Data Collection and Purpose Specification

We collect your personal data to help us understand your needs and interests and provide you with better services. Specifically, we use your information to communicate with you, to update you on services and benefits, and to better understand who uses our Site and the pages they access so as to be able to improve the Site.

• you may opt out of receiving this information at any time by updating your communication preferences here
• you may also opt-out from any targeted communications by using the unsubscribe facility in the email itself. This will also automatically update your preferences. 
• the site will prompt you on a regular basis update your communication preferences when logging in with the aim of ensuring that we only send you relevant and wanted communications.

We do not collect extra information about our visitors from other sources, such as public records or bodies, or private organisations.

If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, other than for which it was originally supplied, we will ask you first. We take seriously the trust you place in us.

Unless we have your consent, we will ensure that your personal data will not be disclosed to other organisations, institutions and authorities unless required by law. We will not sell, rent or lease your personal data to others.

We only disclose information about our customers with their consent, or if we are required to do so by law.

You may also opt-out of receiving email communications from Anaesthesia at any later time.

You agree that if we transfer ownership or management of the Site to a third party we may also transfer your data to such third party, provided such third party agrees to observe this policy.

Links to other websites

Parts of our Site contain links to third party websites for your convenience and information. If you use these links, you will leave the Site. When you access a third party site, please understand that we do not control the content and are not responsible for the privacy practices of that site. We suggest that you carefully review the privacy policies of each site you visit. This Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of those third party websites linked to our Site. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information. 

Security

We do not give visitors to our Site the option of using a secure transmission method to send us their personal data, unless otherwise indicated. Accordingly, your attention is drawn to the fact that any information carried over the Internet is not secure; information can be intercepted, lost, redirected, changed and read by other people.

All our employees and data processors, who have access to and are associated with the processing of personal data, are obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitors' and customer’s personal data.

We use technologies and encryption software to safeguard your data, and set strict security standards to prevent any unauthorised access to it.

Crime prevention and detection

We have systems that protect our customers and ourselves against fraud and other crime. We may use your personal information to prevent crime and trace those responsible. We may check your details with fraud prevention agencies. If you give us false or misleading information and we suspect fraud, we will record this. We and other organisations may use and search these records to help us to trace debtors, recover debt, prevent fraud and to manage your accounts, or check your identity to prevent money laundering, unless you provide us with other satisfactory proof of identity.

These session cookies are not stored on your computer after the browser session is completed. If you disable or restrict cookies, you may not be able to use our Site.
