Every computer connected to the internet is provided with a domain name and an IP address. When a visitor requests a page from within the PETRO Ind Ltd website, our web servers automatically identify and log the HTTP request that is made to our web server. This information reveals nothing personal about you. In fact, the only information that we automatically gather and log is as follows:-

The IP address of the site that may have referred you.

* Your IP address* The web page that you may have linked to us from, if any
* The product identifier for version and make of browser (e.g. Internet Explorer 7.0)
* The Operating System platform that you may be running (e.g. Macintosh or Windows)
* Search words or terms that are passed from a search engine

There is absolutely nothing unusual about the information just described - the practice of collecting this data has been generally standardised by nearly every web server on the internet today.

We do not use any of this information to identify individuals visiting our website.

15. Will PETRO Ind Ltd disclose the information collected to Third Parties?

PETRO Ind Ltd does not disclose buyers' information to third parties other than when order details are processed as part of the order fulfilment. In this case, the third party will not disclose any of the details to any other third party.

PETRO Ind Ltd will disclose your personal information or any of its log file information only when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such actions are necessary to:

- Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on PETRO Ind Ltd
- Protect and defend the rights or property of PETRO Ind Ltd, or visitors to the PETRO Ind Ltd website
- Identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal notice, or the rights of third parties
- Co-operate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities

PETRO Ind Ltd uses reasonable precautions to keep the information disclosed to us secure. Furthermore, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of any third parties that receive the information.
