A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that detail their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information is tied to the users’ personally identifiable information to provide offers and improve the content of the Platform for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user’s visit to the Platform, and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them. We do not share your profile with other third parties.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our Platform. We use both session ID cookies [and] persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
We use cookies to enhance the user’s experience on the Platform. By setting a cookie on our Platform, users would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our Platform. If users reject the cookie, they may still use our Platform. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our Platform. For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our sweepstakes, contests or monthly drawings that take place. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on the Platform.
While we do not offer an opt-out on the Platform for cookies, browsers provide you with information and control over cookies. You can set your web browser to alert you when a cookie is being used. You can also get information on the duration of the cookie and what server your data is being returned to. You then have the opportunity to accept or reject the cookie. Additionally, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or accept only cookies returned to the originating servers. Users can generally disable the cookie feature on their browser without affecting their ability to use the Platform, except in some cases where cookies are used as an essential security feature necessary for transaction completion.
How Do We Use Your Data?
To Engage In Transactions For Service: Your name, address, email, purchase details, and credit card/payment information may be collected and stored as part of the transaction history and may be used by us to enable us to perform the Services.
To Provide Future Service And Support. Information collected for this purpose is both contact data and information related to products and service/support requested. This information is also used to provide service, product updates, and similar notices.
To Select Content. Data may be collected to help create web site content and navigation that is most relevant and user friendly. This includes data collected as a result of site navigation, as well as data provided in forms.
To Respond To User Inquiries And Requests For Information. This data includes registrations for online newsletters, opt-in mailing lists and specific requests for further information.
To Respond To Regulators. Data is used to respond to law enforcement organizations, government officials, or third parties when compelled by subpoena, court order, or applicable law, or to report or prevent suspected fraudulent or illegal activity in the use of the Services. We will notify Customer of the information request or submission as, and if, allowed.
When You Consent to Share Information to/for Relevant Programs or Online Accounts. To provide various communities, such as resellers, with relevant product alerts and updates. These updates are related to product releases, prices, terms, special offers and associated campaigns. This data is sent when the program member signs up for the relevant program or online account.
For Gentick Electronics Pty (Ltd)’s Marketing to You. We may use information from user purchases and user-specified requirements to provide you with timely and pertinent notices regarding product releases and service developments that address your needs and specified requirements and/or which are similar to services previously purchased by the user from us.
To Use Log Files. Like most standard web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the Platform, track users’ movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information. We use a tracking utility called ‘ClickTracks’ that uses log files to analyze user movement.
To Use Clear Gifs. We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on the Platform by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. The main difference between the two is that clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear gifs are not tied to users’ personally identifiable information. Clear Gifs can “work with” existing cookies on a computer if they are both from the same Platform or advertising company. That means, for example, that if a person visited ‘www.companyX.com’, which uses an advertising company’s clear gif, the web site would match the clear gif’s identifier and the advertising company’s cookie ID number, to show the past online behavior for that computer. In addition, we use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by the recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If users would like to opt-out of these emails, please see the Opt-out section.
For Special Offers. We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
For Newsletters. If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address.
For Service Announcements. On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our Service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email.
For Customer Service. We may communicate with you on a regular basis to provide the Services and any other requested services, and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the users wishes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not transfer information to any of our agents, processors, or sub-processors unless we first either: (i) ascertain that the recipient is subject to an adequacy decision (such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU–US DPF, or another applicable adequacy finding); (ii) ascertain that the recipient is subject to applicable DP Laws as defined at the end of this Privacy Policy; or (iii) enter into a written agreement (including, where relevant, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum, or an equivalent mechanism) requiring that the recipient provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required under applicable data privacy laws.
No. Gentick Electronics Pty (Ltd), utilizes Google and Apple to process all financial transactions and Gentick Electronics Pty (Ltd), is not provided with any data or personal information related to your transaction.
We will only share your data for the limited marketing purposes as set forth in this Privacy Policy and with other vendors for purposes of performing the Services and operation of the Platform.
We may share your data in an aggregated, de-identified manner with third-party marketing companies as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

We may provide your personal information to third-party payment processors or order fulfillment vendors for purposes of providing the Services to you. We may also need to share your personal information for purposes of disclosing to law enforcement if required by law. We do not share your personal information for advertising purposes.
It is necessary for us to use your personal information to perform our obligations in accordance with any contract that we may have with you or it is in our legitimate interest or a third party’s legitimate interest to use personal information in such a way to ensure that we provide the Services in the best way that we can. We have a legitimate business interest to create business opportunities for our company in sharing aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers that may be based on your aggregated, de-identified personal information. This is not linked to any personally identifiable information. We also have a legitimate business interest to share your personal information with third party vendors that are necessary to fulfill any orders that you make on the Platform.

The Service is not targeted towards, nor intended for use by, anyone under the age of 18. We do not collect personal identifying information from any person we actually know is a minor under the age of 18. In jurisdictions that set a different age of digital consent (for example, ages 13–16 under Article 8 of the GDPR depending on the EU/EEA member state, age 13 under the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), or as required under POPIA), we will not knowingly process the personal information of a child below that age without verifiable parental or guardian consent. If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, please contact us at michael@gentick.co.za and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

In the event Gentick Electronics Pty (Ltd). goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

If as a result of the business transition, the users’ personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.

These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country.

This is up to user's choice as it will help users to keep track of maintainance. Any use of photos with your likeness is subject to the terms of our Terms of Use.
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to the Platform’s policy page, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected.
If we are going to use your data in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify you via email. However, Gentick Electronics Pty (Ltd), strives to maintain a static data collection and processing process and will make best efforts to comply with this Privacy Policy as of the initial collection date of any of your personal information and only to make such changes that increase the protection of your personal information. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user data already stored in our database, we will notify you by email or post a prominent notice on the user area notifying users of the change. In some cases, when we post the notice, we will also email users who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to describe how new Platform features affect our use of your data and to let you know of new control and preference features that we provide.
