VISITORS TO OUR WEBSITES
When someone visits https://www.careworldagency.org/ we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors we receive to various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will do this in an honest, transparent way. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.
PEOPLE WHO USE CARE WORLD AGENCY SERVICES
Care World Agency is a provider of Home Care Services. We must hold the details of the people who enquire about our services in order to provide our services or the relevant information. However, we only use these details to provide the service the person has requested and for other closely related purposes. For example, we might use information about people who have requested to become a Care World Agency client, to carry out a survey to find out if they are happy with the level of service they received.
We will respect your privacy and confidentiality at all times and will always act in accordance with this Privacy Policy when handling all Personal Data. In accordance with the Data Protection Law, we may use your Personal Data as necessary for the provision of our services to you. We may use your Personal Data with your consent, to get in touch with you and offer you other services that we think may be of interest to you. We also may use your Personal Data when it is in our legitimate interests for internal purposes associated with maintaining our business, to ultimately support in providing a safe and effective home care service to you, and for the purpose of marketing. We may also use your Personal Data as required by law, such as for tax purposes and to satisfy the legislative requirements of the Care Regulator.
We may disclose Personal Data (including Sensitive Personal Data) to third parties in certain limited circumstances, such as to our CareGivers, or to any other person or party if we believe such disclosure is in your best interest; appropriate for the performance of the Services; or is required as a matter of law. If another person or organisation is paying your fees, and / or has agreed to guarantee your obligations under your Agreement for the supply of care services, details of their name, address and payment record may also be submitted to a third party.
