    Processing personal information in necessary for providing therapeutic services such as counselling and psychotherapy.

    (13) KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SECURE

You acknowledge, agree and accept that no transmission of information or data via the internet, or electronic storage of data, is completely secure. You acknowledge, agree and accept that we do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information that you provide to us, and that you transmit such information at your own risk. However, we take the protection and storage of your personal information very seriously.

    (b) We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it.

    (14) TRANSFERS OF YOUR INFORMATION TO OTHER JURISDICTIONS

    (a) Our business is based in Australia.

    (b) We may need to share some of the information that we collect about you from the UK and/or the European Economic Area ("EEA") with organisations both inside and outside Australia. In some cases, we may need to ask you before we do this.

    (c) Australia has strict data protection laws but they vary in some respects from the data protection laws in the UK and the EEA. In addition, the European Commission has not given a formal decision that Australia provides an adequate level of data protection similar to that which applies in the UK and EEA.

    (d) We might also store your information in cloud storage or some other form of networked storage. This storage may be accessible from various countries via the internet, which means it is not always practicable to determine the countries in which your information might be stored or accessed. If this occurs, then this might mean that your information is disclosed in countries other than those listed above.

    (e) Many countries outside of the UK and the EEA do not have the same data protection laws as the UK and EEA. In addition, the European Commission may not have given a formal decision that the relevant countries provide an adequate level of data protection similar to that which applies in the UK and EEA.

    (f) If we transfer, share, store or handle your information outside of the UK or the EEA, it will only be done with relevant protections in place. We will take steps to ensure that your information will be protected in accordance with applicable data protection laws and in accordance with legally recognised data transfer mechanisms, for example:

    - where the European Commission has given a formal decision that the relevant country provides an adequate level of data protection similar to that which applies in the UK and EEA
    - by adopting a European Commission approved contract, or standard data protection clauses in the form of template transfer clauses adopted by the Commission, that will safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a security breach
    - in accordance with a set of European Commission approved binding corporate rules that will safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a security breach
    - subject to our compliance with an approved code of conduct approved by a supervisory authority that will safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a security breach
    - subject to the terms of our certification under an approved certification mechanism as provided for in the GDPR that will safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a security breach

    (g) Any transfers to these countries will be undertaken on the basis that the country, territory or one or more specific sectors in that country, or an international organisation ensures an adequate level of protection.

    (h) For more information on the basis of any non-EEA transfers, our safeguards or Commission details, please contact us as described below.


    (15) ACCESSING, UPDATING AND CORRECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

    (a) We are committed to ensuring that any of your personal information which we are holding is accurate and kept up to date.

    (b) We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal information which is inaccurate (having regard to the purposes for which it was processed) is erased or rectified without delay.

    (c) You have the right to request access to any of your personal information which we are holding.

    (d) You have the right to request that any of your personal information which we are holding be updated or corrected.

    (e) In order to request access, an update or a correction to your personal information, you may contact us using the details at the end of this Privacy Policy.


    (16) WHAT OTHER RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE?

    (a) Under the GDPR you have a number of important rights, including the rights to:

    - fair processing of information and transparency over how we use your personal information
    - access to your personal information and to certain other supplementary information that this Privacy Policy is already designed to address
    - require us to correct any mistakes in your information which we hold
    - require the erasure of personal information concerning you in certain situations, (such as if the purpose for which we collected the personal information is no longer necessary or required)
    - receive the personal information concerning you which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to a third party in certain situations
    - object at any time to processing of personal information concerning you for direct marketing
    - object to decisions being taken by automated means which produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you
    - object in certain other situations to our continued processing of your personal information
    - otherwise restrict our processing of your personal information in certain circumstances
    - claim compensation for damages caused by our breach of any data protection laws

    (b) For further information on each of those rights, including the circumstances in which they apply, refer to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (https://www.oaic.gov.au/) or see the Guidance from the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) on individual's rights under the GDPR (http://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/)

    (c) If you would like to exercise any of these rights please:

    - email, call or write to us
    - let us have enough information to identify you
    - let us have proof of your identity (a copy of your driving license, passport or a recent credit card/utility bill)
    - let us know the information to which your request relates

    (d) From time to time we may also have other methods to unsubscribe (opt-out) from any direct marketing including for example, unsubscribe buttons or web links. If such are offered, please note that there may be some period after selecting to unsubscribe in which marketing may still be received while your request is being processed.


    (17) GOVERNING LAW

    This Privacy Policy is subject to the laws of New South Wales, Australia and each party submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia.


    (18) HOW TO COMPLAIN

    (a) We take customer satisfaction very seriously. If you have a complaint in relation to our handling of your personal information, we will endeavour to handle it promptly and fairly. For your information, an overview of our complaints handling procedure is as follows:

    (I) Any complaints are forwarded to our complaints officer for review. We aim to review all complaints within 7 days of receiving them (although this cannot be guaranteed). If necessary, the complaints officer may then refer the complaint to another section within our organisation for consideration. If further information is required, we may contact you to request that information. If we accept fault in relation to the complaint then we will propose a resolution (which may or may not be the same as any resolution proposed by you). If we do not accept fault, then we will contact you to advise you of this. We aim to complete this entire process within 21 days, provided that we are provided complete information in the first place (although this cannot be guaranteed). However, if you do not provide complete information then this is likely to delay the handling of your complaint.

    (II) All complaints should be provided in writing either by email or regular mail, using the contact details at the end of this Privacy Policy. Describe the nature of your complaint including any relevant dates, people involved, any consequences that have occurred, and what you believe should be done to rectify the issue. We will endeavour to respond within 21 days, although we cannot guarantee this.

    (III) If you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint, you may refer your complaint to the relevant external dispute resolution organisation in your area.

    (IV) The GDPR also gives you the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the European Union (or European Economic Area) state where you work, normally live or where any alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred. The supervisory authority in Australia is the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (https://www.oaic.gov.au/) and the supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner (https://ico.org.uk/concerns/).
