What does Health and Safety Malta do with the data it collects?
Whenever Health and Safety Malta collects Personal Information and/or Optional Information (collectively "User Information"), it is intended to provide a service - tailored to or improved for - the visitors to our site. From the data collected we can offer content, based on the user's preferences. We analyse what our users prefer in order to improve the service. It will also allow us to conduct market research to help us develop better products, to provide more responsive customer service and to improve our websites.
When you register for an Health and Safety Malta service, we collect your User Information in order to provide you with specific services and to personalise your experience on the site. We may use information you have given us for marketing and promotional purposes, such as mailings, announcing new Health and Safety Malta products and services or making promotional offers. We might also contact you to see if you are interested in participating in market research regarding Health and Safety Malta . It is our policy to send mailings only to customers who give us permission to do so.
When sending you mailings, we will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe and avoid receiving any future mailings from us.
User Information collected via our websites may be linked with information you provided Health and Safety Malta through other sources such as product registration, hotlines, promotion, contests and public events. Health and Safety Malta may transfer User Information across country borders within the European Union for the purpose of consolidation and storage of data or for the purpose of simplified customer information management in general.
What choices are available regarding collection, use and distribution of the information (Opt-In Policy)?
In accordance with EU legislation, the Health and Safety Malta sites provide you with the opportunity to "opt-in" to receive communications (email and mail) from us (or our partners), at the time we ask you for this information. In addition, whenever we contact you via email or mail, we will also provide instructions on how to unsubscribe so that you will not receive any future emails or mail from us if you choose.
With whom does Health and Safety Malta share data?
Health and Safety Malta does not sell, rent or lease the User Information to others. We will share your data with All Sport Medical group companies within Europe and may do so with (third-party) companies working on our behalf. Third parties may be contracted if necessary to provide services, support or communications you requested or to perform the activities as described above in 'What does Health and Safety Malta do with the data it collects'.
If Health and Safety Malta contracts third-parties they are always required to keep and hold the disclosed personal data confidential and exclusively for the purpose to carry out the services on behalf of Health and Safety Malta . In addition, they are required to abide by Health and Safety Malta privacy policy and by the data protection laws within Europe.
Health and Safety Malta will not disclose User Information to any other third parties unless:
- Health and Safety Malta has your explicit consent to share the information;
- Health and Safety Malta believes in good faith that it is required to provide User Information in accordance with law, court order or other legal procedure;
- Health and Safety Malta believes -in good faith- that such disclosure of User Information is necessary to protect the rights and properties of Health and Safety Malta;
- Health and Safety Malta merges or is acquired by another business entity or some or all of our respective assets are purchased. If this situation occurs Health and Safety Malta will make every reasonable effort to notify you within a reasonable time.
As previously mentioned, you may choose not to provide us with any of the information we request, though this may limit our ability to provide you with a specific service or limit our ability to offer personalised content.
Sometimes Health and Safety Malta obtains your User Information from other parties outside Health and Safety Malta. This includes the buying of a business of which you are already a customer or the disclosure of your Personal Information by one of our partner companies. If you do not want us to use your User Information, which you have not provided to us yourself, you can let us know by contacting us at the address listed below.
