Corvita Services NSW Pty Ltd (“Corvita”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information through our website, enquiries, recruitment activities and other interactions with Corvita.

Where applicable, we handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

1. What personal information we may collect

The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with Corvita.

• employment or recruitment information, including your qualifications, experience and CV;
• correspondence and communications with us; and
• technical website information such as IP address, browser type, device information and website usage data.

We generally do not ask you to provide patient medical information through our website contact forms.

If you choose to provide sensitive or health information, we will handle that information with additional care and only where reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was provided.

• enquire about working with Corvita;
• apply for a position;
• enquire about selling or transitioning a medical practice;
• meet or communicate with our team; or
• otherwise provide information to us voluntarily.

We may also receive information from professional advisers, business partners, recruitment providers or other third parties where appropriate and permitted by law.

3. Why we collect and use personal information

We may collect, hold and use personal information to:

• respond to enquiries;

We will not use personal information for purposes unrelated to the reason it was collected unless permitted by law or with your consent.

4. Website forms and enquiries

When you submit an enquiry through the Corvita website, we may collect information such as your name, email address, telephone number, practice name and the information you include in your message.

This information is used to review and respond to your enquiry.

Our website forms may use security and anti-spam tools, including automated bot-detection technologies, to protect the website and reduce fraudulent or automated submissions.

5. Recruitment and employment enquiries

If you apply for a role or express interest in working with Corvita or one of our associated practices, we may collect information including:

• other information relevant to the recruitment process.

We use this information to assess suitability for current or potential employment opportunities.

6. How we hold and protect personal information

Corvita takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Personal information may be stored electronically using secure systems and service providers.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including access controls, software updates, website security measures and spam protection.

No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Disclosure of personal information

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to:

• Corvita staff and authorised personnel;
• associated medical practices or entities involved in a relevant enquiry;
• professional advisers such as legal, accounting or business advisers;
• technology, website, hosting or communication service providers;
• recruitment or employment service providers; or
• government, regulatory or law enforcement authorities where required by law.

We do not sell personal information.

8. Overseas disclosure

Some technology or service providers used by Corvita may store or process information outside Australia.

Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is handled appropriately and in accordance with applicable privacy obligations.

The countries in which information may be processed can depend on the service providers used by Corvita from time to time.

9. Cookies and website analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• operate website functionality;
• understand how visitors use the website;
• improve website performance;
• maintain security; and

You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings.

10. Accessing or correcting your personal information

You may request access to personal information Corvita holds about you.

You may also ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

We may need to verify your identity before processing an access or correction request.
