For some emails we can track, at an individual level, whether the user has opened and clicked on links in the email. We rarely use the latter information at a personal level, rather we use it to understand open and click rates on our emails to try to improve them. Sometimes we do use the personal information, eg to re-email people who didn’t click the first time. If you want to be sure that none of your email activity is tracked then you should opt out of Henleys Medical Supplies Limited’s emails which you can do by emailing “UNSUBSCRIBE” to
