Collection of Your Personal Information and Anonymity

A client’s personal information is only collected when it is “reasonably necessary” to do so and is usually collected through information provided by you on our Confidential Client Record Form, on our Online Booking System (hosted by a secure Third Party provider) and/or through consumer queries.

This information may include:

>information on any health conditions you may have;

Use and Disclosure of your Personal Information

Your information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company other than for the express purpose of delivering the service requested. We may employ the services of a debt collection agency for the purposes of recovering unpaid and outstanding fees (including cancellation fees) for services provided. However we will only share your basic contact details and only after making significant efforts with you to recover any outstanding fees. We will make every possible attempt to ensure we inform you as to the reasons for which we may require the information collected, and that your information is protected and treated confidentially and in accordance with the Privacy Act.

Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one or more of the following ways:

>To personalise your experience.  Your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs.

>To confirm your appointment time.  Your information enables us to ensure you are booked for the appointment of your choice at the correct time.
