Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. Because the Internet offers the ability to collect certain types of information about users, we want you to understand the terms and conditions surrounding the collection and use of any information we gather. To that end, this privacy policy is to set out the principles governing how we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information.

Collection

Family Health Diary operates web services and in doing so we gather two types of information about users including you (“you”):

1. personal information, provided by you at the time of voluntary registration for the services we offer; and
2. aggregated information generated by our systems, which tracks traffic to our sites but does not relate to you personally. Failure to provide necessary personal information when requested may result in certain services not being available to you.

How do we use the information?

We use the personal information we collect:

1. for verification of your identity and assisting you in case you forget your password or login details for our registration services;
2. to assist in providing the services requested by you;
3. to provide further information to you about other websites and services which we consider may be of interest to you;
4. for future marketing, promotional and publicity purposes, including carrying out direct marketing, market research and surveys;
5. for ensuring that you are shown the advertising and information that is most relevant to you and your interests; and
6. for any other uses that you authorise.

You can choose to refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser and/or deleting them from your hard drive. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use our websites, but you may need them for customisable areas of the site that we may develop in the future.

Exercise your Rights (EU Data subjects)

You have the following rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you:

1. Your right of access. If you ask us, we’ll confirm whether we’re processing your personal information and, if so, provide you with a copy of that personal information (along with certain other details). If you require additional copies, we may need to charge a reasonable fee.
2. Your right to rectification. If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you’re entitled to have it rectified. If we’ve shared your personal information with others, we’ll let them know about the rectification where possible. If you ask us, where possible and lawful to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
3. Your right to erasure. You can ask us to delete or remove your personal information in some circumstances such as where we no longer need it or if you withdraw your consent (where applicable). If we’ve shared your personal information with others, we’ll let them know about the erasure where possible. If you ask us, where it is possible and lawful for us to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
4. Your right to restrict processing. You can ask us to ‘block’ or suppress the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances such as where you contest the accuracy of that personal information or you object to us processing it. It won’t stop us from storing your personal information though. We’ll tell you before we lift any restriction. If we’ve shared your personal information with others, we’ll let them know about the restriction where it is possible for us to do so. If you ask us, where it is possible and lawful for us to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.

6. Your right to object. You can ask us to stop processing your personal information, and we will do so, if we are:
   relying on our own or someone else’s legitimate interests to process your personal information, except if we can demonstrate compelling legal grounds
   for the processing; or
   processing your personal information for direct marketing.
   Your rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision when it’s based on automatic processing, including profiling, if it produces a legal effect or similarly significantly affects you, unless such profiling is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us.

1. Your right to withdraw If we rely on your consent (or explicit consent) as our legal basis for processing your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
2. Your right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to data protection authorities. The relevant data protection authority will be the data protection authority of the country: (i) of your habitual residence; (ii) of your place of work; or (iii) in which you consider the alleged infringement has occurred.

If you would like to access, review, update, rectify, and delete any Personal Information we hold about you, or exercise any other data subject right available to you under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or NZ privacy policy, contact us at [email protected]. Our privacy team will examine your request and respond to you as quickly as possible.
