6 3.6 The personal information collected by the Health Fund about an individual will not be used or disclosed except for a purpose the individual would reasonably expect, a purpose required or authorised by law, a purpose otherwise disclosed to or authorised by the individual, or a purpose set out in this policy, including the following: (a) to provide Members with the products or services they have requested; or (b) to assess an application by individuals for products or services provided by the Health Fund and where that application is approved, to provide those products or services to Members; (c) to assess health insurance benefits payable on Members claims; (d) to pay Members claims to their nominated financial institution; (e) to communicate with Members in relation to the products and services provided to them; (f) to respond to Member queries; (g) to undertake administration activities including accounting and information technology functions; (h) to conduct Member surveys; (i) to resolve Member complaints; (j) to facilitate auditing of the Health Fund s activities; or (k) to comply with any direction provided under a law or regulation authorising the disclosure of personal information, including statutory notices issued by enforcement and other government bodies. 3.7 If the Member fails to give the Health Fund the personal information requested, the Health Fund may be unable to provide the product or service or undertake the activity requested by the individual. 3.8 The Health Fund may also collect some information about individuals when they use the Health Fund s website ( the website ). 3.9 When individuals visit the website, the Health Fund s server may attach a small data file, called a cookie, to the hard drive for the Health Fund s record keeping purposes.

7 4. Consenting to the Use and Disclosure 4.1 Unless otherwise required or authorised by law, the Health Fund will only collect, use or disclose an individual s personal information with the consent of the individual.

Collecting Personal Information from a Third Party 5.1 Where possible, the Health Fund will collect personal information about an individual only from that individual. However, the Health Fund may be required to collect personal information about an individual from a third party.

Accessing Personal Information 8.1 The Health Fund will provide individuals with access to their personal information it holds on request, except to the extent that: (a) providing access would pose a serious and imminent threat to the life or health of any individual; (b) providing access would have an unreasonable effect upon the privacy of other individuals; (c) the request for access is frivolous or vexatious; (d) the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between the Health Fund and the individual and the information would not be accessible by the process of discovery in those proceedings; (e) providing access would reveal the intentions of the Health Fund in relation to negotiations with an individual in such a way as to prejudice those negotiations; (f) providing access would be unlawful; (g) denying access is required or authorised by or under law; (h) providing access would be likely to prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity; 9

10 (i) providing access would be likely to prejudice: (i) (ii) the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of criminal offences, breaches of a law imposing a penalty or sanction or breaches of a prescribed law; the enforcement of laws relating to the confiscation of the proceeds of crime; (iii) the protection of the public revenue; (iv) the prevention, detection, investigation or remedying of seriously improper conduct or prescribed conduct, (v) the preparation for, or conduct of, proceedings before any court or tribunal, or implementation of its orders; by or on behalf of an enforcement body; (j) an enforcement body performing a lawful security function asks the Health Fund not to provide access to the information on the basis that providing access would be likely to cause damage to the security of Australia. 8.2 The Health Fund will handle requests for access to personal information in accordance with the NPPs. 8.3 Requests by Members to access their communications records or Member Benefit Statements are handled by the Privacy Access Officer (refer to Section 10 for contact details).

However, the Health Fund may charge Members for providing access. Any charges will be determined in accordance with the reasonable costs incurred by the Health Fund in providing the information requested. Full disclosure of such costs will be provided to the Member prior to the provision of the information. 9. Correcting Personal Information 9.1 The Health Fund takes reasonable steps to confirm the accuracy, completeness and currency of individuals personal information which it holds at the time this information is collected, used or disclosed.
