Survey responses are stored in our survey system for one month.

Scanjet Tank Cleaning Simulator software

If you choose to download and install our free tank cleaning simulator, you are required to register your copy by submitting to us your name, e-mail address and organisation name.  We use these details to inform you about new software versions or new features available, so that you may elect to download the latest version.  We may also contact you occasionally for your feedback on the software or to communicate to you relevant information.  We store your details in a secure database until you tell us to remove them from our records.  We never release your details thus gathered to any third party.
