4. Website analytics and cookies
The HealthWorx Futures website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website and understand how visitors use it.
We may use website analytics services, including services provided by Google, to collect information such as:
- pages visited;
- approximate geographic location;
- device and browser information;
- how visitors arrived at the website;
- time spent on different parts of the site.
This information is generally used in aggregated form to understand website performance and improve our content.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect the way parts of the website function.
5. Disclosure to third parties
We do not sell personal information.
We may disclose or make personal information available to third parties where reasonably necessary to operate our business or provide our services. These may include:
- website hosting and technology providers;
- email and newsletter platforms;
- analytics providers;
- cloud storage and business software providers;
- professional advisers and contractors who assist us in carrying out our work;
- government, regulatory or law-enforcement bodies where disclosure is required or authorised by law.
We take reasonable steps to use reputable providers and to limit the information shared to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
6. Overseas processing and storage
Some of the technology and online services used by HealthWorx Futures are operated by international providers or may store or process information outside Australia.
As a result, personal information may in some circumstances be stored, accessed or processed overseas, including through cloud, analytics, email and publishing services.
Where Australian privacy law applies, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information disclosed overseas is handled appropriately and in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.
Because international technology providers may use distributed infrastructure, it may not always be practicable to identify every country in which information is processed.
7. Research and consulting information
HealthWorx Futures undertakes consulting, advisory and research work for organisations.
Information collected or received as part of a specific client project may be subject to separate contractual confidentiality, privacy, ethics, data-management or security requirements. Where those arrangements impose additional requirements, those requirements will apply to the relevant project.
We do not publish confidential client information or identifiable research information without appropriate authority or consent.
8. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
These measures may include appropriate access controls, password protection, reputable cloud and technology providers, secure systems and limiting access to information to people who require it for legitimate business purposes.
No electronic system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate business or professional purposes, or to meet applicable legal, contractual, taxation or record-keeping obligations.
Information that is no longer required may be securely deleted, destroyed or de-identified where appropriate.
10. Accessing or correcting your information
You may contact us if you would like to:
- know what personal information we hold about you;
- request access to that information;
- ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date; or
- raise a concern about how your personal information has been handled.
We may need to verify your identity before providing access to personal information.
In some circumstances, Australian law may permit or require us to refuse access. If this occurs, we will explain the reason where appropriate.
11. Privacy concerns and complaints
If you have a question or concern about privacy, please contact us in the first instance.
We will consider your concern and aim to respond within a reasonable period.
If the Australian Privacy Principles apply to the matter and you are not satisfied with our response, you may also be entitled to make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
