Information We May Collect
In-Situ collects data to provide you with the best experiences with our products and to provide you with information on equipment and services that we believe may be of interest to you. Personal information we hold may include your name, billing and shipping address, phone number, email address, job title, the company you work for, your industry, details concerning your monitoring project needs and equipment we have quoted and/or sold to you, payment data necessary to process your purchases, such as your payment instrument number (i.e., credit card-related information), plus a record of historical contacts with you. When you express an interest in obtaining additional information about our products, requesting a quote, registering to use the websites, or signing up for an event, we require you to provide personal contact information, such as name, company name, address, phone number and email address. When you purchase equipment or register for an event, In-Situ may also require you to provide the company with financial qualifications and billing information, such as billing name and address, credit card number, and information about the intended application of the equipment. When you apply for a job with the company, In-Situ may also require you to submit additional personal information, as well as a resume or curriculum vitae. We also collect names, emails and other personal information associated with the accounts on HydroVu, In-Situ’s interface with instruments and telemetry systems. This data is stored encrypted and is used to identify users, provide them with the information they requested concerning their data (such as an alarm based on the data, or notification of service outages), or for simple account maintenance (such as password resets or support requests). We do not share or market this data in any manner. Our VuSitu mobile application collects anonymous crash reports, which may contain device manufacturer, model, screen size, operating system, approximate location (country), and details of the crash. If you are logged into Cloud Connection, username and/or company name may be included in error and debugging reports. VuSitu may also collect anonymous general usage metrics and statistics. All collected reports are encrypted and we do not share or market this data in any manner. In-Situ may use this information to improve VuSitu and In-Situ instruments.
