Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to West Gippsland Medical Clinic and its subsidiaries and branded products (referred to as 'we' and 'us' in this privacy statement). This privacy statement provides information about the personal information that we collect, and the ways in which we use that personal information.
Personal information collection
We may collect and use the following kinds of personal information:
​
• information about your use of this website;
• information that you provide for the purpose of registering with the website (including your name and contact details);
• information about transactions carried out over this website (including information we collect to enable us to send you electronic copies of annual reports, shareholder notices and dividend statements);
• information that you provide for the purpose of subscribing to the website services (including sending you our newsletter); and
• any other information that you send to us.
Using personal information
We may use your personal information to:
• administer this website;
• enable your access to and use of the website services;
• send you statements and invoices;
• collect payments from you; and
• send you marketing communications.
Where we disclose your personal information to our agents or sub-contractors for these purposes, the agent or sub-contractor in question will be obligated to use that personal information in accordance with the terms of this privacy statement.
In addition to the disclosures reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere above, we may disclose your personal information to the extent that it is required to do so by law, in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings, and in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.
Securing of your data

We may update this privacy policy by posting a new version on this website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are familiar with any changes.
Emails
When patients contact our clinic via email, we would like to advise you that any communication via email is not monitored on a regular basis and any health related information should be discussed directly with the practice via the phone.
General emails do not use secure encryption. This makes it very possible for your emails to be read by a third party. We strongly recommend you do not use emails to send through to us your private and confidential information.
