Personal information can include your name, contact details such as your residential or postal address, email address, date of birth or your telephone number and information about your health and any medical conditions. Information which cannot be reasonably linked to your identity (e.g. IP address, browser information, favourite websites or the number of users of a website) does not constitute personal information and is not regulated by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Valentius collects and stores personal information about its customers, medical and allied healthcare professionals and members of the public.

If you wish to register for our personalised services, we will ask you for your name and other personal details. You are entirely free to decide whether or not to supply this information. However, if you choose not to provide your personal information to us, this may affect our ability to provide personalised products and services to you. The personal information collected may vary depending on your particular interaction with Valentius but will be limited to the information necessary to record and manage our interaction with you or as permitted or required by law. By providing personal information and/or continuing to engage with Valentius, you consent to your personal information being collected, used and disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
