These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the Site, tracking users’ movements around the Site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.  We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files.  This information includes IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.  We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.  We do not link this automatically-collected data to personal data.

Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our Site or to display advertising based upon your web browsing activity use LSOs such as HTML 5 to collect and store information.  Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 LSOs.

We partner with a third party ad network to either display advertising on our Site or to manage our advertising on other sites.  Our ad network partner uses cookies and web beacons to collect non-personal data about your activities on this and other websites to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests.  If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt-out by sending notification to privacy@aquitysolutions.com. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising.  You will continue to receive generic ads.

We may provide your personal data to companies that provide services to help us with our business activities such as offering customer service (Live Chat).  These companies are authorized to use your personal data only as necessary to provide these services to us.

Cookie consent

In most cases we will need your consent in order to use cookies on this website.  Exceptions to this apply such as where the cookie is essential in order for us to provide you with a service you have requested (e.g. to enable you to put items in your shopping basket and use our check-out process).  If you visit our website when your browser is set to accept cookies, we will interpret this as an indication that you consent to our use of cookies and other similar technologies as described in this policy. If you change your mind in the future about letting us use cookies, you can modify the settings of your browser to reject cookies or disable cookies completely.  If you do this, please be aware that you may lose some of the functionality of this website.  For further information about cookies and how to disable them please go for example to the UK Information Commissioner’s webpage on cookies: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies/.

Applying to work with us

If you apply to work with us, we will use the information you supply to process your application and to monitor recruitment statistics.  As a global business we may transfer your details outside of your home country and to other companies in our group.  We will ask you to sign up to additional privacy terms if you apply for a job with us.  Once a person has taken up employment with us, we will compile a file relating to their employment.  At that stage we will give more details about how we hold employee data and we will expect the employee to sign up to additional privacy terms as part of their employment.

If you apply to work with us through a third party, such as a recruitment consultant, please also check their privacy policy before proceeding.  We do not encourage unsolicited approaches either directly or from third parties – please do not send personal data to us unless the data subject has read and agrees to this privacy policy.

We may retain details of candidates who may be of interest to us, either now or in the future, for up to one year.  If you would not like us to do that please let us know.  Additionally, if your circumstances change – for example you no longer wish to be considered by us for employment – please let us know that too.

We may use third parties to consider potential hires.  For example, we may use UltiPro to help us manage the recruitment process.  UltiPro is provided by The Ultimate Software Group, Inc. and you can see their privacy policy at https://www.ultimatesoftware.com/Privacy-Policy.  We also use mttest to test some candidates prior to considering an application.  Mttest is provided by Career Step, LLC and you can find out more about their privacy policy here https://www.careerstep.com/privacy-policy.  We may also verify details in your application and make what we consider to be reasonable and necessary background checks about you.  These background checks may require a 3rd party to contact you and obtain information.

Who may use your information?

We may disclose your personal data to enforce our policies, to comply with our legal obligations or in the interests of security, public interest or law enforcement in any country where we have entities or affiliates.  For example, we may respond to a request by a law enforcement agency or regulatory or governmental authority.  We may also disclose data in connection with actual or proposed litigation, or to protect our property, security, people and other rights or interests.

We share your information with third parties who help deliver our products and services to you.  Examples include hosting our web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, and providing customer service.  These companies will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may not use that data for any other purpose.

We may also share your personal data:

  • With companies in our group and/or our affiliates; or
  • With any third party you have asked us to share your personal data with – such as Facebook or any other social media site if you have asked us to connect with your account.

You may have accessed our website through a hyperlink from the website of one of our trading partners.  If so, you consent to your personal details and purchase information, including behavioural patterns, being shared with that trading partner in accordance with our contractual relationship with them.

If we or any part of our group is sold, or some of its assets transferred to a third party, your personal information, as a valuable asset, may also be transferred to the acquirer, even if they are not in the same line of business as us.  Our customer database could be sold separately from the rest of the business, in whole or in a number of parts.  Potential purchasers and their advisors may have limited access to data as part of the sale process.  However, use of your personal information will remain subject to this Privacy Policy.

Similarly, your personal information may be passed on to a successor in interest in the unlikely event of a liquidation, bankruptcy or administration.

Please remember that when you share information publicly on the Site, for example a comment on a blog post, it may be indexable by search engines, including Google, which may mean that the information is made public.

Third party links and services

The Site may contain links to third parties’ websites.  We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those websites.  Therefore, please read carefully any privacy policies on those links or websites before either agreeing to their terms or using those websites.

We may also use Google Analytics to gather statistics on site usage.  This may involve the use of cookies.  We have explained about cookies above – however, you should also look at Google’s own privacy policy for details of their data collection practices.  Google may aggregate data they collect from their various services including Google Analytics, Google Translate, Google Maps and YouTube.  You acknowledge and accept that we have no control over Google’s data collection.

If you have asked us to share data with third party websites (such as social media sites), their servers may not be secure.

Note that, despite the measures taken by us and the third parties we engage, the internet is not secure.  As a result, others may nevertheless unlawfully intercept or access private transmissions or data.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We take what we consider to be appropriate technical and organisational measures to guard against unauthorised or unlawful processing of your personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, your personal data.  While no system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by the Site reduce our vulnerability to security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.  We have security measures in place to protect our user database and access to this database is restricted internally.  However, it remains your responsibility:

  • Where you have a user account for the Site:

o To log off or exit from the Site when not using it;

o  To ensure no-one else uses the Site while your device is logged on to the Site (including by logging on to your device through a mobile, Wi-Fi or shared access connection you are using);

o To keep your password or other access information secret.  Your password and log in details are personal to you and should not be given to anyone else or used to provide shared access for example over a network.  You should use a password which is unique to your use of the Site – do not use the same password as you use for another website or email account; and,

  • To maintain good internet security. For example if your email account or Facebook account is compromised this could allow access to your account with us if you have given us those details and/or permitted access through those accounts.  If your email account is compromised it could be used to ask us to reset a password and gain access to your account with us.  You should keep all of your account details secure.  If you think that any of your accounts have been compromised you should change your account credentials with us, and in particular make sure any compromised account does not allow access to your account with us.  You should also tell us as soon as you can so that we can try to help you keep your account secure and if necessary warn anyone else who could be affected.

Where is your information processed?

Aquity does not sell, distribute or otherwise transfer Personal Data to third parties, except that Aquity may, on occasion, rely on third parties for information technology and data center management purposes, assistance with maintenance and support of computing infrastructure, and to provide additional data processing, storage, or remote recognition resources or systems.  In such cases, Aquity will only transfer Personal Data to an agent, such as a service provider, vendor or other third party acting as a processor of Personal Data for Aquity where such agent has provided assurances that it provides at least the same material level of privacy protection as is required by this Privacy Policy.  Where Aquity has knowledge that one of its agents is using or sharing Personal Data in a way that is contrary to this Privacy Policy, Aquity will take reasonable and appropriate steps to prevent or stop such processing.

We may need to transfer your personal data to the United States, Canada, India, Australia, and/or the United Kingdom, all of which may be located outside the European Economic Area, for the purpose of servicing, implementing, supporting, and maintaining Aquity supplied products and services; for management and administration functions; and to comply with Aquity’s legal obligations.  To the extent applicable, any transfer of your data will be subject to a European Commission approved contract that will safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a security breach.

Marketing communications

If you have given permission, we may share your personal data with organisations who are our business partners and we or they may contact you (unless you have asked us or them not to do so) by mail, telephone, SMS, text/picture/video message, fax, email, other about products, services, promotions, and special offers that may be of interest to you.  If you prefer not to receive any further direct marketing communications from us or our business partners, you can opt out at any time. See further ‘Your rights’, below.

How long do we keep your information?

We will retain your personal data only as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, to deliver services to the relevant Aquity customer, in addition to retaining and using personal data as is necessary to comply with Aquity’s legal obligations, to resolve customer disputes, and to enforce Aquity’s agreements with its customers, after which we will delete it.

Compliance with HIPAA and ISO 27001:2013

Aquity provides technical controls and safeguards that support its customers’ compliance policies and procedures.  Although compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) is the responsibility of every healthcare organization, Aquity is dedicated to ensuring that its products and services make it easier for them to reach that goal.

Aquity has also established a corporate HIPAA Privacy Officer to facilitate and manage the privacy needs of its customers, and a Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer to protect the security of customer and internal data.  These roles include the following responsibilities:

  • Implement corporate privacy and security policies, and ensure effective corporate-wide privacy and security awareness;
  • Validate that current operational and technical business practices ensure the privacy and security of protected health information;
