DISCLOSURE
de Spa is dedicated to keeping your details private.  Any information we collect in relation to you is kept strictly secured.  We will not disclose any of your personal information to anyone without your consent, unless we are required to by law to do so.

Your personal information will not be disclosed to any overseas recipients without your consent, such as for the purpose of delivering products you have ordered to an overseas address, where you have requested this.

However, your personal information may be disclosed where you yourself have disclosed such information as a result of submitting a review on our website or posting content to our social media platforms.  This is because the reviews you submit or the content you post are visible to anyone who may access our website or social media accounts from time to time.

We will grant you access to the extent required or authorised by law and take steps reasonable in the circumstances to correct personal information where necessary and appropriate.  To obtain access to your personal information:

(a) you will have to provide proof of identity;

(b) you must be reasonably specific about the information you require; and

(c) we may charge you a reasonable administration fee, which reflects the cost to us for providing access in accordance with your request.
