They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
9. Data retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
We will retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any contractual, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our Data Retention Policy https://www.physitrack.com/data-retention-policy Once the appropriate retention period has expired we will erase your data securely.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see section ‘Your legal rights’ of this Policy for further information.

11. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
- Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
- Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
- You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact by email: dpo@physitrack.com.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you and to follow certain procedures to help us verify the request, confirm your identity, and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). The verification steps we take may differ depending on your country of residence and the request. We will match the information that you provide in your request to information we already have on file to verify your identity. If we are able to verify your request, we will process it in accordance with applicable law. If we cannot verify your request, we may ask you for additional information to help us verify your request. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We will respond to your request within the time period required by applicable law. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
12. Considerations in the United States
Identifiable Patient information in the United States is treated as Protected Health Information (as defined at 45 C.F.R. § 160.103) (“PHI”) regulated by the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”). PHI is handled by us in accordance our HIPAA business associate agreements (“BAAs”) with the relevant Health Practitioners.

In the United States, we also may disclose PHI in accordance with HIPAA and the applicable BAAs or as directed by you. You are solely responsible for any disclosure of your personal data that you initiate using the Services.
13. Considerations in Australia
If the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) applies to the handling of your personal data, this clause will apply.
In this Privacy Policy, any references to “Special Categories of Personal Data” are taken to be references to “sensitive information” as set out in the Privacy Act. We will collect, use or disclose sensitive information about you only as permitted by law, for example where we have received your consent to do so or the collection is required or authorised by law.
For the purposes of clause 7 (International Transfers) of this Privacy Policy, we may transfer your personal data to overseas recipients (i.e. outside Australia) as set out under the list of Physitrack's Third Party Vendors (sub-processors) which can be found here https://support.physitrack.com/article/721-what-types-of-data-are-stored-by-physitrack.
14. Considerations in New Zealand
If the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 (NZ Privacy Act) applies to the handling of your personal data, this section will apply.
We will also comply with the New Zealand Health Information Privacy Code 2020 (HIP Code) when collecting your health information.
We will collect personal data directly from you unless (i) you have authorised the collection of personal data from a third party, (ii) it would not prejudice you for collection to occur through a third party, (iii) collection from you would prejudice the purpose of collection, or (iv) it is not reasonably practicable to collect from you and the information will not be used in a form whereby you are identifiable.
For the purposes of section 7 (International Transfers) of this Privacy Policy, we may transfer your personal data to overseas recipients (i.e. outside New Zealand) located in the countries as set out under the list of Physitrack's Third Party Vendors (sub-processors) which can be found here
