Introduction
1. This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by McKenzie Aged Care Group.
2. McKenzie Aged Care Group is committed to complying with Commonwealth & State legislation governing privacy of personal information by businesses and to protecting and safeguarding your privacy when you deal with us.
Collection of information
3. Some information provided to us by clients, customers, contractors and other third parties might be considered private or personal. Without these details we would not be able to conduct business or provide our services. We will only collect such details or information if it is necessary for one of our functions or conduct business. Personal information may be collected from people who contact McKenzie Aged Care Group, when we keep a record of that correspondence.
4. When personal information is collected by us we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of who we are, the fact that you are able to gain access to the information held about you, the purpose of the collection, the type(s) of organisations to which we usually disclose the information collected about you, any laws requiring the collection of the information and the main consequences for you if all or part of the information is not collected.
Use of information collected and disclosure of personal information to others
5. We may use or disclose personal information held about an individual for the primary purpose for which it is collected (eg. provision of our services, including administration of our services, notification to you about changes to our services, record-keeping following termination of our services to you and technical maintenance). We may also use such information for a purpose related to the primary purpose of collection and where it would reasonably be expected by you that we would use the information in such a way. This information is only disclosed to persons outside our business in the circumstances set out in this policy or as otherwise notified to you at the time of collection of the information.
6. In addition, we are permitted to use or disclose personal information held about you:
- where you have consented to the use or disclosure;
- where we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious, immediate threat to someone's health or safety or the public's health or safety;
- where we reasonably suspect that unlawful activity has been, is being or may be engaged in and the use or disclosure is a necessary part of our investigation or in reporting the matter to the relevant authorities;
- where such use or disclosure is required under or authorised by law (e.g. comply with a subpoena, warrant or other court order or legal process);
- where we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is reasonably necessary for prevention, investigation, prosecution and punishment of crimes or wrongdoings or the preparation for, conduct of, proceedings before any court or tribunal or the implementation of the orders of a court or tribunal by or on behalf of an enforcement body.
Information Security and Storage
7. McKenzie Aged Care Group places a great importance on the security of all information and we have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of personal information under our control.
8. Personal information is de-identified or destroyed securely when no longer required.
9. McKenzie Aged Care Group retains the information you provide to retain adequate records for legal, clinical, care service and accounting purposes. This information is held on secure servers in controlled facilities.
10. Information stored within our computer systems can only be accessed by those entrusted with authority and computer network password sanctions.
11. No data transmission or email over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 per cent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect user's personal information, McKenzie Aged Care Group cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to it or from its online services, and users do so at their own risk. Once we receives your transmission, we make every effort to ensure its security on its systems.
12. Ultimately, individual users are solely responsible for maintaining passwords and/or account information secret. We urge you to be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
