Sharing of Your Personal InformationExcept as described in this statement, we will not disclose your personal information outside Acupuncturesupply.co.uk and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your consent. Some Acupuncturesupply.co.uk sites allow you to choose to share your personal information with selected Acupuncturesupply.co.uk partners so that they can contact you about their products, services or offers.

Some Acupuncturesupply.co.uk services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another company.

They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on Acupuncturesupply.co.uk; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of superherb.co.uk (including the enforcement of our agreements); or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of aucupuncturesupply.co.uk services or members of the public.Security of Your Personal Information Acupuncturesupply.co.uk is committed to protecting the security of your personal information.

Use of Third Party Ad NetworksThe majority of the online banner advertisements you see on Acupuncturesupply.co.uk Web pages are displayed by Acupuncturesupply.co.uk.
