This Privacy Policy constitutes a binding and enforceable legal contract between us and you - so please read it carefully.

You may visit and/or use the Services only if you fully agree to this Privacy Policy - and by accessing and/or using any of the Services, you signify and affirm your informed consent to this Privacy Policy, including to the collection and processing of your Personal Information as defined and explained below.

Please note:

  • you are not obligated by law to provide us with any information. You hereby acknowledge, warrant and agree that any information you do provide us is provided of your own free will and consent, for the purposes and uses described herein.
  • If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

Information we may collect from you

We may collect and process the following data about you:

  • Information that you provide by filling in forms on our sites. This includes information provided at the time of requesting services.
  • If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
  • If you use our website we may record your IP address, registration details, operating system and your browsing history such as the pages you have visited within our sites. The IP address discloses nothing about you other than the IP address used to access our website.

Uses made of the information

We use information held about you in the following ways:

  • To ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.
  • To provide you with information, products or services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes.
  • To send a confirmation of your appointment.
  • To send a reminder prior to your appointment.
  • To send a reminder of your follow-up appointment.
  • To notify you about changes to our service.
  • When you pay us, we will record details of the financial transaction but do not directly store your debit or credit card information. Online payments are made through our websites but are processed securely by a trusted third-party payment provider.
  • We do NOT share personal data with 3rd parties for marketing purposes, other than with the direct consent of the individual(s) which may be withdrawn at any time.

Where we store your personal data

All information you provide to us through our website is stored on secured servers.

The Personal Data that we collect from you may be maintained, processed, and stored by our trusted third party processors (who provide analytics, payment processing, information and/or other support services) which are located in various countries around the world. Therefore your personal data may be transferred across international borders outside the country where you use our services, including to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) that do not have laws providing specific protection for personal data or that have different legal rules on data protection, for example, the United States of America.

In such cases, we ensure that there is a legal basis for such a transfer and that adequate protection for your personal data is provided as required by applicable law.

Where we transfer your personal information outside of the EEA, we ensure it is protected by making sure at least one of the following safeguards is in place:

  • by transferring your personal information to a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the European Commission;
  • by using specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give your personal information the same protection it has within the EEA;
  • by requiring the use of other appropriate technical and organizational information security measures; or
  • we may transfer data to them if they are part of the 'Privacy Shield' which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

Please note; unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

How long do we keep your data for?

Data is not kept any longer than is required for the purposes of the processing or to comply with the law. As we collect data for many different purposes there is not a single retention period for all data. We instead carefully assess the length of time to retain data according to the processing purpose and to comply with our legal obligations. When data is no longer required for the purposes of the processing it is securely removed from our systems.

Transfer of data to trusted third parties

We may use trusted third party providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you; e.g. for website hosting, web maintenance, email notification, and taking payment. We share information with these trusted third party to provide these services, so long as those trusted third parties agree to keep this information confidential as part of their contract with us.

We may also release your personal data where compliance with legal requirements is a necessity. We also reserve the right to enforce our site policies in order to protect our rights and the rights of other individuals in a manner that is safe and compliant with the law. We take reasonable commercial steps to ensure that your data is kept secure and confidential by any trusted third party, is deleted when not needed for the purpose it was given, that their data privacy policies protect your data and that they only process your data on our instruction.

We do not sell or rent your personal data, although we may transfer, sell or assign your data outside of our group to a third party if we merged, sold or reorganised all, of part, of the group. Your data will be processed fairly, lawfully and securely in Ireland and will only be transferred outside of the European Union when there is protection in place for your rights and when the data will be kept secure.

Non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. For example, we may disclose the total number of visits to our website.
