McFarlane Medical understands the importance of privacy. McFarlane has adopted this Privacy Policy as we recognise the right of our clients and others to keep their personal information private. For the purposes of this policy, personal information means information or opinions about an individual whose identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained from the information.

Collection of information
During the course of dealing with you, McFarlane may collect basic personal information about you, such as your name, position, company, address, phone number and email address. We also retain information on your communications with our sales and customer service representatives.

We may also collect other specific information from you relating to the goods or services you wish to obtain.

Where practicable, the purpose for which we collect personal information and the consequences of not providing it will be made clear at the time of collection. We will advise you of any third parties to whom we may disclose that information (see "Disclosing information" below).

Disclosing information
McFarlane will use any personal information collected for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, for any purpose disclosed at the time of collection, or for related purposes. Generally we will only use or disclose your personal information as follows:

to provide the product or service you have requested or to answer your inquiry;
to third parties where we have retained those third parties to assist us to provide the products or services you have requested. For example we occasionally have contracts with third parties to assist us with marketing services, and mail outs;
for direct marketing of products or services. If we contact you in this way without obtaining your prior consent, we will provide you with the opportunity to decline any further marketing communications (see "Opt out" below);
where otherwise legally permitted
 

Opt out
McFarlane may collect and use personal information for the direct marketing of products or services. If we contact you in this way without obtaining your prior consent, we will provide you with the opportunity to opt out of any further marketing communications.

Quality of information
McFarlane will take reasonable steps to ensure that the information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up to date.

McFarlane will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected or any related purpose.

The Internet is not always a secure method of transmitting information. Accordingly, McFarlane cannot accept responsibility for the security of information you send to or receive from us over the Internet or for any unauthorised access or use of that information.
