Privacy policy

The short version

This site collects the details you send through the contact form, with the IP address of your connection, and records of each visit made by the site's analytics, described below. Nothing is sold, and nothing is shared with an advertising network.

What you send us

The contact form asks for your name, your email address, optionally your company and phone number, the area you are asking about, and your message. When you send it, those details are saved on this site's server with the IP address of your connection. The details, without the IP address, are also passed to a customer relationship system that AppWT, the site's web provider, operates, so a person at Advanced Robotic Solutions can read and reply.

AppWT also keeps a copy of each submission that passes the form's field checks, with its IP address, in a private store on the same server. It uses those copies to measure how well the spam filter works. Submissions refused because a field is missing or invalid, or because too many arrived from one connection, are kept in that store too, with the reason.

Submissions that the spam checks hold are kept on the server for review instead of being thrown away. Each held submission is stored with the IP address of your connection, your browser details (the user agent your browser sends), the page you came from (the referring page) and the address the form was sent to. When the spam filter flags a submission, its IP address, email address and the start of its message are also written to a log that AppWT keeps for all the sites it runs. That IP address is then looked up with Team Cymru, an outside service that reports which network an IP address belongs to.

These details are used to answer your inquiry and to measure and improve the site's spam filtering. They are not sold, and they are not used for advertising.

What is measured automatically

Visits are measured by AppWT Analytics, which AppWT, the site's web provider, runs on its own servers. Its script starts when a page loads, before any choice is made in the cookie panel. It keeps a random visitor ID and session details in your browser's local storage, or in cookies whose names start with appwt_ and last up to 365 days when local storage is not available.

For each visit it records the page address and title, the page you came from, your browser and device details such as screen size, connection type, language and time zone, and the IP address of your connection. To find the country, region and city, that IP address is sent to ip-api.com, an outside location service.

The script also looks for signs of AI and writing-assistant browser extensions, such as Grammarly, ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot, and the names of any it finds are stored with the visit. With each page view it also sends a short browser fingerprint, made by drawing text on a hidden canvas. It sends the names of your browser's plugins too, and any installed apps your browser reports as linked to this site.

While you are on a page it also records how long the visit lasts, how far down you scroll, links you follow to other sites, how fast the page loaded, and each click, including the text of what you clicked and where it was on the page.

The visitor ID is stored for this site only, so it does not follow you to other websites. Choosing Reject All, or turning analytics off under Preferences, stops AppWT Analytics on the pages you open after that choice.

The map in the footer

The footer carries a map supplied by Google. When a page loads, your browser contacts Google to fetch it, and Google can see that request. If you would rather not load it, most browsers can block third-party frames. Apart from the map, the analytics script and the optional translate panel, every image, video and font on this site is served from this domain.

Cookies

One necessary cookie, appwt_cookie_consent, remembers your cookie choices for 365 days. If you pick a language in the translate panel, a googtrans cookie stores it. AppWT Analytics keeps appwt_visitor_id, appwt_session_id, appwt_session_start and appwt_session_time in your browser's local storage, or as cookies with those names lasting up to 365 days when local storage is not available. None of these is used for advertising, and none is read by other websites.

Google Translate is not contacted until a visitor opens the translate panel. After a language is chosen, the googtrans cookie makes later pages load Google Translate when they open.

How long anything is kept

Inquiries, held submissions and the spam-filter copies stay on the server until they are removed, and this page does not promise a date for that. You can ask for yours to be deleted at any time, as described under Your choices. Visit records are tied to the random visitor ID, not to your name.
