Personal Information that we collect about you
Personal Information is information or an opinion about you, whether true or not, which identifies you or from which your identity can be reasonably obtained. MD Cosmedical Solutions only collects information which is necessary for one or more of its business functions. We collect personal information from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, online and offline channels (our website, telephone, in person, and facsimile). This information is obtained directly from you, such as when you voluntarily provide it through the ‘Contact Us’ form on our website, when you visit our boutique in person, or over the phone. By providing us with personal information, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. The type of information we may collect about you include:
- If you contact us to make a general enquiry about our services, we will generally collect your contact information, such as your name, email address and phone number so that we may respond to you;
- If you engage us to facilitate a procedure or treatment for you, or enquire about your eligibility for a particular procedure or treatment, we will generally collect your contact information, such as your name, email address and phone number. In addition, we may also collect information which may be considered ‘Sensitive Information’ under the Privacy Act where necessary, such as your date of birth, photographs of you, consent to treatment, medical history and medicare number, to help us perform that procedure.
- If you engage us to facilitate a procedure or treatment for you, we will generally collect your payment details, such as your debit or credit card details, in order to fulfill payment of those services provided to you.
Sensitive Information
Sensitive information is defined in the Privacy Act to include information or opinion about an individual’s race, ethnicity, political views, membership in political groups, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership in trade unions or professional organisations, criminal records or health information.
Sensitive information will be used by us only:
- For the primary purpose for which it was obtained;
- With your express consent; or
- Where required or authorised by law.
Collection from Third Parties
Where reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your Personal Information only from you. However, in some circumstances we may be provided with information by third parties. In such a case we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of the information provided to us by the third party.
Direct Marketing
Like most businesses, we use direct marketing to promote our business from time to time. We may add your email address to our email marketing database so we can send you information and updates about products and services we think you may be interested in. If we send you an email that does not relate to your personal cosmedical interests, you will have the option of unsubscribing from receiving further communications of that nature. You may also opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by contacting us at info@mdcosmedicalsolutions.com.au.
To whom do we disclose your Personal Information to?
Your Personal Information may be disclosed in some circumstances, including the following:
- Our employees and related bodies corporate;
- Our professional advisors;
- Where required or authorised by law; and
- Other Third parties where you consent to the use or disclosure.
How do we protect your Information?
We take the security of your Personal Information seriously and have implemented reasonable measures to protect it from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Your Personal Information is either held by us as physical records or electronically on a secure database with restricted access. We will destroy or de-identify your Personal Information once it is no longer needed for a valid purpose or required to be kept by law.
Access to your Personal Information
Subject to the applicable exceptions under the Privacy Act, you may access the Personal Information we hold about you at any time by sending a written request to info@wordpress-1091601-4455572.cloudwaysapps.com.
