Non-Personal Information
In general, you can visit The Groundwater Centre on the World Wide Web without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. Also, we may collect and store other information about your visit on an anonymous, aggregate basis. This information may include the time and length of your visit, the pages you look at on our sites, and the site you visited just before coming to ours. We may also record the name of your Internet service provider, browser type, and country of origin. We use this information only to measure site activity and to develop ideas for improving our sites.
Personal Information
mowtech.com / tgwc.com / tgwc.com may ask you to register and provide information that personally identifies you, such as name, e-mail address, mailing address or phone number ("Personal Information"). This will occur in certain circumstances including for example when you download sample groundwater data, sign up for newsletter services, purchase groundwater data, or join a limited-access premium service. We use your Personal Information for three primary purposes:
- To enable you to find or gain access to information,
software or services on our web site.

choices presented to you in order to make your future experiences on our
web site as efficient as possible.

What Information Do We Collect?
The type of information we maintain on our secure Personal Information server falls into two categories. The first is general information about you such as name, billing address, e-mail address, company name, etc. We do not store credit card information as part of your Personal Information. The second is product-specific information that enables us to customize information for you depending on which of our services you have purchased or accessed. Our Technical Support department also utilizes this information when you contact it.
We also store information about how you navigate our site so that when you return to it again, we may present you with a more efficient, personalized experience based on your interests and needs. As we continue to develop the groundwatercentre.com/mowtech.com site, we hope to continually increase the personally customized quality of your browsing and shopping experiences.
We also store specific information if you enter a contest that enables us to track entrants and award prizes. Similarly, we store specific information gathered in on-line surveys we conduct in order for us to accurately interpret the information gathered.
MOW-TECH LTD. / The Groundwater Centre reserves the right to alter our privacy principles as business needs require. Any alterations to these principles will be posted on our web site in a timely manner.
