Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us at Exigent Group Limited (‘Exigent’, ‘us’ or ‘we’). This Privacy Policy details what information we collect on this website, and also the manner in which we collect store, use, transfer and/or disclose the information.

1. WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM YOU

You can visit this website without revealing any information to us about yourself.

However, there are parts of the Exigent website where we will need to collect your personal data for you to proceed. Whenever we ask you for information that enables us to identify you it will be clear that we are doing so and, in every case, you can choose how we use the information. Information of this type will only be asked for on those parts of our websites that allow transactions to be performed, or where you choose to sign up for a webinar, newsletter, white paper or other event, in contrast to those parts of our websites that are merely informational in their function. It is also needed so that we can contact and/or communicate with you if you have asked us to do so or if it is necessary as part of a particular transactional process, for example in order to validate your authorised user status in relation to a transaction.

Cookies do not detect and cannot access any information you may have on your computer.

13. PERSISTENT COOKIES

A persistent cookie remembers your computer and, by doing so, allows us to identify specific information about your visits to the site. We use Google Analytics to assess your experience on our website by storing a non-intrusive persistent cookie on your browser. This tool gathers anonymous data, which we use to continually improve our online services and information. You may set up your browser to reject these cookies – consult the help menu of your browser for details. If you block the use of cookies, you may not be able to use some of the features on our site.

14. SESSION COOKIES

Our system also uses what are known as ‘session cookies’ for the transactional areas of our website.

If you do opt out in this way you will be able to browse and make use of our website anonymously. However, you may not be able to undertake any transactions with us.
