We will not disclose your health information to third parties without your consent, except where required by law or in an emergency situation involving your health and safety.

6. Disclosure of Personal Information

We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with:

  • Analytics providers, including Google and Microsoft (see Section 7)
  • Email providers that receive a copy of website enquiries, including Telstra BigPond (see Section 8)
  • Authorities where required by law

All third-party service providers are engaged on terms that require them to handle personal information appropriately.

7. Website Analytics

Our website may use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics collects anonymised data such as pages visited, time on site, and general location. This data does not identify you personally.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We also use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use our website. Clarity records how you interact with our pages — such as clicks, scrolling and the pages you view — and can produce heatmaps and replays of browsing sessions. We use this only to improve our website. Clarity is provided by Microsoft, uses cookies, and Microsoft may process this information outside Australia, including in the United States. For more information, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement. You can block or delete these cookies in your browser settings.

8. Contact Forms

When you submit our contact form, your message is sent directly to our clinic's email system — we do not use a third-party form-processing service. We receive your name, email address, phone number and message content, and a copy is also sent to a separate email account provided by Telstra (BigPond) so your enquiry can be actioned promptly. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not used for any other purpose without your consent.

We also send a short confirmation email to the address you give us. It does not repeat the content of your message.

9. Cookies

Our website may use cookies to improve your browsing experience, including cookies set by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity (see Section 7). Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, though some site features may not function correctly if you do.

10. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access. Our website uses HTTPS encryption. Clinical records are stored securely and access is restricted to authorised personnel.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Your Rights

Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate or outdated information
  • Lodge a complaint about how we handle your personal information

To exercise these rights, contact us at Email Us or 07 5446 2884.
