Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Vernay website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand how visitors interact with our content and measure the effectiveness of our advertising.

Cookies are small data files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

Some cookies are necessary for website functionality, while others may be used for analytics, advertising and performance measurement.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the operation of some website features.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the Vernay website.

Google Analytics may collect information including:

  • pages viewed and interactions with our website;
  • approximate geographic location;
  • device, browser and operating system information;
  • referring websites and traffic sources; and
  • information about how visitors navigate and use our website.

We use this information to understand website performance, improve our content and services, and understand which products and information are most useful to our visitors.

Google Ads

We use Google Ads to advertise Vernay products and services and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

Google Ads and related Google technologies may use cookies and other identifiers to collect information about interactions with our website and advertising.

This may allow us to understand whether someone arrived at the Vernay website through an advertisement and whether they subsequently completed an action such as submitting an enquiry, requesting a sample, requesting product information or accessing the Specifier Portal.

Where enabled, Google advertising technologies may also be used to create audiences and display relevant Vernay advertising to people who have previously interacted with our website.

Information collected through Google services is handled in accordance with Google’s applicable privacy policies and privacy settings.

Forms, Security and Spam Protection

When you submit information through a form on our website, we collect the information entered into that form together with technical information that may be required to process the request, maintain website security and prevent spam or misuse.

Our website may use automated spam detection, security and website protection services. Information submitted through website forms may therefore be processed by these services for security and fraud-prevention purposes.

Embedded Content and Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party websites and services, including videos, maps, social media content or other external resources.

Embedded content may behave in the same way as if you visited the third-party website directly. Those providers may collect information, use cookies or track your interactions in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Vernay is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

Who We Share Information With

We do not sell your personal information.

We may disclose personal information to service providers that assist us in operating our business and providing our services, including providers of:

  • website hosting and maintenance;
  • email and communications services;
  • customer relationship management systems;
  • website analytics;
  • advertising and conversion measurement;
  • website security and spam protection;
  • IT and data storage services; and
  • professional and business services.

This includes Google and related service providers for website analytics, Google Ads, advertising measurement and campaign performance.

We may also disclose personal information where required or authorised by law.

Where service providers process information on our behalf, we expect them to handle that information appropriately and only for the purposes for which it has been provided.

How Long We Retain Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain appropriate business records, manage customer and portal relationships, meet legal and regulatory obligations and resolve disputes.

Information associated with a Specifier Portal account may be retained while the account remains active and for an appropriate period afterwards for business, administrative and legal purposes.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accessing or Correcting Your Personal Information

You may contact us to request access to personal information we hold about you or to ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.

Overseas Service Providers

Some technology and service providers used by Vernay, including providers of website analytics, advertising, hosting, communications or data storage services, may store or process information outside Australia.

Where this occurs, information may be subject to the privacy and data protection laws of the country in which it is processed or stored.

Managing Cookies and Advertising Preferences

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

You can also manage how Google uses information for advertising through Google’s advertising and privacy controls.

Changing these settings may limit some website functionality and may affect our ability to measure website usage and advertising performance.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, services, technology, business practices or legal requirements.

The current version will be published on this page with the date it was last updated.
