Privacy policy

This privacy policy sets out how Care Clinic handle your personal information. We do our best to comply with Australian privacy legislation.

Staying Anonymous

You can browse this website anonymously. If you identify yourself to us, at that point we will collect your personal information.

Collecting personal information

The main way we collect personal information about you is when you give it to us, for example:

  • when you contact us

  • when you submit information to our website

  • when you ask for access to information we hold about you

Indirect collection

We only collect information directly from you.

Social Networking Services and links to other websites

We may provide links to other websites or use social networking services such as Instagram and Facebook to communicate with the public about our practice. These sites have their own privacy policies. When you communicate with us using these services we may collect your personal information. We will only use it to help us to communicate with you and the public. The social networking service will also handle your personal information for its own purposes.

Collecting sensitive information

We do not actively collect sensitive information about you through the website, including information about your health, however we do recognise that you may provide some of that information as part of seeking our services at the clinic. We will take steps to appropriately protect any sensitive information we do receive.

The information collected by these tools may include the IP address of the device you are using and information about sites that IP address has come from, the pages accessed on our site and the next site visited. We use the information to help to track your use of our websites to improve your user experience and the quality of our services.
