How we handle Sensitive information
Sensitive information is defined in the Privacy Act to include information or opinion about such things as an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or other professional body, criminal record or health information.
ASR Accessible Products does not typically request or collect Sensitive Information in order to provide you with products or services, however we may be provided with Sensitive Information (typically health related information), either by you or a Third Party, during the process of providing our products and services. Where we receive Sensitive Information, it will only be used for the benefit of providing products and services to you and will not be disclosed to any other party without your consent.
Need to provide us with another individual’s Personal Information?
ASR Accessible Products works with individuals, their carers and organisations in order to provide products and services. To achieve this, we collect personal information that you provide on another individual, organisation or entity’s behalf.
By providing ASR Accessible Products with another individual’s Personal Information, you confirm that:
- The individual gives consent that the Personal Information can be provided to ASR Accessible Products; and
- The supply of information is not in breach of our Terms and Conditions; and
- Provision of the information does not breach any applicable laws.
Personal Information we receive regarding another individual, organisation or entity is subject to this Privacy Policy.
Personal Information we receive from Third Parties
Third Parties are individuals, organisations or entities other than yourself or ASR Accessible Products.
ASR Accessible Products may be provided with your Personal Information from a Third Party including, but not limited to, your health care professional, your care provider or plan manager so we can assist with quoting, sourcing and ordering products. Where we deem necessary and reasonable to do so, we will inform you of any personal information we have collected.
Health care professionals, care providers and plan managers can contact us by online inquiry, email or on the phone. Correspondence with these groups is typically about products which may or may not be suitable to you and your circumstances as they understand.
You must give consent for your health care professional or provider to reach out to us on your behalf.

Your Personal Information may be disclosed in a number of circumstances including the following:

When your Personal Information is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was obtained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your Personal Information.
