This privacy statement sets out the basis on which we may process any personal information that we may collect about you as a visitor to any of the Sites.
A. The types of information we collect:
1. Information that you provide
This is information about you that you provide by filling in forms on the Sites (or any other form you provide Recharge Industries™), providing a business card (or similar), while attending a Recharge Industries™ related event or corresponding with Recharge Industries™ by telephone, post, email or otherwise. It may include, for example, your name, address, email address and telephone number; information about your business relationship with Recharge Industries™; information about your professional role, background and interests; and information relating to events.
2. Information that our websites and other systems collect about you
If you visit our Sites they may automatically collect some information about you and your visit, including the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet and some other information such as your browser type and version and the pages on the sites that you visit.
Our Sites may also download "cookies" to your device; Cookies are small files that a website sends to your computer or device while you are viewing the website, or other technical methods to track visitor usage, including web beacons, which are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of a website. We and other companies use cookies and web beacons for a variety of purposes. For instance, when you return to our websites after logging in, cookies provide information to the sites so that the sites may remember who you are. We use web beacons and other technologies to analyze the traffic patterns on the sites, such as the frequency with which our users visit various parts of the sites.
If you exchange emails, telephone conversations or other electronic communications with our employees and other staff members, our information technology systems may record details of those conversations, sometimes including their content.
3. Other information
Our Sites may contain links to websites operated by third-parties, and your personal information may be collected by those third-parties when you use their websites.
Should you choose to visit these third-party sites, you should review their privacy policies to ensure you understand and are comfortable with their practices concerning your information. We do not accept, and do disclaim, any responsibility for the privacy policies and information collection, use, and sharing practices of any third-party website (whether or not such site is linked on or to our Sites). These links are provided to you for convenience purposes only, and you access them at your own risk.
Some of our third-party partners may ask you to provide personal information on their websites and may share such personal information with us, as governed by their respective privacy policies.
We may link the information that we collect automatically with the information you provide us, and we may combine the information we collect online with information we collect offline or that is collected by third-parties.

We may use your information for particular purposes including the following

to operate, administer and improve our websites and premises and other aspects of the way in which we conduct our operations;
to protect our business from fraud, money-laundering, breach of confidence, theft of proprietary materials and other financial or business crimes; and
to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations and bring and defend legal claims.
We may use information for any purpose if the information does not identify you and cannot be combined with other information accessible to us to identify you. For example, we may prepare aggregated reports about how visitors tend to interact with the Sites for research about the use of the Sites and how the Sites could be improved, from which your interactions with the Sites cannot be singled out.
