Melita Health & Beauty (“Melita Health & Beauty”, “us” or “we”) are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, which includes any personal information that you may choose to provide us (“Personal Information”).
This privacy statement, together with Melita Health & Beauty’s Terms and Conditions and Cookie Policy, set out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
Melita Health & Beauty is the data controller in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will process all Personal Information in accordance with GDPR.
The privacy of your personal data is important to us and we are wholly committed to ensuring that visitors to Melita Health & Beauty’s website are informed about the information we may collect, the way we collect, use and store that information, and your rights at law with respect to that information.
This Statement sets out Melita Health & Beauty’s privacy policies and practices for the personal information which you provide to us.
We may collect data about you including while you are navigating the pages of this website as well as details on how we use the information you provide to us and your rights in this regard.
By using this website you are subject to the terms of the statement.
We suggest that you take the time to familiarise yourself with its contents.
What happens when you visit Melita Health & Beauty’s Website?
Every time you connect to the internet or, if you use an always-on connection such as broadband or ADSL, you are automatically assigned a unique identifying number known as an Internet Protocol Address (“IP Address”). This IP Address, which contains information regarding the location of your computer on the internet, your country of origin and the name of your internet service provider (ISP), is automatically logged by Melita Health & Beauty’s website.
When you visit a website, your web browser automatically downloads a copy of the webpages and pictures that you view to your hard disk. Certain pages of this website may also require that your browser downloads, together with the copy of the web page and pictures, a small text file called a “Cookie”.
We collect information from you when you fill out a form or where you are asked to provide details.
If you subscribe to one of Melita Health & Beauty’s newsletters or if you opt to fill in a form, you will be asked to supply your email address and certain personal information such as your full name and surname, company, postal address, town, post code, country and telephone number. We store this information on Melita Health & Beauty’s database in order to provide you with the requested service.
Why do we log your IP address?
What is an IP address?
When you first started your internet session (i.e. your computer connected to the internet) your computer was automatically assigned a unique IP Address. This is your computer’s unique address on the internet. Without that IP Address, websites would not be able to deliver their content to you as they would not be able to find your computer on the internet.
Because each time you disconnect and reconnect to the internet a new IP Address is automatically assigned to your computer, IP Addresses are not suitable for us to identifying you as an individual.
How do we collect your IP Address?
Each time you visit a page within this website your computer sends out a message to Melita Health & Beauty’s website asking for the content. This message sent by your computer also encloses your IP Address as a form of “return address” so that Melita Health & Beauty’s website may find your computer on the internet in order to send it the requested content. Melita Health & Beauty’s web-server automatically logs all these messages.
What do we do with your IP Address?
When we log your IP Address, the data collected is grouped up with the other logged IP addresses in order to provide us with statistics on visitors to the site, such as the geographic location of visitors, how long they stay on Melita Health & Beauty’s site, which are the most viewed pages and other matters.
Collecting this information allows us to administer Melita Health & Beauty’s site, diagnose potential server problems, analyse visitor trends and statistics, and generally helps us provide you with a better experience.
