Details of when you contact us and when we contact you

For the administration of our services to you it will be necessary to collect and process information which the Data Protection Act defines as “sensitive” (such as health information) either at the point of joining or when a case is raised. In such cases we will always explain what information we require and why it is needed. Such data will always be processed and stored securely

To carry out market research. We will always seek your consent first if we ever wish to use your sensitive personal information about health matters for market research purposes.

To track and analyse activity on our website

When you become a customer through the Chinese Medicine 365 website, request assistance, purchase a Chinese Medicine 365 product or service or end your membership we may follow up that event with an enquiry or short survey about your experience to help us gauge member satisfaction.

Sometimes, we may use the information we hold about you to develop aggregated and anonymised information and statistics for the purpose of monitoring usage of our services. This helps to develop new services. Such aggregated information may be shared in an anonymised format with third parties but it will never include information that can be used to identify any individual.

3.1 Sharing your details

To run Chinese Medicine 365 and to provide you with our services, we may share your information with others, both inside and outside Chinese Medicine 365 and Ginseng Group Ltd

This might mean sharing your information:

3.2 Within Other Sister Company GinSen Clinics

Information about you and any products you hold with us may be used within Chinese Medicine 365 and Ginseng Group Ltd for all purposes necessary for performing our contract with you and for:

• Assisting in verifying your identity
• Assessing risks
• Understanding your requirements
• Developing, testing, researching and improving products and services
• Marketing products and services we believe may be appropriate to you
• Training and business analysis
• Legal and regulatory compliance

4.1 Security of your personal information

Chinese Medicine 365 takes your privacy very seriously and has a range of policies, processes and technical measures in place to safeguard your personal information. We endeavour to protect all information we hold about you by ensuring that we have appropriate security measures in place to prevent unauthorised access, information being lost, destroyed or damaged. For instance we conduct audits to monitor our compliance with Information Security and data protection requirements.

In the usual course of our business, we may use third party organisations called “data processors” to support the essential delivery of our services. This may be to support IT systems in which your information is stored, or for the purposes of allowing recurring payments, debt collection, transportation and storage of information and confidential destruction.

Where a third party “data processor” is used to do things on our behalf, we ensure that they operate under contractual restrictions with regard to confidentiality and security, in addition to their obligations under the Data Protection Act.

Personal information you provide to us is kept for as long as is reasonably necessary. We have implemented appropriate security to protect the personal information you disclose to us from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction

4.2 This means though that if you contact us:

We may need to carry out some checks to make sure that we are talking to the right person. This makes it more difficult for criminals to use financial systems, or to use false names and addresses, to steal the identities of innocent people. Checking identity is an important way of fighting money laundering and other criminal activities.

If we are unable to validate your name and address details in this way, we may ask you to provide further evidence so that we can access your sensitive information.

In addition to this, as part of our ongoing requirement to verify the identity of existing members, you may be asked to provide certain documents to confirm your name and/or address.

Please be aware that we reserve the right to discuss any financial transactions made with the originating account holder

4.3 Email

Communications in connection with our site may be sent by email. For ease of use and compatibility, communications other than payments will not be sent in an encrypted form unless you require it and provide the certification to enable us to communicate with you in that way. Email unless encrypted is not a fully secure means of communication.

5.1 Keeping your information up to date

From time to time you may need to update your contact details and if you pay for other people on your membership you can do this on their behalf. If you’re registered on our website you can update your contact preferences by logging in.

5.2 Freedom of Information

Chinese Medicine 365 and its subsidiaries do not fall under the Freedom of Information act as Chinese Medicine 365 is not a public authority.

5.4 Marketing

To help us to identify products and services that we believe may be of interest to you we may occasionally write to you. The identification of these products or services may be based on products you hold with us or on activity carried out during your memberships. If you do not wish to receive information on products and services by letter, telephone or email, or any combination of these, you can write and tell us at any time . We may occasionally invite you to reconsider your preferences, for instance if you take out a new product with us.

We will never sell your information, share or give any information to external companies for their own marketing purposes

5.5 Retaining your Information
