4. Why RS Hunter Collects Personal Data and How it is Used
RS Hunter collects and uses personal data only as necessary for the purposes for which it was obtained. RS Hunter may use your personal data for some or all of the following purposes:
• Consumer service – to provide you with consumer service, including responses to your inquiries, complaints and general feedback about our products and services. Consumer service may be provided through various forms of communication, including via email, letter, telephone and online chat features.
• Consumer engagement – to get you more actively engaged with our products and services. This may involve the use or publication of consumer-generated content.
• Personalisation – RS Hunter may combine personal data about you collected from one source (e.g. a website) with data collected from another source (e.g. an offline event). This provides RS Hunter with a more complete view of you as a consumer, which, in turn, allows RS Hunter to serve you better and with greater personalisation, including in respect of the following:
o Websites – to improve and personalise your experience on websites, using data such as account login information, technical computer information, and/or previous website usage information;
o Products – to improve RS Hunter’s products, tailor them to your needs and come up with new product ideas. This includes the use of demographic information, consumer profiling information and consumer feedback; and
o Interest-based advertising – to serve you advertisements tailored to your interests. One way RS Hunter does this is to match activities or information collected on RS Hunter Sites with data collected about you on third party sites (i.e. data-matching). This type of advertising is also known as “online behavioural advertising” or “targeted advertising”. Such personalisation is typically performed via cookies or similar technologies.
• Marketing communications – to provide you with marketing communications where you have opted-in to receiving such communications (including information about RS Hunter, its products and services, competitions and promotions). These can be shared via electronic means (e.g. SMS, emails and online advertising) and via post.
• Social features – to offer you a number of social features, including the following:
o Third party social networking – RS Hunter may use your personal data from when you interact with third party social networking features such as “Facebook Connect” or “Facebook Like”.

If you use these features, RS Hunter may have the ability to obtain certain personal data about you from your social networking information. You can learn more about how these features work, and the profile data RS Hunter may obtain about you, by visiting the website of the relevant third party social network.
o Other specific purposes – We may use your personal data for other specific business purposes, including to maintain the day-to-day operation and security of RS Hunter Sites, to conduct demographic studies or audits, and to contact you for consumer research.
