How We Store And Protect Your Personal Information

 

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it, unless we are required or permitted by law to retain it.

 

We do not permanently store complete credit card details. Payment information is processed and stored through the third-party practice management and payment systems we use.

 

Some of the service providers we use may store or process personal information on servers located outside Australia. Where this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
