Protecting
all subscribers privacy
Although our ability to provide service requires that we
collect personal information about our customers, we take
measures to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of that
information.
Online privacy concerns focus on the protection of "customer
identifiable" information that an individual or other
customer reasonably expects to be kept private. As the term
suggests, "customer identifiable" information is
information which can be associated with a specific individual
or entity, including, for example, a customer's name, address,
or telephone number, e-mail address, and information about
online activities that are directly linked to them.
We respect your privacy. We are not involved in the selling,
trading or alternative unauthorised use of personal information.
We promise that we will not pass on any of your personal
details to any other organisations. By providing us with
your information and visiting this web site, you accept and
consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
What information do we collect
and how do we use it?
DXS Referrals Direct Ltd. does collect information about
you at different times. Instances include:
1. Mandatory personal information
needed for us to provide a service to you
To first join DXS Referrals Direct, information such as
your name and contact details that include your email address
is requested. We will not disclose this personal information
unless we have received your express consent to do so.
We also may disclose this information to our subsidiary
and parent companies and businesses, and other affiliated
legal entities and businesses with whom we are under common
corporate control. However, all of these parent, subsidiary
and affiliated legal entities and businesses that receive
your personal information from us will comply with the terms
of this Privacy Policy with respect to their use and disclosure
of such personal information. We may also disclose this information
if we believe it is required by law - that is, to answer
a subpoena, warrant or in response to other legal processes.
All of your information may be transferred to and maintained
on computer networks which may be located outside of the
county or country or other governmental jurisdiction in which
you reside, and the countries in which these computer networks
are located may not have privacy laws as protective as the
laws in your country.
2. Non-personally identifiable (specific
or aggregated) information, to improve our services
Apart from this mandatory information we need to provide
our service to you, there may be data (that does not personally
identify you) collected to monitor and improve DXS Referrals
Direct’s service and performance. For example, when you visit
a web page the URL requested is automatically recorded, as
is the time and date requested, and the browser software
being used.
Specific or aggregate information may be collected to help
maintain accurate accounts, assist in marketing our products
and services and to help make our web site and related services
useful to you. For example, our server recognises your domain
name and the pages that you visit. This data is gathered
in an aggregate manner for quality control and improvement
of our sites.
From time to time, DXS Referrals Direct may provide aggregated
statistical information about sales, browsing patterns and
navigation techniques to reputable third parties. This is
not personally identifiable information, and assists DXS
Referrals Direct to improve products and services offered.
3. Personal information voluntarily
provided by you - for DXS Referrals Direct surveys, newsletters,
and in conjunction with third party offers
We collect information that you volunteer to us on surveys,
contests and on registration pages and use the information
collected only to improve your DXS Referrals Direct online
experience. These surveys are strictly confidential. We do
not reveal, disclose, sell, distribute, rent, license, share
or pass on to any third parties your personal information
without your consent. From time to time DXS Referrals Direct
may form relationships with other organisations to bring
you special offers, competitions and subscriptions. For any
third party offer or subscription, we require as a matter
of policy that the third party clearly states their intentions
with any information gathered, and attaches their Privacy
Policy as a hyperlink to the offer or subscription.
The terms and conditions of the offer should also be clearly
stated. Please read this information carefully, and understand
that it is your own choice should you choose to disclose
your personally identifiable information to the third party.
The information that you offer to the third party is voluntary.
DXS Referrals Direct enters into third party business relationships
with care, and will not share, disclose or sell any personally
identifiable information collected at our site with third
party companies or organisations without these conditions
being met.
4. Contacting you by e-mail
We may use your e-mail address for any purpose for which
you provided it. We may also use it to respond to feedback
given about our Site or Services, to provide you with any
information you request, to confirm receipt of e-mails you
have sent to us or if we need to contact you for any reason.
5. Creating a promotional listing
We only record and publish (post) information that you
provide directly to us as part of the DXS Referrals Direct

pharmacists and any other individual or entity determined
by DXS Referrals Direct as a system user. At no time will
any personal contact information be disclosed to any persons
or organization other than those.

Unsolicited commercial e-mail

Spam is the Internet term for marketing or commercial e-mail

does not and has never supported or condoned this practice.
Marketing mail from DXS Referrals Direct will generally
be "opt-in" / "opt-out". This means that
you should not receive any commercial or marketing e-mail
from us unless you have requested it, that is, you have opted
in. When you opt in, every piece of commercial e-mail will
contain an opt-out option, or unsubscribe function. You can
send us a message telling us you would prefer not to receive
the mail again and we will respect your wishes.
We may also send you e-mail providing general information
about Services we provide or about goods or services that
are available to you from other persons. Each time we do
that, we will give you the opportunity to opt-out or unsubscribe
should you choose not to receive further e-mails of that
type.
