Privacy Policy

  • Privacy

    Your privacy is very important to Riccarton Clinic. With that in mind, we have established and implemented information handling practices that we believe are consistent with the highest standards and best practices of organisations doing business on the Internet. This privacy policy describes the practices that apply to our site – including, specifically, the information we collect about you, when and how we collect that information, and what may happen to that information.

    • We will not collect personally identifiable information like your name, e-mail and mailing address and telephone number ("Personal Information") without your knowledge and permission;
    • We will not disclose your Personal Information to third parties unless you have authorised us to do so;
    • We will take reasonable steps to protect the security of the Personal Information we collect from you.

    Your Personal Information

    Riccarton Clinic does not collect personally identifiable information – such as your name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number – on our website, without your knowledge. Such information is collected only when you knowingly and voluntarily submit it to us – as, for example, when you contact us via e-mail. Riccarton Clinic uses such voluntarily submitted information for the purposes for which it was submitted.

    When you place an order, Riccarton Clinic will ask you to provide certain information about yourself, such as your name, postal address, or e-mail address. The personal information you submit when placing your order is treated as confidential. We use this information to process your transaction, and we share the information with Visa and Mastercard in order to process your order.

    We use cookies

    Cookies allow Riccarton Clinic to remember you. If we did not use cookies, you would have to enter your details each time you visited our website. If you really prefer not to use cookies, you can set your browser preferences to not accept cookies. Most websites, however, including Riccarton Clinic, require cookies to process your orders.

    Trends, Tracking and Sharing Information

    Riccarton Clinic uses standard software for monitoring statistical information, such as how many visitors we have to our websites and what countries they are coming from. These statistics are viewed on an aggregate basis and help us get general overviews of customer trends. We do not look at individual customer data. Personal information specific to each Vendor's sales is treated as strictly confidential and will only be reviewed or examined in the event of a dispute, claim, error or customer request.

    Security

    Riccarton Clinic uses stringently tested technologies to ensure the security of information transmitted via our website and maintained in our possession. When you place your order, at the "checkout" you will see a lock icon appear on the status bar of your browser. This indicates that the data that is submitted is encrypted while in transit and so cannot be viewed by anyone other than us. In addition, when we receive that data, it is stored on a separate location to the web server so that it can only be accessed by us.

    Links

    Our site may provide links to other sites. When you click on one of these links, you are leaving our site and entering another site that we do not control and for which we cannot be responsible. You should carefully review the privacy statements or policies on any other site that you visit, because those privacy statements or policies will apply to your visit to that site and may be very different from our policy.
