Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Diabetes Life & General Practitioner collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Diabetes Life & General Practitioner’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Diabetes Life & General Practitioner’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Diabetes Life & General Practitioner may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Diabetes Life & General Practitioner also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Diabetes Life & General Practitioner only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Diabetes Life & General Practitioner’s website choose to interact with Diabetes Life & General Practitioner in ways that require Diabetes Life & General Practitioner to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Diabetes Life & General Practitioner gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. We collect their emails for those who wish to receive Diabetes Life & General Practitioner updates via email. In each case, Diabetes Life & General Practitioner collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Diabetes Life & General Practitioner.

Diabetes Life & General Practitioner will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Diabetes Life & General Practitioner discloses potentially personally identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Diabetes Life & General Practitioner believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Diabetes Life & General Practitioner, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Diabetes Life & General Practitioner website and have supplied your email address, Diabetes Life & General Practitioner may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Diabetes Life & General Practitioner and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Diabetes Life & General Practitioner takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Retention of Personal Information
We will retain your personal information on our systems only for as long as we need to. We keep contact information (such as mailing list information) until a user unsubscribes or requests that we delete that information from our live systems. If you choose to unsubscribe from a mailing list, we may keep certain limited information about you so that we may honour your request.
When deletion is requested or otherwise required, we will anonymize the data of data subjects and/or remove their information from publicly accessible sites if the deletion of data would break essential systems or damage the logs or records necessary to the operation, development, or archival records.
If you would like to request deletion of your account and associated data, please visit our Contact Form and submit a request for deletion. We will reply once the process is complete.
