How we use your personal information

 

This privacy notice is to let you know how 24-7 Patient Care Ostomy Supplies promise to look after your personal information. This includes what you tell us about yourself, what we learn by having you as a client.

Users contacting this website and/or it’s owners do so at their own discretion and provide any such personal details requested at their own risk.

Our Privacy Promise

 

We promise:

 

    • To keep your data safe and private

How the law protects you

 

As well as our Privacy Promise, your privacy is protected by law. This section explains how that works.

Data Protection law says that we are allowed to use personal information only if we have a proper reason to do so. The law says we must have one or more of these reasons:

 

    • To fulfil a contract we have with you, or

    • When it is our legal duty, or

    • When it is in our legitimate interest, or

    • When you consent to it

 

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. But even then, it must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you.

 

Where we collect personal information from

 

We may collect personal information about you from these sources:

 

Data you give to us:

 

    • When you apply for our services

    • When you talk to us on the phone

    • When you use our website

    • In emails and letters

 

Who we share your personal information with

 

We may share your personal information with companies or with trusted third parties.

 

For example:

 

    • Operational companies such as delivery couriers

    • Appointed distributor in the country in which you live

    • Dispensing appliance contractors(DACs)

 

Here’s the policy we apply to those organisations to keep your data safe and protect your privacy:

 

    • We provide only the information they need to perform their specific services

    • They may only use your data for the exact purposes we specify in our contract with them

    • We work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and protected at all times

 

Sharing your data with third parties for their own purposes

 

We may also be required to disclose your personal data to the police or other enforcement, regulatory or Government bodies, in your country of origin or elsewhere, upon a valid request to do so. These requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and take the privacy of our customers into consideration.

Marketing

 

We may use your personal information to tell you about relevant products and offers. This is what we mean when we talk about ‘marketing’.

 

The personal information we have for you is made up of what you tell us, and data we collect when you use our services.

 

We study this to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, may be relevant for you.

 

We can only use your personal information to send you marketing messages if we have either your consent or a ‘legitimate interest’. That is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. It must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you.

 

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages by contacting us at any time.

 

We may ask you to confirm or update your choices, if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.

 

If you change your mind you can update your choices at any time by contacting us.

 

How long we keep your personal information

 

We will keep your personal information for as long as you are a client of 24/7 Patient Care     Ostomy Supplies Ltd.

 

After you stop being a client, we may keep your data for up to 7 years for one of these reasons:

 

    • To respond to any questions or complaints.

    • To maintain records according to rules that apply to us.
