Storing Personal Information
FitSense Australia stores personal information in different ways, including in paper and electronic form. The security of personal information is important to us and we take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse or loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Some of the ways we do this include:
- Requiring staff to maintain confidentiality

- Providing a discrete environment for confidential discussions and consultations
- Ensuring there is access control into our building
Keeping personal information accurate and up to date
We take all reasonable precautions to ensure that personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up to date. However, the accuracy of that information largely depends on the quality of the information provided to us. We suggest that individuals inform us if there are any errors in their personal information and keep us up to date with changes in their personal information.
Individuals who believe that we have breached their privacy rights in any way or wish to discuss any issues about our privacy policy should contact us at the FitSense Australia office.
