Management and Security of Personal Information

We store personal and health information in both paper and electronic form. The security of personal and health
information is very important to us and we take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, interference and loss and
from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Some of the ways we do this include:

  • Requiring our staff to maintain confidentiality
  • Imposing security measures for access to our computer systems
  • Providing a discreet environment for confidential discussions
  • Allowing access to personal and health information only where the individual seeking access to their own information has satisfied our identification requirements

We will never provide your information to third parties for marketing purposes without receiving your consent.

Personal and health information is retained for the period of time determined by applicable Australian laws after which
it is de-identified or disposed of in a secure manner.

Privacy on the Website

This policy also applies to any personal information Biocelect collects via our websites, and includes information
collected via websites of related companies. In addition to personal information provided to Biocelect directly (such as
where a customer makes a request or completes a registration form), Biocelect may also collect personal information
from you via its websites.
Links To Other Sites
We may provide links to websites outside of our websites, as well as to third party websites. These linked sites are not
under our control, and we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct of companies linked to our website. Before
disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to examine the terms and conditions of using
that website and its privacy statement.

require them to provide some form of identification (such as a driver’s licence or passport) so that Biocelect can verify
that they are the person to whom the information relates.

How Do We Keep Personal Information Accurate And Up-to- date?

We take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect is accurate, complete and up- to-date,
and when we use or disclose it, that it is relevant. We will also take reasonable steps to correct the personal information
we hold if we are satisfied that it is inaccurate, incomplete and out of date, irrelevant or misleading, or if an individual
asks us to correct their personal information for these reasons. A request to correct personal information can be made
at any time by contacting us on the details below.
