This is Highett Podiatry's Privacy Policy. It explains how we collect, use and handle any personal information we collect from you when you use Cycling Orthotic’s website. We understand your disclosure of personal information is a serious matter; so the protection and appropriate use of your personal information is important to us. In this Privacy Policy the term “personal information” has the same meaning as in the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and includes information that can be used to personally identify you.

Personal information about visitors to www.cyclingorthotics.com.au is collected only when knowingly and voluntarily submitted. For example, we may need to collect such information to provide you with further services or to answer or forward any requests or enquiries. It is our intention that this policy will protect your personal information from being dealt with in any way that is inconsistent with applicable privacy laws in Australia.

Personal information that visitors submit to our site is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted or for such other secondary purposes that are related to the primary purpose, unless we disclose other uses in this Internet Privacy Policy or at the time of collection.

Copies of correspondence sent from the website, data from Google's Interest-based advertising or 3rd-party audience data (such as age, gender and interests) with Google Analytics, that may contain personal information, are stored as archives for record-keeping and back-up purposes only.

We provide ‘support’ links on Cycling Orthotics that enable you to send emails directly to us (for example, if you need assistance with any of our services or generally in relation to Highett Podiatry). We will retain emails you send for the purposes of contacting you and for our internal purposes.

We may engage third parties to undertake some of Cycling Orthotic’s services or related services such as hosting, archiving, data security and email communications. We may provide those third parties access to personal information for the sole purpose of them providing their services to us. We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that those third parties only use your personal information for the specific purposes for which it is provided to them and consistently with this Privacy Policy.

We may also disclose your personal information:

• to our professional advisors;

• to law enforcement authorities, if we suspect that an unlawful act is being committed or that such disclosure will prevent that unlawful act; or

• as otherwise required or authorised by law.

Other than the types of disclosures set out in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise agreed by you, we will not disclose your personal information to any third party.
