Privacy Policy
Cervin Limited is committed to privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act (1993). This privacy policy covers all personal information that we hold.
Our website www.healthpages.co.nz is provided for use by residents and citizens of New Zealand. It is impractical for us to comply with every country’s privacy law, so we only undertake to comply with the privacy laws of New Zealand.
Collection of information
Whenever we collect personal information from you we will do so in a lawful and fair way. Where we collect the information from a third party we will take reasonable steps to advise you of that collection. We will tell you why we are collecting the information. If you do not wish to provide the information we request, we will tell you what impact this will have.
Our website uses cookies that are recorded on your computer. These are used to improve your user experience, analyse how our visitors use the site and aggregate information about areas of interest, so that we may provide information or functions that better suit your needs and interests. If you do not wish to have cookies on your computer you may delete and block them under the Options menu of your internet browser.
From time to time you will be able to participate in the site, enter contests, vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion, subscribe to one of our services such as an online newsletter, or participate in one of our online forums or communities. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected in these pages include: name, email address, telephone number and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs and services.
Sometimes you will be able to submit information about other people. For example, you might submit a person’s name and email address for that person to receive information or a product. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected about other people in these pages include: recipient’s name, email address and telephone number.
Also, we may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit many of our web pages, such as the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, and the domain name of your internet service provider.
We may ask you or otherwise collect your postcode to enable us to display medical services or product suppliers that are near you.
When you provide information to us you should take care not disclose any personal information that you do not wish us to have.
Opting out
We will provide you with a low-cost way of contacting us if you wish to opt out from receiving further emails or certain offers. In accordance with the Act, direct marketing offers will contain an opportunity to opt out.
How we use the information
We may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfil your requests for our programs and services, to respond to your enquiries about our offerings and to offer you other programs or services, some of which maybe from relevant third parties where we believe this be of interest to you. We use the information that you provide about others to enable us to send them information. The information we collect in connection with our online forums and communities is used to provide an interactive experience. We use this information to facilitate participation in these online forums and communities.
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our site and to enable us to personalise your internet experience. We also may use this information on aggregate to analyse site use and site users’ interests. Aggregated information may also be used to provide reports on the interests of our community to third parties who may participate in the site. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorised disclosures of information, we can give you no assurance that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking the site for access to personally identifiable information about themselves for purposes of correcting possible factual errors in the data.
Analysing site use
We may use an independent service to measure and analyse use across the site. Any service we use will have expertise in internet measurement technologies as well as market research and trend analysis. Use of such service may involve coding being placed on pages on the site to enable information such as the following to be collected:
the number of unique visitors to the site;
the average length of time these unique visitors spend on the site when they visit; and
the entry and exit points onto the site for these unique visitors.
Links to other web sites
Sometimes we provide links on the site to other websites. These sites are not under our control, however, and we can’t accept responsibility for the content or operators of those sites. We don’t provide any of your personal information to these sites, nor does any such information automatically pass to them with the linkage. Before you disclose any personal information for that other site you should read the terms of use and privacy policy for that site.
Quality of information
We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the information that we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up to date.
Security
We are committed to protecting your privacy and will take reasonable steps to ensure that the information we collect is protected from loss and misuse and from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
