Why we value your privacy

We value your privacy as much as we do our own, so we’re committed to keeping your personal information safe. We’ll never use your personal information for any reason other than why you gave it, and we’ll never give anyone access to it unless we’re forced to by law.

How we collect information

We ask for contact information including your name, email address, and phone number, when you contact us via our website so that we can reply to your enquiry.

When you buy something from us, we will collect the information we need to send your purchases to you.

If you buy our products via our shops on Amazon or Ebay, they will send through to us the information we need to fulfil the order.

Visits to the site are tracked via Google Analytics to let us see what pages on our site people are visiting. Although this uses cookies to remember visitors between visits, we do not collect any personal data via Google Analytics, and your IP address is anonymized.

What information we hold

  • When you contact us by email or through our website, we collect your name, email address, and phone number if provided.
  • When you buy something from us, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and a delivery address.
  • All purchases are processed by WooCommerce, our ecommerce platform, and we never have access to your credit card or other payment (e.g. PayPal) information.

Where we store your information

All information submitted to us through the website are stored within WooCommerce’s infrastructure.

What we use your information for

If you buy something from us, we’ll use your information to process your order and send you your purchases. We may occasionally follow up with a customer survey or other market research communication. When we do, you have the option to unsubscribe from these communications and we won’t send them to you again. Alternatively, email us at [email protected] to update your preferences.

We will never pass your information to any third parties.

Who’s responsible for your information at our company

Our Customer Services team is responsible for the security of your information. Contact us by email at [email protected] or by phone on +44 (0)1483 516 432 if you have any concerns about the information we store.

Who has access to information about you

When we store information in our own systems, only the people who need it have access. Our management team have access to everything you’ve provided, but individual employees have access to only what they need to do their job.

The steps we take to keep your information private

Where we store your information in third-party services, we restrict access only to people who need it. We use a different, randomly generated password for each service, and never use the same password twice.

The computers we use are all protected by a passcode. These computers ask for authentication whenever they’re started or after 5 minutes of inactivity. Our mobile devices are also protected by a passcode or fingerprint/facial recognition.

How to complain

We take complaints very seriously. If you’ve any reason to complain about the ways we handle your privacy, please contact us by email at [email protected] or by phone on +44 (0)1483 516 432. If you’d prefer to write a letter, please send it to Appia Healthcare Ltd, Carmanah Lodge, August Lane, Farley Green, Guildford GU5 9DP, United Kingdom.
