[woodmart_title font_weight=”700″ align=”left” tag=”h2″ woodmart_css_id=”5eaedb57bbdd5″ title=”PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTION” title_width=”100″]

Very often, we are required to collect certain personal information from you to be able to provide requested products or services and perform our functions and activities.

The kinds of personal information that we collect and the store might include your contact details, age, address, prescription details and other health and wellness information.

In certain circumstances, we may also collect your personal information from third parties, as outlined in the “Exchange of personal information with third parties” section below.

[woodmart_title font_weight=”700″ align=”left” tag=”h2″ woodmart_css_id=”5eaedbf5dcb88″ title=”SENSITIVE INFORMATION” woodmart_empty_space=”” title_width=”100″]

In some circumstances, we may collect sensitive information (including but not limited to health information such as the details that appear on a prescription or details you provide to us.

[woodmart_title font_weight=”700″ align=”left” tag=”h2″ woodmart_css_id=”5eaedc153ab98″ title=”USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION” woodmart_empty_space=”” title_width=”100″]

We will use your personal information for the reasons we collected it and for other reasonable business purposes in that we may database, store and process your personal information to provide you with the service you requested and so that we can perform our functions and activities.

For example, we may use your personal information as follows:

Processing your purchases/orders and requests for orders/services in-store;
To fulfill prescriptions;
Being aware of any special product and service requirements you may have;
Advising you of any changes to our products and services;
Confirming your identity when you contact us;
Addressing any feedback or complaints you may have;
Communicating directly with you and providing marketing communications and targeted advertising to you on an ongoing basis by telephone, electronic messages (e.g. email or SMS), or digital services and other means;
Where you consent, developing, improving and marketing our products and services to you;
To provide you with information related to your health, wellness and/or prescriptions that we think may be of interest to you or that you have requested;
To create and maintain a health and wellness diagnostic and user record for you and provide recommendations in relation to your health and wellness and its management, and allow you access to certain aspects of the same via our website;
To store it in databases that allow analytics and easier performance of our functions;
For diagnostic, maintenance, security and servicing test purposes; and
Any purposes for which it was requested and related purposes.

If we use or disclose your personal information for a purpose (the “secondary purpose”) other than the main reason for which it was originally collected (the “primary purpose”), to the extent required by law, we will ensure that:

The secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose of collection (and directly related in the case of sensitive information), and you would reasonably expect that we would use or disclose your information in that way; or
You have consented to the use or disclosure of your personal information for the secondary purpose; or
The use or disclosure is required or authorised by or under the law; or
The use or disclosure is otherwise permitted by the Australian Privacy Principles or other law (for example, as a necessary part of an investigation of suspected unlawful activity).

For any of the above purposes, we may contact you by telephone, electronic, postal or other means.

If you do not provide us with your personal information, we may be unable to do one or more of the above. However, where it is lawful or practical to do so, you may choose to deal with us anonymously (for example, when enquiring about our goods and services generally).

By providing us your personal information, you consent to management of your personal information in the manner specified in this Privacy Policy (which may change from time to time) until you tell us to the contrary by contacting us using our contact details below.

Personal information we collect may be disclosed to select third parties for purposes related to our functions and activities. Where the personal information may be disclosed exactly will depend on the nature of the information and the purposes for which it was collected. For example, the personal information we collect from you may be disclosed:

To any entity to which we are required or authorised by or under the law to disclose such information (for instance, Federal or State law enforcement agencies, regulatory and investigative agencies, courts, various other Federal or State government bodies);
To our related entities;
To others that you have been informed of at the time any personal information is collected from you or at a subsequent time;
To our business associates and others for purposes directly related to the purpose for which the personal information is collected;
To our personnel;
To health practitioners and nurses employed by us or contracted with us, or working with us through one of our service providers;
To our professional advisors, service providers, business partners that we have teamed up with to provide you with a service or goods, agents and other contractors (for example IT and software/hardware consultants and providers, marketing agencies who manage activities for us, data management providers, lawyers and mailing houses); and
With your consent (express or implied), to others.

We may also obtain personal and other information from some or all of the above to enable us to provide or market our services or products to you and provide other elements outlined above.

When we obtain personal and other information from third parties whom we are referred to by you, you must ensure that you have made that third party aware of the referral of the persons and purposes involved in the collection, use and disclosure of the relevant personal or other information.

Unless indicated otherwise by us, we will not disclose your personal information to any entities located overseas.
