Automatic data collection

Websites

Depending on your tracking preferences, ESTA may use a variety of technologies, such as trackers and cookies, that collect and provide information about how our websites or applications are accessed and used. Such information may relate to your web browser, operating system, service provider, the web pages you have visited, the time and duration of your visit, as well as demographic information.

Please see our Cookie Notice for more information about the cookies and trackers used on our website.

Services

When you use the Services, network data may also be collected. The data may include log information about users ( including IP addresses), usage information (types of services users use, performance metrics and computer settings) and data collected by cookies or similar technologies.

Information we collect from trusted third parties:

If your Personal Information has been collected through your (i) interactions or uses of our website, or other communication channels, such as WhatsApp, phone call, call center, email or any electronic means, (ii) registrations or attendances at our events, or (iii) for the provision of the Services, your Personal Information, as stored with our CRM service provider, may be expanded or updated to ensure that it is accurate and up to date and allows us to achieve the purpose for which it was originally collected. Please note that information used to augment and update your Personal Information, obtained from the use of third party data sets, does not constitute Personal Information but merely refers to data elements relating to your organisation's name, structure, industry and similar attributes.

Please note that we may also obtain non-personal information to supplement or update the Personal Information we already hold about you.


Personal information we collect from you on our Websites, Products or Events:

  • To customise the Website according to your interests.
  • To set up a user account.
  • To improve our websites and ensure they are presented in the most effective manner for you and your device.
  • To conduct marketing and advertising activities, to improve products and services, and to conduct surveys or trend analysis.
  • To carry out internal operations such as data analysis, testing, troubleshooting, surveys and for statistical purposes.
  • To help maintain the security of our websites.
  • To contact you by email, telephone, fax, WhatsApp, any electronic means or regular mail for medical research purposes.
  • To register your Mia® diamonds and minimally invasive system through your account, including internal record keeping, to provide customer service and to answer your questions about your Products.

Our use of Personal Data may be based on our legitimate interests in ensuring security, improving business performance and network operations. In addition, our legitimate interests may be based on our legitimate interests to improve business and marketing practices or to communicate with you to provide you with services or products similar to those you have already purchased from us. Direct marketing purposes are based on your consent.

The use of Personal Data for Mia® comprehensive coverage may be based on the conclusion of a contract with you and your explicit consent to use this data in the performance of the contract. In these cases, the provision of Personal Data is necessary to enable the proper execution of the Mia® comprehensive cover and to register your Mia® diamonds and the minimally invasive system. Without your permission it may be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to accurately obtain data to verify the implantation dates of your Mia® diamonds.

Personal information we collect from you through the administration of our Services:

  • To send customers technical notices, updates, security notifications and administrative communications.
  • To process and complete transactions and send related information, including transaction confirmations and invoices.
  • To investigate and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorised access to the Services and other illegal activity.
  • To manage our customers' use of the Services, respond to enquiries and feedback, and provide customer service and support.
  • For any other purpose of which we notify customers and users.
  • Cookies: When users access our websites or applications, we use strictly necessary cookies and other trackers to provide authentication tools, enhance security and prevent fraud. For more information about our use of cookies and other trackers, please see the ESTA Cookie Notice.

Generally, our legitimate interests may justify the use of your Personal Data in these contexts, whether for security purposes or to improve business, such as in the investigation and prevention of fraudulent activity.

The provision of Personal Data in these cases may be necessary to enable access to some of the Services. If you choose not to provide Personal Data, you may experience unavailability of some Services.

Business Data Analytics:

If your Personal Data has been collected (i) directly from you through our Websites, Products or Events, or (ii) as part of the administration of our Services, your Personal Data may be used for business data analytics purposes, depending on the scope and purpose of such analytics.

Security

We are committed to ensuring the security of your personal data. We implement a variety of security measures to prevent accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of data.

International data transfers

ESTA is a globally operating company. Due to this fact, Personal Data of individuals who visit our Websites, use our Products or use our Services or otherwise interact with us may be transferred or accessed from around the world, such as from countries where ESTA, its affiliates or our service providers operate.

We will always protect your Personal Data in accordance with this Notice wherever it is processed. ESTA does not voluntarily or actively transfer or disclose our customers' Personal Data to governmental or law enforcement authorities ("Authorities") or grant any Authorities access to your Personal Data. In the event of a request from the Authorities, we have procedures and controls in place to ensure that such a request is assessed in accordance with our internal data protection policy.

Information for users in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or the United Kingdom ("UK"):

Due to the global nature of its operations, ESTA may transfer Personal Data from the EEA or the UK to the United States, Costa Rica and other countries, including Personal Data we receive from individuals residing in the EEA or the UK who visit our Websites or use our Services or otherwise interact with us. Where ESTA may transfer your Personal Data outside the EEA or the UK, this is based on:

  • Adequacy Decisions:
    • European Commission, pursuant to Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
    • UK Secretary of State, based on Article 45 of the UK's GDPR and Section 17A of the Data Protection Act 2018; or
  • Standard contractual clauses:
    • European Commission
    • Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

The European Commission and the ICO have determined that the above standard contractual clauses can provide sufficient safeguards to protect personal data transferred outside the EEA and the UK. For more information, please visit https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en and https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/international-data-transfer-agreement-and-guidance/.

ESTA conducts impact assessments of transfers and monitors such transfers to ensure that they maintain a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to that provided by European and UK data protection laws.
