How we collect personal information

Why we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information

Our disclosures of personal information to third parties

Personal information: We will only disclose personal information (excluding sensitive information) to third parties where it is necessary as part of our services, where we have your consent, or where permitted by law. This means that we may disclose personal information (excluding sensitive information) to:

Overseas disclosure

We may disclose personal information to overseas recipients in countries including the United States. When we disclose personal information to overseas recipients, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipients do not breach the Australian Privacy Principles.

Your rights and controlling your personal information

We will collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You do not have to provide personal information to us, however, if you do not, it may affect our ability to do business with you.

If we receive personal information about you from a third party, we will protect it as set out in this Privacy Policy. As a healthcare provider providing personal or health information about a patient, you represent and warrant that you have the patients consent to provide the personal information to us.

You may request access to the personal information that we hold about you.

If you believe that any information we hold about you is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, please contact us. We will take reasonable steps to correct any information found to be inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.

Website Forms

If you submit a form on our Website, or contact us by e-mail, we will collect the information provided by you like your name, e-mail, phone number, clinic/organisation you work for, and any other information you may include in your message. This information will be used by us to communicate with you to provide you with the information you requested.

MedTalk Application

The Application is available for use by healthcare practitioners through a subscription. Information including the healthcare practitioner's name, electronic medical record platform, billing information, and contact details will be collected in MedTalk to administer the account.

The Application only collects the personal information which is entered into it by the healthcare practitioners or which is recorded by the Application when it is being used by the healthcare practitioner.

Besides what is provided to it directly by the healthcare practitioner, the Application does not access a healthcare practitioners' electronic medical record or collect any information from a patient's record without data input from the healthcare practitioner.

Audio Files

A feature of MedTalk is to create a summary of what was discussed during an appointment. Any discussions between a patient and healthcare practitioner could be collected by MedTalk ("MedTalk Ambient Scribe"), including personal health information.

The recording ("Audio File") by MedTalk Ambient Scribe is stored by MedTalk.

MedTalk uses AI Technology to analyse the Audio File to create a transcript of the discussions. Without the ability to collect, record and transcribe the transcript, MedTalk would not work as intended.

As set out in MedTalk Terms of Use agreed to by the healthcare provider, MedTalk reserves the right to use the Audio Recording and transcript in the future, for the sole purpose of improving MedTalk's performance, and for the development of new features and other product-related purposes.

MedTalk does not share this data with third parties.

MedTalk stores the Audio File for 48 hours.

Transcripts and other documents generated by MedTalk Ambient Scribe are stored on MedTalk until deleted by the healthcare provider, or as otherwise authorised under this Privacy Policy.

Anonymised files may be kept indefinitely to be used for product and service improvements such as enhancing the accuracy of MedTalk voice-to-text engine.

The healthcare provider using the Application are required to comply with their respective States statutory and regulatory requirements for the storage of personal and health information.

Artificial Intelligence

MedTalk uses in-house and third-party artificial intelligence service providers (the "AI Service Providers") to help support the functions of the MedTalk Application as per the Terms of Use. Our contracts with our AI Service Providers ensure that they do not collect, use or disclose any information provided to them, except to provide the services we specifically request. We may de-identify Patient Information to use the de-identify data for further product improvements, in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Direct Marketing

If you request to receive direct marketing from MedTalk, we will collect your name and e-mail and any other information you may provide to provide our direct marketing material. We will only share direct marketing communications of the types that you have consented to. We will not share the information you provide with third-parties, unless in accordance with this Privacy Policy, or as a matter of law.

Amendments

We may, at any time and at our discretion, vary this Privacy Policy by publishing the amended Privacy Policy on our website. We recommend you check our website regularly to ensure you are aware of our current Privacy Policy.
