Privacy Policy
This privacy policy sets out how InstantScripts Pty Ltd (ACN 629 120 234) (“we”) treat the privacy of customers and others with whom we interact, including patients, suppliers, pharmacy staff, cosmetic nurses and managers of cosmetic clinics.
In this privacy policy, the term “personal information” has the meaning in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and under that legislation includes information about an identifiable individual, including names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, credit and banking details, details of professional memberships and if and where applicable, includes information that constitutes “sensitive information” such as health information.
We operate a business providing (among other things) a secure platform generating pharmaceutical prescriptions for users following their completion of a short digital medical consultation. These services are provided to the customer either via a mobile application or at a terminal located within a pharmacy, cosmetic clinic or other health facility.
We collect personal information about individuals. Our usual approach is to collect personal information directly from the individual concerned.
The types of personal information we collect or may collect includes names, dates of birth, email addresses, signatures, mailing addresses, residential addresses, Medicare numbers, health fund details; credit card details, payment and transactional information and some health information such as details of medications already prescribed and/or taken or to be taken by the individual, as well as medical history, together with any information we are required to collect by law. These may be collected in relation to customers wishing to obtain scripts, pharmacy staff, clinical staff including management and nursing staff and medical professionals including prescribing doctors.
For example, we collect personal information in circumstances including:
We may use ‘cookies’ to collect data (typically not personal information) relating to your general internet usage.

We take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information, including internal and external security, restricting access to personal information to those who have a need to know, maintain technological products to prevent unauthorised computer access and regularly reviewing our technology to maintain security.

If you do not wish to continue to receive electronic marketing communications from us and/or selected third parties you should opt-out by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in any email communications that we might send you. If you request us not to send other electronic communications, we will also comply with that request to the extent reasonably practical.
We may disclose your personal information to any of our related group companies. They will only use it for the same purposes that we may under this policy.

We do not disclose personal information to business located outside Australia.
You have a right to access the personal information we hold about you and to raise concerns or complaints or ask for corrections. To raise privacy concerns, including to obtain a copy of the personal information we hold about you, please write to us at:
