Any contract will be communicated in English.
We have taken every care in the preparation of the content of the website, however we cannot guarantee uninterrupted and totally reliable access to the website, and so therefore cannot guarantee that the information will always be completely up to date and free of mistakes.

Information provided by Professor Colin Espie for Sleepio.com is intended for non-medically trained individuals. It does not constitute medical advice and should not be seen as a replacement for consultation with a doctor or other healthcare professional. The information provided by the website is provided with a view to helping you to talk to your doctor or pharmacist and is not a substitute for seeing your doctor or pharmacist. If you are concerned about your sleep problem or sleepiness symptoms or have any other concerns or questions about your health or medicines, you should always consult an appropriate healthcare professional. Be cautious in making any changes to your sleep pattern if you have any serious mental health condition such as depression bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia. Likewise, be cautious about embarking on vigorous exercise if you have any serious medical condition, such as back pain, high blood pressure or heart disease, or if you are pregnant. If you feel excessively sleepy during that day for any reason do not take risks in driving or operating machinery or other equipment, and if sleepiness persists seek professional medical advice. Always seek such advice when contemplating any changes in your prescribed medicines.

This policy (together with our Terms and any other documents referred to on it) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
We may collect and process the following data about you:
We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.
For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. They help us to improve our site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. They enable us:
You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our site.
Please note that when a third party advertises on our site they too may also use cookies. Unfortunately we have no control over these cookies.
Unless it is necessary for the fulfilment of your contract, we don't send the data that we collect from you outside the European Economic Area ('EEA'). However, it may be possible that your data is transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EEA by or to staff who work for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
We use information held about you in the following ways:
Where you have given consent we may also use your data to provide you with information about goods and services which may be of interest to you.
We do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to third parties except in cases described below under 'Disclosure of your information', but we may publish aggregate information about our users (for example, that men aged under 30 have the worst sleeping habits in the UK) in the context of providing public health information, conducting academic research and/or marketing and publicity. We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in SW1). We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers' wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.
We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 736 of the UK Companies Act 1985.
We may disclose your personal information to third parties:
You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for direct marketing purposes. We will inform you (before collecting your data) and will collect your consent in accordance with current legislation if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data or by not entering your email address when prompted. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at hello@sleepio.com.
Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies.
