2. Collection of your personal information
The Privacy Act provides that individuals must have the option of not identifying themselves, or of using a pseudonym, when dealing with our practice, except in certain circumstances, such as where it is impracticable for us to deal with you if you have not identified yourself. However, for access to many additional ADHD-BED Integrated® client features on the website or to become a patient you are required to submit personally identifiable information.
Types of information we may collect:
Personal Information: Personal information is information defined as such under the Privacy Act and is used to specifically identify an individual, such as a user’s name, address, and e-mail address. Personal information also includes demographic information, such as date of birth, gender, geographic area, and preferences, when such information is linked to other personal information that identifies the individual. We may also collect and store the following personal information and material should you become a patient:
Your name, address, date of birth, email and contact details
Medicare number, DVA number and other government identifiers
Other health information about you, including:
notes of your symptoms or diagnosis and the treatment given to you
your specialist reports and test results
your appointment and billing details
your prescriptions and other pharmaceutical purchases
your dental records
your genetic information
your healthcare identifier
any other information about your race, sexuality or religion, when collected by a health service provider.
Usage Information: Personal information does not include usage information. Usage information is data we collect about our services and client usage of those services, from which individual client identities have been removed. In other words, information about how you use a service might be collected and combined with information about how others use the same service, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data. Usage information helps us understand trends and client needs so we can better refine and introduce features to improve user experience. We might share usage information about our users with third parties for various purposes, such as helping us better understand and improve our services, and for advertising and marketing purposes.
And any other such information or material that we deem necessary and which may or may not include personal or health information.
