1.        What Information We Collect From You 

1.1   Personal Information vs. Non-Personal Information 

Our primary goal in collecting information is to provide you with an efficient and personalized experience while using the Website. We collect two types of information: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.

We may collect Personal Information when you make purchases, join our mailing list, fill out surveys, request consultations, or enter promotions. This may also include information about your skin and health history, such as age, gender, allergies, medication use, and health concerns when completing consultations or questionnaires. If you purchase a gift card, we may collect the name and contact details of the recipient. 

Non-Personal Information refers to details that do not identify you personally, such as demographic data, web pages visited, or products of interest. This data may be collected through automated technologies or when you interact with the Website.

You can review, update, or correct your Personal Information by logging into your account on www.gmaclinic.com or emailing us at info@gmaclinic.com.
