Privacy policy
Last Updated: September 9 2019
Adelaide West Physio and Pilates and Adelaide West Headache Clinic take the issue of privacy for our clients, customers, and website visitors very seriously.
This practice is committed to complying with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles 2014 and the privacy provisions of all applicable legislation.
This privacy policy covers all personal information we hold, that is, information, or an opinion about an individual, whose identity is apparent, or can be reasonably ascertained, from that information or opinion. This includes information we have collected from people through our office, over the phone and over the internet.
We strive to offer our website visitors the many advantages of learning more about our business and our services in an online environment, and to provide an interactive and personalised experience. We may use personally identifiable information if you choose to supply any (for example, your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy.
We may in the future advertise using Google AdWords, Facebook advertising and other third parties, so it is important that these policies are available to read. These third party websites use cookies to select appropriate ads. You can opt out of Google cookies by clicking through to www.google.com/settings/ads
We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party. Full stop. Ever.
Collecting information
When we collect personal information from an individual, we will ensure that we do so in a fair manner and that we let the individual know where and how to contact our organisation.
We will only collect information that is necessary for one or more of our functions or activities.
We will advise individuals the purpose for which their personal information is collected.
If we collect sensitive information (as defned under the Act), we will treat it with the utmost security and confidentiality. We will ensure that it is not collected for any purposes, other than those for which we have obtained the individual’s consent, unless the law requires otherwise, or other exceptional circumstances prevail as described under the Act.
Where an individual chooses not to provide requested information, we will advise that individual of what consequences this non-disclosure may have. For example, withholding certain information may limit our ability to provide relevant offers or services to individuals.
How we gather information from online users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our or when you make a purchase.
Like most websites, we also collect information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognise you and hold information from your visit.
Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means.
In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to customise the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect

Aggregated information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Importnantly, this information does not include any personally identifiable information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use personally identifiable information collected on our website to communicate with you about your registration and customisation preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by Adelaide West Physio and Pilates and Adelaide West Headache Clinic and other topics we think you might find of interest.
