INTRODUCTION
This website is owned and run by Aethic Ltd. (“Aethic”). Aethic is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. We believe that the best way to protect the privacy of users of our website (the “Website”) is to tell you what information we gather and ensure that you understand and consent to our uses of such information.
We may occasionally modify the privacy policy and will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. We may let you know via the homepage when this happens but you should check the policy frequently to read the changes.
Please note that the Website contains links to and from other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites and the information practices of those websites are not covered by this privacy policy.
How do we use the information collected on the site?
When you visit the Website, we may ask you for contact information, personal details and your email address. If you expressly agree to the use of your personal data for advertising or marketing purposes, your personal data will also be stored and continuously used for such purposes, e.g. for sending you newsletters, product samples, ask for your participation in competitions or sweepstakes, all via e-mail or post or any other communication channel you consented to. We may use your data to create and maintain a user profile to provide you with individualized advertising and promotions. We may also use the data provided by you for analyzing and improving the effectiveness of our website services, advertising, marketing, market research, and sales efforts.
If you do not want to receive such communications, simply tell us when you give us your personal information or email us at mail@aethic.com We may also use your personal information to track activity on the Website. We do this in order to serve you better as we understand how you and other visitors use the Website.
Whenever we collect personal information we make an effort to include a link to this privacy policy on that page.
Do others get this information?
Your information will only be shared with our agents, consultants and service providers. We do not otherwise disclose information about your individual visits to the Website or personal information which identifies you to other third parties unless we have your prior consent or unless required to do so by law.
How secure is the data that you store?
Your information is stored on our in-house database which only our employees and agents can access. This, or the dynamics of the Internet may mean that information is sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered the information. In addition, that information may be used, stored and processed outside the country where you entered that information. While there is a risk that countries to which information is transferred will not be subject to an information protection regime as rigorous as that of the UK, we will always take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and adequately protected in accordance with this privacy policy.
Unfortunately, no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Agents or contractors who in the course of providing services to Aethic have access to information which you give to us are required to keep that information secure and confidential and are not permitted to use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services which they are performing for Aethic.
How accurate is the information that you hold on me?
You can check the information that we hold on you by emailing us at mail@aethic.com We will send you the information (as held by us) within the appropriate legal time limit and will try to send it within 14 days. You can also request us to correct any factual inaccuracies in that information or delete any of that information from our records.
Children
We do not engage in collecting personal data of children. If we become aware that such data has been communicated to us without the children’s parents’ or other legal guardian’s consent, we will attempt to delete it without delay. In doing so, we shall be bound by corresponding instructions from you in your capacity as parents or legal guardians.
