ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy applies to Quatius Healthcare Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 30 149 338 876) website and on-line shop, www.quatiushealthcare.com ("Site").

Quatius Healthcare Australia Pty Ltd understands the importance of protecting your right to privacy and understands your concerns about the security of the personal information you provide to us.   This policy has been prepared to help you understand how we aim to protect the privacy of your personal information.

"Personal information" is information, or an opinion, that identifies an individual, or from which a person’s identity could be ascertained.

The Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 has amended the Privacy Act 1988 to include laws that regulate the way private organisations handle personal information.

The Act contains 10 National Privacy Principles ("NPPs")  which regulate how organisations collect, use, store, protect and destroy  personal information.  The NPPS also identify how an individual may gain access to personal information held about them. The NPPs form part of Quatius Healthcare Australia Pty Ltd procedures and policies relating to the way personal information and details are administered.

This policy details how Quatius Healthcare Australia Pty Ltd manages your personal information submitted through this Site, sets out some of your privacy rights in relation to personal information, and advises how you can contact us with privacy queries.
