Our use of data (The Data Protection Act 1998)
We regard our customer’s data of utmost importance and all data is held securely in accordance with the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998. We have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure your data collected online.
We do not share, sell, or loan, any customer details with third party companies. The exception to this is the temporary giving of customers information to the Emergency Services enabling the emergency contacts to be reached and/or to facilitate the reunion of lost, confused or injured persons wearing our identity bracelet which have an active subscription.
Phone numbers and addresses will only be used in circumstances where communication is needed in regards to a purchase, to enable emergency contacts to be reached or a query is instigated by the customer. We also promise not to spam customers, or contact them for any irrelevant and unnecessary reason.
We reserve the right to collect and share anonymous non personal information which can help us understand and build statistics about our clients regarding memory issues such as age, sex or town. No personal information will ever be shared for this purpose.
Our marketing department may decide to use email as a method for notifying customers of products, offers or useful information that may be of interest to them.
There is an option during registration to opt-out of promotional marketing, and also an option in every promotional email we send. However, if there is a problem with these methods, then a customer can contact us at any time with a request to opt out of direct marketing.
