Privacy Policy

Your Privacy is Important to us

At the Sunshine Coast Psychology Clinic ("SCPC") we recognise the importance of maintaining the privacy of information that may be used to personally identify you. We are committed protecting the confidentiality of this information. Our practices for dealing with any such information that you may provide or that we may collect through your use of this website or any contact you make with us using any other means, are set out in this document. By visiting our website and or sending us an email or making an enquiry or request using any means you are agreeing to permit SCPC to keep and use the information you have given us in a manner that is consistent with this policy.

This privacy policy does not apply to information we may receive from or about you from other third party sources including websites that link to or from www.sunshine-coast-psychology.com.au. This website may use a cookie which is a tiny text file on your computer that captures no personally identifiable information, but enables us to log which pages you visit on the website or to provide certain features during your visit. You may set your browser to refuse to accept cookies; but in that case some features of the website may not function properly.

If you visit this website to read or download information, we do not collect your name or email address. No information we collect during your visit is traceable back to a specific person without a court order. We may collect and store the name and internet protocol (IP) address of the host computer you use to access the internet; information about your web browser; the date and time you accessed our website and whether or not you came to us through a link from another website, in which case we may record details of the website from which you linked to us.

If you send us an email, or other message providing your name or other personal details, we may keep this information. We may use it to send an answer to your question or to deliver information or service you have requested delivery of. We may use this information to provide you with information we believe you will be interested; however, you may request that we stop doing this at any time by contacting us at info@scpc.net.au

We use all such information for general purposes, in order to measure the number of visitors to various pages on our website and in order to identify ways to make it more helpful. We also use it to monitor network traffic and to identify unauthorized access or unusual activity. We do not sell this information to third party companies.

We may disclose information about our website visitors to third parties, such as contractors, consultants and other service providers, so that they can perform a support service for you, and or SCPC. We may also disclose this information if required to do so by applicable law or regulation, such as any judicial process or to comply with a request from regulators.

This policy may not apply to information provided to us by other businesses. Information submit by a business entity may be used and disclosed in the same ways as information that we receive outside of this website, but used only in accordance with the provisions of applicable law and any applicable agreements between our companies.

SCPC has adopted policies and practices designed to protect the security and confidentiality of any information we receive about or collect from you, to protect against reasonable security threats or hazards as well as the integrity of the information as well as unauthorized access to or use of the information that could result in harm or inconvenience.

SCPC uses a variety of security measures to protect the transmission of information submitted to us through this website. Although we strive to maintain a high standard of security and privacy, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we make no such guarantee.

We reserve the right to alter and update this policy in the future. Any changes to it will be posted on this section of our website. Please check it periodically for any changes. When it is updated the date of the update will appear on this page.
