Health Voyage Website Privacy Statement

Collection

It is our usual practice to collect information about all visitors to our online resources. That information is very limited and only used to identify generic visitor behavioural patterns.

Sometimes we use third party platforms to deliver information or online resources. These are sites hosted and managed by companies other than Health Voyage. Before deciding if you want to contribute to any third-party site read their privacy policy.

We use Google Analytics on our website to understand how the website is used and to improve our online services. Google Analytics may process or store analytics information outside Australia.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Our metric tools may collect the following information about your visit for statistical purposes:

  • server address
  • top level domain name (for example .com, .gov, .au, .uk etc.)
  • the date and time of your visit to the site
  • the pages you accessed, and documents downloaded during your visit
  • the previous site you visited
  • if you’ve visited our site before
  • the type of browser used.

We use this data to maintain our website and improve our services. Health Voyage does not seek to use website analytics information to identify individual visitors.

Cookies

Most of our online platforms use sessions and cookies. The core functionality on these platforms is largely unaffected if cookies are disabled in the user’s browser but the user may be unable to access some advanced functions.

We correct any personal information that we hold on request.

Third-party platforms have their own privacy and security practices. Health Voyage takes reasonable steps to select and manage third-party services consistently with its privacy and information-security obligations. In relation to our own servers, we take all reasonable steps to manage data stored on our servers to ensure data security.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction.

Health Voyage will not charge a fee in relation to making any requests available under the Health Voyage Privacy Policy and will not normally charge a fee for providing access to your personal information unless such access is complex or resource intensive. Health Voyage will also not charge a fee to correct information.

Health Voyage may refuse to give an individual access to, or refuse to correct, their information when a Privacy Act exception exists such as where,
