Privacy Policy
​
Hi there! We want to let you know how we collect information so that you can feel comfortable sharing it with us. That's why we have this privacy policy which outlines the way we at SEPEMA (ABN 19625212094) collect, hold, use, and disclose personal information.
 

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT & HOW AND WHY WE COLLECT IT?
What personal information do we collect?
The personal information we collect is generally limited to:

• name and contact details;

• date of birth; and

• any communications we have.

However, we may also collect:

• sensitive information from you with your consent, such as where we ask for information about your health;

• information about how you use our website, via third parties.

How do we collect your personal information?
The main way we collect information is when you give it to us. You might do this by filling out forms on our website like sign-up or intake forms. Or you might give us information through phone calls, emails, or social media. On occasion we may also collect information from the person that referred you, or other people or organisations.
We love hearing from you, and we promise to keep your information safe and secure.
We also use cookies on our website. These are little bits of data that help our website work better. They might identify you and keep track of the pages you visit. This helps us improve our website and make it more secure. Plus, it makes it easier for you to use our website! You wont have to fill in your information again and again.
At times personal information may also be gathered from third parties, such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons and similar technology to collect or receive information about your habits on the internet.

Why do we collect your personal information?
We need your personal information to:

• communicate with you in relation to your enquiry;

• verify your identity for security purposes;

• send you news if you have signed up (you can unsubscribe at any time);

• conduct our business, and enable your use of our website, products and services; and

• in some cases, to comply with our legal obligations, such as record keeping.

We also collect personal information to analyse and enhance our business operations and improve your experience with our business. This is used as statistical information to analyse our website traffic and to customise the content and advertising we provide.

You can opt-out of the collection and use of this information by changing your privacy settings or opting out.
To opt-out of Google advertising you can go here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Where we collect your financial information, we use it to help you pay for our products and services. Only the staff that need to know this information have access to it, and we only keep it as long as it is necessary. We use SSL certificates to verify your identity and encrypt any data you give us. All financial information is encrypted on our servers, and we do not keep all your data (to prevent unauthorised and duplicated transactions). We do not keep any details of your direct debit, and all information is sent to our bank for processing.
 

WHEN DO WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION & HOW YOU CAN ACCESS IT?
When do we disclose your personal information?
We use reasonable precautions to make sure your information stays safe and secure.  Only authorised personnel can access it, and we keep it in accordance with our legal record keeping obligations. When we don't need it anymore, or it is unsolicited, we destroy it appropriately. We generally will not disclose your personal information unless we have your consent, it's required by law*, or it's necessary for us to provide you with our services.
* This can include where we are of the reasonable belief that there is a serious risk to life, health or safety of you or another person. For example, if there is evidence of clear danger of harm to self and/or others, we may be legally required to report this information to the authorities responsible for ensuring safety. This includes if there is a strong suspicion of physical or sexual abuse or emotional, or neglect or exposure to family violence of any person under 18 years of age. A court order could also require us to release information contained in records.
Sometimes we do disclose your personal information where it is necessary to obtain third-party services, like analytics, data storage, payment providers or advertising services. Some of these third-parties may be overseas. We do our best to make sure the providers we use comply with privacy laws and regulations.  You can opt-out of the collection and use of this information by changing your privacy settings or opting out.

How can you access or delete your information?
