Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how ICT collects, uses, and shares your personal information, and what rights you have. It applies when you visit ICT’s blog, website(s) (including the training section of the website), applications (‘apps’), or otherwise contact ICT.

When this policy refers to ‘ICT’, it means Integrated Control Technology Ltd (ICT). ICT is a world leading manufacturer of unified and intelligent electronic access control and security solutions that enable organisations to protect their people, operations and information. ICT’s headquarters are in Auckland, New Zealand, and ICT have offices in Denver (USA), Toronto (Canada), Melbourne (Australia), Dubai, United Kingdom and Hong Kong. ICT is the data controller in relation to the personal information you provide when you visit ICT’s blog, website, or apps, or contact ICT. ICT’s contact details are set out at the end of this privacy policy. 

Please read this statement before using ICT’s website or submitting any personal information to ICT. 

This privacy policy may change from time to time. Where the changes are material, ICT will endeavour to contact you (if ICT holds your contact details). For non-material changes, ICT will alert you that changes have been made by indicating the date that this Policy was last updated. 

What personal information does ICT collect? 

The term ‘personal information’ or ‘personal data’ means information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. Personal information does not include aggregate information: for instance, data ICT collects about the use of ICT’s website, from which any personal information has been removed. 

ICT collects information from you when you register on ICT’s site, place an order, subscribe to a newsletter, open a Support Ticket or enter information on ICT’s site. When ordering or registering on ICT’s site, as appropriate, you may be asked to provide your personal information, such as your name, email address, phone number or other details to help you with your experience. Refer to ICT’s Data Processing Addendum and Data Management Overview explain how ICT will process your personal data.

Where ICT processes your personal information on the basis of legitimate interests, we have balanced your rights and freedoms against ICT’s legitimate interests, or those of any third parties, and determined your rights are not infringed. ICT’s legitimate interests relate to ICT’s commercial interests and the need to operate ICT’s business. Some examples of ICT’s legitimate interests include maintaining the security of ICT’s system, conducting data analytics, responding to your communications, managing ICT’s business relationship with you, enhancing, modifying, or improving ICT’s services and identifying usage trends.

Who does ICT share your personal information with? 

From time to time, ICT needs to share your personal information with third parties, such as:

  • Suppliers, including those who help ICT to manage the website, app and other IT systems, or who send marketing emails on ICT’s behalf.
  • Third parties providing professional services to ICT (for instance, ICT’s auditors or legal advisors).
  • Law enforcement bodies, government agencies, regulators, courts, where ICT is required or permitted to do so.

For further information, see the Data Management Overview. Where ICT shares your personal information with third parties, ICT takes steps to ensure that they protect your personal information and treat it carefully.
Your personal information may also be transferred to other third parties (where permitted under applicable law) if ICT sells, merges, purchases or transfers any part or all of ICT’s business or assets.

Where does ICT store your personal information? 

ICT stores your personal information with third-party service providers in various countries. More information about the service providers and host countries can be found in the the Data Management Overview. 

In the case of transfers to third parties based outside of New Zealand, the EU and the UK, transfers are made in compliance with safeguards. You can contact ICT if you would like further information about these safeguards.

How long will your personal information be retained for?

ICT will retain your personal information for as long as required to perform the purposes for which the data was collected, as more fully set out in the Data Management Overview.

In addition, ICT may be required to retain personal information in order to comply with tax and company laws and regulations, as well as statute of limitation periods.

In some instances, you may also withdraw your consent from ICT keeping your personal information or request deletion of your personal information gathered from the site, and ICT may delete data on that basis (See the “Your Data Rights” section below).

ICT does not sell or trade your personal information to outside parties.

How does ICT protect your information?

ICT endeavours to secure your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure by putting appropriate safegaurd procedures in place. For example, ICT uses regular vulnerability scanning, and ICT’s customer facing sites are protected by web application firewalls. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive and credit card information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

ICT implements a variety of security measures when a user places an order, or enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information. All credit and debit card transactions are processed securely via our payment gateway provider and are not stored or processed on ICT's servers. However, other personal data — such as name, email address, and order details — may be collected and stored as part of your order process.

To protect the confidentiality of your personal information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. You are responsible for all uses of the site by any person using your password. Please advise ICT immediately by emailing ICT at privacy@ict.co if you believe your password has been misused. You should also note that email is not secure, and you should not send any confidential or sensitive information to ICT via an unsecured email.

Does ICT use 'cookies'?

ICT collects information using cookies. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enable the site or service provider's systems to recognise your browser and capture and remember certain information. 

For example, ICT uses cookies to:

  • Remember and process the items in the shopping cart
  • Understand and save user's preferences for future visits

Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that ICT can offer better site experiences and tools in the future
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings.  You will still be able to use the site without cookies, but some features will be disabled.

See ICT’s Cookie Policy for more information.

Third-party links

ICT does not include or offer third-party products or services on ICT’s website.

Your Data Rights

Marketing Communications:

  • You may “opt out” of receiving marketing or promotional communications from ICT or from allowing ICT to share personal information with ICT’s marketing partners by emailing ICT at privacy@ict.co or updating your preferences on ICT’s subscriptions page.

Depending on your location, you may also have the following rights:

  • Right to access and/or correct your personal information: You have the right to request access to a copy of the personal information ICT holds about you. You also have the right to request correction of any inaccurate information ICT holds about you.
  • Right to request deletion of your personal information: You have the right to request that ICT delete your personal information, particularly where ICT no longer needs to retain it. You may also delete certain information by closing your account.
  • Right to withdraw your consent: You can withdraw your consent at any time (although it is important to note that withdrawing consent does not affect ICT’s use of your personal information before that point).

In addition, if you are in the UK and EU, you may specifically have the following rights:

  • Right to object to ICT’s use of your personal information: For instance, you may object to ICT’s use of your personal information for marketing purposes, and you can request that ICT stop using your personal information for this purpose.
  • Right to restrict ICT’s use of your personal information: For instance, if you believe that personal information ICT holds about you is inaccurate, you can request that ICT do not use your personal information until ICT has verified the accuracy or corrected your personal information.
  • Right to request data portability: You can request that ICT transmit to another organisation all personal information you have provided to ICT in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, where technically feasible.

If you wish to exercise the rights described above (if they are applicable to you, based on your location), please contact ICT at privacy@ict.co. Please note that ICT may not always be in a position to comply with your request. In certain circumstances, ICT may not be able to remove or change certain information, even in the event an account is closed. For example, ICT may be required to retain certain information, such as billing information, for a certain period of time, and it may be necessary to retain certain information in order to complete any services or transactions with ICT.
