Applus+ Car Testing Service Limited ("NCTS" or "we") and its associated companies respect and protect your right to privacy in relation to your interactions with this website. Any information which is provided by you to NCTS via this website or otherwise will be treated in accordance with the terms of the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 and/or such amending or replacement legislation as may be adopted in Ireland from time to time. You should be aware that each time you visit a website, two general levels of information about your visit can be retained. The first level comprises statistical and other analytical information collected on an aggregate and non-individual specific basis of all browsers who visit the site and the second is information which is personal or particular to a specific visitor who knowingly chooses to provide that information.

The statistical and analytical information provides us with a general and non-individual specific information about the number of people who visit this website; the number of people who return to the site; the pages that they visit; and where they were before they came to the site and the page in the site at which they exited. This information helps us monitor traffic on a website so that we can manage the site's capacity and efficiency. This type of non-personal information and data can be collected through the standard operation for internet servers and logs as well as "cookies".e public. (create link here to the job description for Vehicle Inspectors)

Cookies are small data files that a website can use in order to recognise visitors who revisit a site so as to facilitate their ongoing access to and use of the site. Cookies are used by websites to store visitor's user settings and therefore most browsers are initially configured to accept cookies. Typically, cookies involve the assigning of a unique number to the visitor. You should be aware that NCTS is unable to control the use of cookies or the resulting information by other third parties such as advertisers or parties hosting data for NCTS. One simple way to prevent the use of cookies is to activate the facility which is available in most web browsers that enables a user to deny or accept cookies. However, you should realise that certain cookies may be necessary in order to provide you with certain features such as the customised delivery of certain information.

While using this website, you may have the opportunity to send us information relating to you such as through the "Contact" page or by booking a NCT test online or where you send emails. By choosing to participate in these, you will be providing us with some level of personal information relating to you. This information will only be used by NCTS for the purpose for which it was provided by you or for verification purposes and statistical analysis. We use Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") technology. If your browser supports SSL then any personal data that you send will be protected during transmission by encryption. Credit and debit card details are stored in an encrypted form for additional security

If you wish to book a NCT test online, we will require you to provide us with your vehicle registration number and date of first registration of your vehicle. We will use this information to cross refer to the database of vehicles and owners which we receive from the Vehicle Registration Unit of the Department of Transport, and as a result will correlate the information which you give us to your name, address and other information.

We use your personal information to identify you as a customer, to process your booking and to deliver relevant information to you in connection with the NCT test.

You also acknowledge and agree that in certain circumstances we may be obliged to disclose personal information relating to you to third parties, for example, in order to conform to any requirements of law or to comply with any legal process, as well as to protect and defend the rights of property of NCTS, and/or our customers.

You should also be aware that where you link to another website from this website, that NCTS has no control over that other website. Accordingly, NCTS cannot guarantee that the controller of that website will respect your privacy in the same manner as NCTS.

You have the right to request a copy of the information which we hold about you (for which we may charge you a small fee) and to have inaccuracies in the information corrected. However, as the information is received from the Vehicle Registration Unit of the Department of Transport, you will need to contact this unit in Shannon, co Clare to ensure that it holds correct and up to date information.

NCTS, its directors, employees, servants and agents, affiliates or other representatives and their respective parent and subsidiary companies, shall not be liable in respect of any claims, emergencies, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney fees and costs of proceedings arising out of or in connection with the use and/or dissemination of personal information relating to you in accordance with this privacy policy and your consents.

NCTS reserves the right in its sole discretion to amend this privacy policy at any time, and you should regularly check this privacy policy for any amendments.
