Your rights in relation to privacy

This statement sets out how and why we collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information and your rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you. In handling your personal information, we will comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) and with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act. We may vary and update this statement from time to time.
What kinds of personal information does FootBodySole collect?
FootBodySole collects information from clients, including name, contact details and personal medical information. We will only collect the information that is necessary to provide you with our services, and for billing (e.g., to Medicare and Health Funds), and to communicate with you.
You are not obliged to provide information; should you choose not to do so, we will advise you how this will affect your ongoing treatment.
How does FootBodySole collect personal information?
Generally, we collect your personal information directly from you, either when you visit one of our clinics, phone us, complete a form on our website (including but not limited to an online enquiry, an booking form, an online purchase, registration to receive our newsletter, or survey), or if you contact us by SMS or through social media.
In some circumstances, personal information may also be collected from other sources. This may include information from your guardian or responsible person, or from other healthcare providers involved in your care, e.g., when we receive a referral.
