Use and disclosure of personal information

Men’s Health Supps will primarily use and disclose your personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected. Such purposes will vary based on the nature of your interaction with us, but might include (as examples):

Countries in which such recipients reside include the United States of America and the Philippines, though this may change from time to time. However, this does not change any of our commitments to safeguard your privacy to the standard required by the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles.

We take your privacy very seriously. We will only disclose your personal information to third parties where this is necessary to enable us to operate our business or provide you with our services, or as is otherwise required or authorised by any laws (including the Privacy Act).

Storage and security

Men’s Health Supps uses a variety of technical measures to ensure the security of all personal information we collect and store. The security of our systems is regularly reviewed to ensure ongoing protection against damage, loss and/or unauthorised access. Our security precautions are regularly updated and improved in line with technical developments. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot give an absolute assurance that the information you provide to us will be secure at all times. Men’s Health Supps will not be held responsible for unauthorised access to personal information where it has taken reasonable steps to protect and secure that information.
Some examples of the security measures we have implemented are described below:

any personal information you send us is encrypted in transit, using a technology called “Digital Security Certificates”, which is provided by one of the most established Certification Authorities worldwide called Comodo;
the Extended Validation SSL Certificate we have obtained from SSLTrust offers the highest levels of trust and authentication available. When you proceed to our eCommerce section of the site, the green address bar prominently displays our company name and provides highly visual assurance that our site is secure;
we secure our servers using best-practice software and networking technologies to prevent unauthorised access (called “hacking”) to our servers. We pay a trusted third-party called Sucuri to attempt to breach our server security each and every day of the year using the latest hacking techniques. If a security weakness is ever found then we are alerted immediately;
we follow best-practice security procedures, such as only use third parties that satisfy our stringent security standards, and implementing networking security measures such as firewalling and VPNs; and
personal information that is obsolete and no longer required by law will automatically be destroyed except where required for reporting and data analysis purposes. If it is used for such purposes, the personal information will be de-identified.

Hyperlinks to other websites

Our website may contain hyperlinks to third party websites that are not managed or controlled by us. The third party operators of such websites may gather and store personal information as soon as you access their websites.

We cannot accept any liability for the conduct or activities of those third party operators or websites in relation to the collection and handling of your personal information, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies separately.

If you would like to do so, please simply send an email to the address provided in the ‘Contact Us’ section of this Privacy Policy below. In most circumstances we will provide you with the access or correction sought, however if we deny this we will provide you with our written reasons for our decision.
If you wish to stop receiving any communications from us and have your personal information deleted, please let us know and we will take all reasonable steps to delete it, unless we need to keep it for legal or operational reasons.
