We respect and uphold your right to privacy protection under the Australian Privacy Principles (APP’s). This policy describes how we manage any personal information we have about you.
We may hold the following information about you:
ParkView Day Surgery will destroy or de-identify personal information due to redundancy after its legal obligations to retain the information have expired.
The purpose for which it is collected includes:
and with your consent:
We will not disclose personal information about you to any person except on a confidential basis to agents that we use in the ordinary operation of our business, such as for data processing, printing, or mailing. You may at any time opt-out of receiving any communications from us (other than as required for the operation of our business or your successful treatment).
All records are stored in electronic format in a secure environment.
Any hard copy documents are scanned and stored electronically with hard copy documents being destroyed confidentially.
Such records are only accessible by those persons who require access to the personal information to carry out their employment with us or by contractors engaged by us to maintain our computer systems.
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you by writing to our Privacy Officer, at the address noted below or by contacting our staff who will provide you with the necessary information you require. Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will endeavor to provide you with a suitable range of choices as to how you may access it.
If you believe that the personal information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete, or inaccurate, then you may request an amendment to it. We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we do not agree that there are grounds for this, then we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.
Where information is held about a patient who is incapable of giving consent, a responsible person may be deemed appropriate.
Before we disclose personal information to an overseas recipient, reasonable steps will be taken to ensure the overseas recipient does not breach the APP’s in relation to that information.
Any questions about this policy, or any complaint regarding the treatment of your privacy by us, should also be made in writing to the address below:
