1. Privacy Policy
Customer charter

Healthspan understands that many customers value their personal privacy and wish to ensure that any company who provides a service to them will also value their privacy. We therefore guarantee that we will not sell or pass your data to a third party outside the Healthspan Group, in the normal course of business, unless that third party requires the data to provide you with your order for delivery or in the course of communicating with you as a customer. As part of our customer charter we will process your personal data fairly and lawfully.

Data that we collect

To enable us to process your order we will ask you to provide personal details such as:

Name

Password
Address
Payment details

No Credit Card numbers are held on our Sites or on the associated back-office systems used by us to process your orders.  For future reference to help us communicate with you, the first few and/or last digits only of your Credit Card number are kept by us.

For any repeat orders of Products made by you via our Sites, our Credit Card Agency securely holds your Credit Card details and provides us with a unique token that represents that particular card; this token is only valid for payment to us and this data is therefore worthless to any potential website hacker.

This is an optional service. You can choose not to receive our checkout assistance emails at any time by following the link at the bottom of each assistance email.

Your consent to processing data

By Law, we are required to obtain your consent to processing your data.

Where we process or transfer your data outside of what is outlined in "How we use your data" we will ask you to provide your specific consent.

How we protect your data

The data that you have provided will remain in databases that are established in a network that is firewall protected. Firewalls exist to stop the transfer of unauthorised information to or from the network. Physical access to our servers is restricted through the use of door code security systems. Higher level user login ID and password controls are also in place to restrict access. Only a limited number of IT personnel are authorised by the IT director to access the database. We use industry standard security technology and server certification.

As a routine we carry out validation checks to help prevent fraud. No protection system is foolproof and the company cannot guarantee the total security of data or accept any liability unless a breach of security was due to our proven willful default or negligence. Certain websites linked to our Sites may not offer the same protections as the Healthspan Sites and the laws of some countries outside the Channel Islands or the EU to which your data may be transferred as part of the process of providing Products and services to you, may not offer the same data protection.
