Matplus Commitment to Data Privacy Protection

Protecting the security and privacy of your personal data is important to Matplus; therefore, we conduct our business in compliance with applicable laws on data privacy protection and data security. We hope the policy outlined below will help you understand what data Matplus may collect, how we uses and safeguards that data and with whom we may share it.

Personal data

Through our Web sites, Matplus will not collect any personal data about you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address), unless you voluntarily choose to provide us with it (e.g. by registration, survey), respectively, provide your consent, or unless otherwise permitted by applicable laws and regulations for the protection of your personal data.

Purpose of Use

When you do provide us with personal data, we usually use it to respond to your enquiry, process your order or provide you access to specific information or offers. Also, to support our customer relationship with you:

  • we may use personal data to contact you about a Matplus offer in support of your business needs or to conduct online surveys to understand better our customers’ needs

If you choose not to have your personal data used to support our customer relationship (especially direct marketing or market research), we will respect your choice. We do not sell or otherwise market your personal data to third parties, except to Matplus affiliates.

Communications or Utilisation Data
Through your use of telecommunications services to access our Web site, your communications data (e.g. Internet protocol address) or utilisation data (e.g. information on the beginning, end and extent of each access, and information on the telecommunications services you accessed) are technically generated and could conceivably relate to personal data. To the extent that there is a compelling necessity, the collection, processing and use of your communications or utilisation data will occur and will be performed in accordance with the applicable data privacy protection legal framework.

Non-Personal Data Collected Automatically

When you access our Web sites, we may automatically (i.e., not by registration) collect non-personal data (e.g. type of Internet browser and operating system used, domain name of the Web site from which you came, number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed). We may aggregate this data (so that it is anonymous) and then use and share it with our worldwide affiliates to monitor the attractiveness of our Web sites and improve their performance or content.
