This Privacy Policy applies to all site visitors, customers, and all other users of the site. By using the Site or Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy, without modification, and acknowledge reading it.

Information We Collect

When used in this privacy policy, the term “personal information” refers to any information that can be used to personally identify you.  This may include your name, address, telephone number, email address and profession or occupation.  If the information we collect personally identifies you, or you are reasonably identifiable from it, the information will be considered personal information.

For us to be compliant, we need to notify you on the data we hold and how it is used.

After subscribing, purchasing one of our products or enrolling in a free or paid event or webinar the personal data we may hold about you is as follows:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email address
  • Telephone/mobile number
  • Address
  • Business name
  • Age or birth date
  • Credit card details.

We may also collect some information that is not personal information because it does not identify you or anyone else.  For example, we may collect anonymous answers to surveys or aggregated information about how users use our website.

Your personal information will not be shared, sold, rented or disclosed other than as described in this privacy policy.

Why and How information is collected

We collect personal information about you so that we can perform our business activities and functions and to provide best possible quality of customer service.  We collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:

  • to provide our services to you;
  • to send communications requested by you;
  • to answer enquiries and provide information or advice about existing and new services;
  • to provide you with access to protected areas of our website; and
  • to comply with any law, rule, regulation, decision or direction of a regulator, or in co-operation with any government authority.

We collect your personal information directly from you unless it is unreasonable or impracticable to do so.  When collecting personal information from you, we may collect in ways including:

  • when you make an enquiry about our services;
  • through your access and use of our website, including when you register as a member of our website;
  • during conversations between you and our representatives;
  • when you ask to be placed on one of our subscription/mailing lists; or
  • when you become a client of ours or otherwise use our products or services.

If you do not wish to provide personal information to us, then you do not have to do so.  However, this may affect your use of this Site or any products and services offered on it.

Disclosure of personal information

We may disclose your personal information to:

  1. our employees, contractors or service providers for the purposes of operating our website or our business, fulfilling requests by you, and to otherwise provide services to you including, without limitation, web hosting providers, IT systems administrators, couriers, payment processors, data entry service providers, WordPress plug-in providers and professional advisors such as accountants, solicitors, business advisors and consultants;
  2. suppliers and other third parties with whom we have commercial relationships, for business, marketing, and related purposes; and
  3. any other organisation for any authorised purpose with your express consent.

Your personal information will never be shared with unrelated third parties.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Direct marketing and client updates

We may send you direct marketing communications and information about our services that we consider may be of interest to you.  These communications may be sent in various forms, including mail, SMS and email, in accordance with applicable marketing laws.  If you indicate a preference for a method of communication, we will endeavour to use that method whenever practical to do so.  In addition, at any time you may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by contacting us (see the details below) or by using opt-out facilities provided in the marketing communications and we will then ensure that your name is removed from our subscription/mailing list.

Retaining personal information

We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

By Law we have to keep basic information about our customers in relation to tax and invoices for seven years, based on New Zealand law.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Sale or transfer of business assets

If there is a change of control of our business or a sale or transfer of business assets, we reserve the right to transfer to the extent permissible at law our user databases, together with any personal information and non-personal information contained in those databases. This information may be disclosed to a potential purchaser. We would seek to only disclose information in good faith and where we have sought to maintain confidentiality.

Activity

We may record information relating to your use of the Site, such as the searches you undertake, the pages you view, your browser type, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and timestamp information. We use this type of information to administer the Site and provide the highest possible level of service to you. We also use this information in the aggregate to perform statistical analyses of user behaviour and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the Site.

We may use tracking software to review and improve your experience of our Site. In particular, we may use Facebook, Mailchimp and Google Analytics. Google Analytics collects data about our Site traffic via Google Advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers. Data collected via these Google products is not linked with any personally identifiable information you submit while on our Site. If you wish to opt out of the Google Analytics data collection, you may do so on Google’s Site at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

Also, please recognise that individual forums and chat rooms may have additional rules and conditions. Each participant’s opinion on a forum or chat room is his or her own and should not be considered as reflecting the opinion of Discover Yourself Health or Willow Rand.

Please be advised that for any forums or Webinars you attend, recordings can be enabled by a meeting or webinar host. By signing up for any of Discover Yourself Health’s, or any other host(s) authorised by Discover Yourself Health, webinar services or otherwise using them in any way, including without limitation by attending any Discover Yourself Health meeting or webinar, you expressly acknowledge that we may make and store recordings for meetings or webinars, and may make such recordings available to hosts and other Attendees at the direction of Willow Rand and Discover Yourself Health.

Accordingly, any personal information or other information which you transmit to us online is transmitted at your own risk.
