Privacy Policy

Automated Express PTY LTD AUTOEX is committed to protecting the online privacy of the users of this website (“Website”). As such, this Privacy Policy has been written in order to allow you to understand Automated Express’s policy regarding your privacy, as well as how your personal information will be handled when using the Website. This Privacy Policy will also provide you with information so that you are able to consent to the processing of your personal data in an explicit and informed manner, where appropriate.

In general, any information and data which you provide to Automated Express over the Website, or which is otherwise gathered via the Website by Automated Express, in the context of the use of Automated Express’s services (“Services”), will be processed by Automated Express in a lawful, fair and transparent manner. To this end, and as further described below, Automated Express takes into consideration internationally recognised principles governing the processing of personal data, such as purpose limitation, storage limitation, data minimisation, data quality and confidentiality.

When you use the Website, Automated Express will collect and process information regarding you (as an individual) which allows you to be identified either by itself, or together with other information which has been collected. Automated Express may also be able to collect and process information regarding other persons in this same manner, if you choose to provide it to Automated Express.

This information may be classified as “Personal Data”, and can be collected by Automated Express if you choose to provide it or simply by analysing your behaviour on the Website.

In various sections of the Website, you will be asked to submit information such as your name, phone / mobile numbers, e-mail address, gender, date of birth, country of residence and address, as well as, in certain cases, information related to the company you currently work for and your position in that company. When subscribing or signing up to receive Services, you will need to provide information as to your preferred mode of payment – PayPal or credit card – which can be set as a default payment option (where available).

In addition, whenever you participate in surveys and other promotions or contests which may be available on the Website, as well as whenever you communicate with Automated Express through the contact details provided in the Website or by telephone with Automated Express may collect additional information which you choose to provide. This is also the case regarding any information you choose to disclose in certain sections of the Website which allow you to participate in a public forum or to contact Automated Express directly.

In other sections of the Website, you might be asked to submit Personal Data related to third parties, such as other contact persons in your company or your relatives who are employees of Automated Express.

In any situation where you decide to share Personal Data related to other persons, you will be considered as an independent data controller regarding that Personal Data, and must assume all inherent legal obligations and responsibilities. This means, among other things, that you must fully indemnify Automated Express against any complaints, claims or demands for compensation for damages which may arise from the processing of this Personal Data, brought by the third parties whose information you provide through the Website.

As Automated Express does not collect this information directly from these third parties (but rather collects them, indirectly, from you), you must make sure that you have these third parties’ consent before providing any information regarding them to Automated Express; if not, then you must make sure there is some other appropriate grounds on which you can rely to lawfully give Automated Express this information.

The Website’s operation, as is standard with any websites on the Internet, involves the use of computer systems and software procedures, which collect information about the Website’s users as part of their routine operation. While Automated Express does not collect this information in order to link it to specific users, it is still possible to identify those users either directly via that information, or by using other information collected – as such, this information must also be considered Personal Data.

This information includes several parameters related to your operating system and IT environment, including your IP address, location (country), the domain names of your computer, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of resources you request on the Website, the time of requests made, the method used to submit requests to the server, the dimensions of the file obtained in response to a request, the numerical code indicating the status of the response sent by the server (successful, error, etc.), and so on.

These data are used to compile statistical information on the use of the Website, as well as to ensure its correct operation and identify any faults and/or abuse of the Website.

Cookies are small text files that may be sent to and registered on your computer by the websites you visit, to then be re-sent to those same sites when you visit them again. It is thanks to these cookies that those websites can “remember” your actions and preferences (e.g., login data, language, font size, other display settings, etc.), so that you do not need to configure them again when you next visit the website, or when you change pages within a website.

Cookies are used for electronic authentication, monitoring of sessions and storage of information regarding your activities when accessing a website. They may also contain a unique ID code which allows tracking of your browsing activities within a website, for statistical or advertising purposes. Some operations within a website may not be able to be performed without the use of cookies which, in certain cases, are technically necessary for operation of the website.

When browsing a website, you may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the website being visited (i.e., “third-party cookies”).

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, which may be stored on your computer for different periods of time: “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser, and “persistent cookies”, which will remain on your device until their pre-set expiration period passes.

According to the law which may be applicable to you, your consent may not always be necessary for cookies to be used on a website. In particular, “technical cookies” – i.e. cookies which are only used to send messages through an electronic communications network, or which are needed to provide services you request – typically do not require this consent. This includes browsing or session cookies (used to allow users to login) and function cookies (used to remember choices made by a user when accessing the website, such as language or products selected for purchase).

On the other hand, “profiling cookies” – i.e., cookies used to create profiles on users and to send advertising messages in line with the preferences revealed by users while browsing websites – typically require specific consent from users, although this may vary according to the applicable law.

- Types of cookies used by the Website

The Website uses the following types of cookies:

Browsing or session cookies, which are strictly necessary for the Website’s operation, and/or to allow you to use the Website are content and Services.

Analytics cookies, which allow Automated Express to understand how users make use of the Website, and to track traffic to and from the Website.

Function cookies, which are used to activate specific Website functions and to configure the Website according to your choices (e.g., language), in order to improve your experience.

Profiling cookies, which are used to observe the preferences you reveal through your use of the Website and to send you advertising messages in line with those preferences.

Automated Express also uses third-party cookies – i.e. cookies from websites / web servers other than the Website, owned by third parties. These third parties will either act as independent data controllers from Automated Express regarding their own cookies (using the data they collect for their own purposes and under terms defined by them) or as data processors for Automated Express (processing personal data on Automated Express’s behalf).
