1. OUR PRIVACY COMMITMENT

We recognise the importance of, and are committed to, managing any personal information (including health information) that we collect in compliance with all applicable laws, including the Privacy Act 2020 (“Privacy Act”) and the Health Information Privacy Code 2020. We may also collect, use and disclose information to the extent applicable law does not prohibit it.

 

2. HOW DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Where possible, we will collect your personal information directly from you. This collection includes when:

  • you communicate with us via email, LiveChat, telephone (including our advisory/clinical care line, Careline, Nutricia At Home Service, and/or customer service lines) sales representatives, SMS or social media;
  • you interact with us on our Digital Platforms, including when you register for an account on the Digital Platform, or send or post queries or comments;
  • you place an order, or request certain products, samples or services from us;
  • you fill in one of our forms, such as a customer registration form, Healthcare Professional referral form, event registration or credit or employment application;
  • you register for programs to receive our products and support services through the recommendation of your healthcare professional, health facility or otherwise;

The information collected by us may also include personal information:

  • collected by us through tracking your use of the Digital Platforms, as further detailed at 8 below; and
  • collected by us through other tracking technology, as set out at 9 below.

Where it is unreasonable or impracticable for us to collect the personal information from you directly, or where you have authorised such collection, we may also collect your personal information from third parties for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may need to collect personal information about you from, where applicable, your specified healthcare professional(s) (for example during your registration for a Nutricia Programme or when your healthcare professional updates your record in the Nutricia Patient Management Database as further detailed at section 4), your associated hospital and where applicable, your parent, legal guardian and/or designated carer or from public agencies to verify information that you have provided to us.

We may monitor and record phone calls for quality control, fraud prevention or staff training purposes and other purposes related to the purpose for your call. We will let you know at the time of the call if a call is to be recorded.

You may provide information to be published or displayed (“posted”) on public areas of the Digital Platforms or transmitted to other users of the Digital Platforms or third parties (collectively “User Contributions”). If you use any discussion forum feature on the Digital Platforms, be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be viewed and used by other Digital Platforms users. Your User Contributions are posted on and transmitted to others at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of those with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions.

Sensitive information

In the event that we collect sensitive information as defined the Privacy Act (such as health information), we will only do so with your consent or in accordance with and as permitted under the relevant privacy legislation.  Generally, we will not collect sensitive information about an individual unless the individual consents to the collection of the information and the information is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities.

Children’s personal information

We have no intention of collecting any personal information directly from minors, although parents or guardians may voluntarily provide us with information relating to their children. A parent or guardian may contact us at any time if they have any questions or would like to make a request in relation to personal information we hold about their child.

 

3. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

The personal information we collect varies depending upon the purpose of the collection and the product or service we are providing you. You should assume that when you provide us with information that we will retain it, unless we explicitly advise you otherwise. Generally, we collect the following types of personal information from you:

  • contact information, such as name and surname, email address, address and phone numbers;
  • account login details, such as your user ID, email username and password. This is necessary to create a personal user account on one of our Digital Platforms;
  • communications with us, which may include details of our conversations via email, LiveChat, telephone (including our advisory/clinical care lines, Careline, Nutricia At Home Service, and/or customer service lines) or sales representatives, SMS or social media;

  • information about people other than you, such as personal information about your patients, family members or dependents when you provide such information directly to us;
  • credit-related information (such as your credit history, trade references, credit reports, any credit rating or credit assessment derived from a credit report);
  • any other information you voluntarily provide to us (this may include health information); and
  • other records of your dealings with us.

We may also collect personal data about you indirectly when you share content on social media pages, websites or applications related to our products or services or in response to our promotional material on social media.

Additionally, for certain purposes, such as where you apply for employment with us, we will collect additional personal information such as your employment history, educational history and employment references.

We may also collect personal information about third parties from you, such as personal information about your family members, so that we can provide products and services to those third parties. If you provide personal information about a third-party individual to us, you must ensure that the third-party individual is aware of this Privacy Policy, understands it and agrees to accept it. If you provide personal information about a third-party individual and that individual does not have the capacity to understand and agree to these terms (for example, a child), you warrant that you are authorised to disclose that information to us for our collection, use and disclosure for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

When we collect credit card information, we do not retain a written record of that information.  However, we do enter the details into our third-party credit card payment gateway hosted by Payment Express (in the case of Nutricia at Home), or Adyen, who may store the information.  These third parties’ privacy policy and contact details can be found at: www.paymentexpress.com and www.adyen.com.

Some of this information may be linked to you personally. This information helps our Digital Platforms function correctly, helps us understand the needs of our users and may be used for the other purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Examples of this information include:

  • Digital Platform related traffic data, location data, logs and other communication data;
  • data related to your use of the Digital Platforms. This includes the pages you visit, the resources and services that you access; the time you spend on each page, the date and time of your visit, referring pages (pages you came from or go to) and statistical and other aggregated data derived from your use of the Digital Platforms;
  • information about your device, computer and network connection, including your IP address, operating system, hardware version and browser type; and

Cookies:

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include log files, usage monitoring software and cookies. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on a user’s device that can identify the device you are working from. The cookie file gives us details such as your IP address, platform, browser and domain (whether you are accessing the Digital Platform from New Zealand or elsewhere). It has a unique ID assigned to your device and enables the Digital Platform to remember your actions and preferences (such as location, language, font size and other display preferences) over time. That way, you don’t have to keep re-entering the information whenever you come back to our Digital Platforms or browse from one page to another. Cookies can also help customize your browsing experience. Not all cookies contain personal information but where they do, we will treat this information as personal information data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We, and our service providers, may use the information generated by cookies to personalise your experience on our Digital Platforms, make it easier for you to navigate our Digital Platforms, and improve your experience by storing your search, posting and other viewing and usage history, and your login details (if you choose) enabling you to use certain services as a registered user without having to log on each time. They also enable us to keep track of products or services you view so that, if you consent, we can send you news about those products or services. We may also use cookies to provide you with certain advertisements and information which may be of interest to you. We may also use cookies to measure traffic patterns, to determine which areas of our websites have been visited and to measure transaction patterns in the aggregate. We use this to research our users’ habits so that we can improve our online products and services.

You can choose to refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser and/or deleting them from your hard drive. If you disable cookies it may limit your access to some of the Digital Platforms’ content and features and some cookies, such as strictly necessary cookies, are required to offer you a properly functioning site. As such, you do not need to have cookies turned on to use our Digital Platforms, but your experience may be affected.

Some of our Digital Platforms use Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner described in Google’s Privacy Policy and for the purposes set out above. You can opt out of Google Analytics if you disable or refuse the cookie, disable JavaScript, or use the opt-out service provided by Google.

 

9. OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We advertise in several ways, including online through managed social media presences, and on other unaffiliated sites and mobile applications. To understand how our advertising campaigns are performing, and better understand the visitors to our Digital Platforms, we may collect certain information via our Digital Platforms through our advertising service providers. We or our vendors use several common online tracking tools to collect information about our users, such as browser cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies. The information we collect includes IP addresses, the number of page visits, pages viewed via our Digital Platforms, search engine referrals, browsing activities over time and across other websites following your visit to one of our Digital Platforms or applications, and responses to advertisements and promotions on the websites and applications where we advertise.

 

10. THIRD PARTIES, ADVERTISING AND THIRD-PARTY LINKS

We may allow third-party companies to collect information when you visit our Digital Platforms. This may include information that will not identify you personally (such as browsing behaviour, browser type, time and date) and other information such as precise geographical location and user device identification. This information is collected to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you.

The Digital Platforms may also contain links to a variety of third-party platforms and website sources. Some of these links may request or record information from users, use cookies or other methods to collect information from you. We have no control over the content or privacy notice practices of such sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of such sites before engaging in any activity with them.

 

11. SOCIAL MEDIA AND APIs

Our Digital Platforms may include social media features such as the Facebook like button, Instagram, Twitter and widgets, share button or interactive programs that run on our site. These features may collect your IP address, which pages you visit on our site, and how long for. If you’re a member of a social media site, the interfaces may allow the social media site to connect your visits to this site with other personal information. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Digital Platform. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy notice of the third party providing it and to the maximum extent permitted by law we accept no responsibility for the actions of those third parties.

We may provide an application programming interface (API) to enable third party applications to interface with our Digital Platforms. Some applications enable you to interact with us through the API in a way that requires you to log in. To do this, most of these applications will direct you through a process where you are able to let the application connect to your account.

If you allow an application to connect to your account on our Digital Platforms, including if you set up your account on our Digital Platform using an API with a third party social media platform, that application will be able to access information that you can see when you are logged in to our Digital Platforms. You should only allow applications you trust to access your account on our Digital Platforms.

If you set up your account on our Digital Platforms using an API with a third party social media platform, you also consent to us obtaining and using your information from such platform.

 

12. MOBILE APPLICATIONS

If you are using one of our mobile applications, you acknowledge and accept that we can:

 

  • choose to send you “Push Notifications”. This is a message that pops up on a mobile device at any time. “Push Notification” preferences can be configured in the application’s settings (you have the option to disable the notification when you first open the app, and you can also go to your mobile phone settings to disable the notification); and
  • access your device’s location function and collect, use and disclose this information as set out in this Privacy Policy (you can disable the share location setting in your mobile phone settings if you don’t want our Digital Platforms to access your location).

13. HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION HELD AND SECURED?

Any personal information that you provide to us will be collected and held by us electronically or in paper form. We understand that the security of your personal information is important. We will take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We maintain physical and electronic security over our paper and electronic data storage. We also maintain computer and network security. For example, we use firewalls (security measures for the Internet) and other systems such as user identifiers and passwords to control access to computer systems.

If the personal information we collect is no longer needed for any purposes and we are not required by law to retain it, we will take reasonable steps to either destroy it (in a manner that ensures its confidentiality) or permanently anonymise it.

 

14. ACCESS TO AND CORRECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Under the Privacy Act you have certain rights of access to and correction of personal information that we hold. It is important to us that the personal information we hold about you is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant and not misleading. We may rely on notification from third parties to update our records in the event you are unable to correspond with us (e.g. due to incapacitation).

In certain circumstances where you can access your own personal information via an account or membership you have with us, you will be required to follow prompts to access, correct or update your personal information and can do so at any time by logging into your personal account. If this option is available to you directly, we will clearly mark it for ease of access. Otherwise you should contact us using the ‘Contact Details’ set out here [hyperlink to contact page] or set out at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.

Please provide us with as much detail as you can about the information you wish to access or correct, to help us retrieve it. We may charge you an access fee to cover our reasonable costs of providing that information to you. We will inform you of any applicable fees before they are incurred.

In certain circumstances, we may refuse your request to access, or correct, your personal information. If that is the case, we will provide you with reasons for that decision unless it is unreasonable for us to do so. We take reasonable steps to make sure that the personal information we use is accurate, complete and up-to-date including updating personal information when we are advised by you that your personal information has changed. We will respond to all requests for access and/or correction within a reasonable time.

 

15. DIRECT MARKETING

By providing us with your electronic contact details (including mobile number and email address) you agree that we, and our related group companies, may send you commercial electronic messages for any of the purposes set out in this Policy or otherwise disclosed to you. We will generally ask you to opt in to receiving commercial electronic messages from us.

We may use your personal information to send you direct marketing communications and information about our products and 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, such as the Unsolicited Commercial Electronic Messages Act 2007 (“Spam Act”).

You consent to us sending you those direct marketing communications by any of those methods. 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 using the ‘Contact Details’ set out here [hyperlink to contact page] or by using the opt-out facilities provided in the marketing communications, and we will then ensure that your name is removed from our mailing list.

We may also disclose your personal information to our related bodies corporate, our other business partners and our service providers to give you information and offers about products and services offered by us or these companies that may be of interest to you. Again, we will generally ask you to opt in to receiving any such commercial electronic messages.

By opting out of receiving marketing communications, you may still receive communications from us (such as invoices and notices) in relation to the products and services you have purchased from us. This form of communication is not regarded as a “commercial electronic message” under the Spam Act.

 

16. ANONYMITY AND USE OF A PSEUDONYM

You may request at any time that you remain anonymous, or choose a pseudonym, when dealing with us. To the extent that it is lawful and practicable for us to enable you to do so, we will grant such a request. However, where you choose to remain anonymous, or choose a pseudonym, we may not be able to provide you with some services or products.

Aside from the use of a pseudonym, all material that you post on our Digital Platforms or otherwise provide to us must be true and correct in all respects.

 

17. BUSINESS TRANSITIONS

In the event of a change in ownership of all or a portion of us or the Digital Platforms, your personal information may be transferred to the new owner so that the business and/or Digital Platform can continue operations. In this event, your information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.

 

18. HOW TO MAKE A COMPLAINT

If you wish to make a complaint about the way in which we handle your personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer using the ‘Contact Details’ set out below. We will acknowledge and investigate any complaint promptly and will respond to written complaints within a reasonable time from the date of receipt.
