Privacy Policy

Use of Information, Data Protection and Internet Privacy

St Andrew’s Healthcare is concerned for the privacy of visitors to its Website and protection of privacy is extremely important to us. However, please remember that the security of information transmitted over the Internet cannot be assured.

The following sections generally describe the types of information collected at the St Andrew’s Healthcare site and the uses made of it.

Personally Identifiable Information

St Andrew’s Healthcare collects personally identifiable information such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address or other information only when it is voluntarily submitted to us on this site. We may use the information to improve our level of service and the content of our Website; provide you with tips, helpful information, news and updates; notify you of new St Andrew’s services; seek your views on our services for our own internal purposes.

Further, you agree that St Andrew’s Healthcare shall have the unrestricted right to use and store on its internal systems, whether in or outside the EU, any such information provided by you. In this context please note that your information may cross national borders during processing.

Under relevant data protection legislation you are entitled to obtain from St Andrew’s a printout of the data held concerning you and to have any inaccuracies in this data rectified.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

St Andrew’s Healthcare also collects non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to track data such as the total number of visits to our Website, the number of visitors to each page of our Website, and the domain names of our visitors’ internet service providers. We use this information, which remains in aggregate form, to understand how our visitors use our Website so that we may improve it. No personally identifiable information is disclosed in this process.

Use of IP Addresses

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you log on to your internet service provider or through your organisation’s local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). Web servers automatically identify your computer by the IP address assigned to it during your session online.

St Andrew’s Healthcare may collect IP addresses for the purposes of systems administration and to audit the use of our Website. We do not ordinarily link a user’s IP address to personally identifiable information of that user, which means each user’s session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us. However, we may use IP addresses to identify users of our Website when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the site’s terms of use, or to protect our service, site or other users.

Links to Other Web Sites

St Andrew’s Healthcare Website provides links to third party web sites as a service to our users. The privacy policy described here does not apply to those sites.

Please ensure you check the legal and privacy policy sections of any site you link to.

Cookies do not themselves contain any personally identifiable information but if you provide such information to us, for example by registering with us, it may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.

Security

St Andrew’s Healthcare operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection. St Andrew’s has security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user data under our control.

Except as outlined below, only authorised employees have access to the information you provide us. Further, we impose strict rules on St Andrew’s employees who have access either to the databases that store user information or to the servers that host our services. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur; we make every effort to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.

Sharing Personally Identifiable Information with Third Parties
