We take reasonable steps to protect personal information we hold from misuse, interference and loss and from unauthorized access, modification and disclosure.

We use and disclose the information you provide about yourself for the purposes of conducting and managing the Nutricia Programme(s) in which you participate.

to provide you with products and services;
to assess and manage complaints, and for general customer care purposes;
for internal business, accounting, IT and administration purposes;

You have the right at any time to contact us to update your information or to opt out of the Nutricia at Home Service or any other Nutricia Product or Patient Support Programmes. You also have the right to deny your healthcare professional and/or hospital/health facility access to your information via the related the Nutricia Patient Management Database.

Sharing and disclosure of your personal information

Via the Nutricia Patient Management Database, your healthcare professional and/or hospital/health facility will be able to access your information held by Nutricia for the purposes of assisting with the management of your condition and nutritional care. We limit access to the personal information we hold about you in the Nutricia Patient Management Database to your specified healthcare professional, associated hospital and relevant Nutricia personnel, except where we are legally required or authorized to allow another person to access it.

We may also disclose your personal or health related information to your healthcare professional(s) and/or hospital/health facility overarching Health Care Organisation (for example the relevant State Health Authority), where it is necessary to continue with the management of your health requirements and nutritional care.

We will rely on the details of your healthcare professional and hospital/health facility being up to date and share information with that healthcare professional or hospital/health facility on that basis. If you change healthcare professional or hospital/health facility and no longer consent for your information to be shared with the recorded healthcare professional or hospital/health facility, please advise us in writing so we can update our records.

Personal information that you submit to us may also be disclosed to organisations such as agents, contractors or service providers that perform specific services or functions on our behalf (e.g. third-party warehousing and distributor partners who are responsible for courier deliveries). We limit this disclosure to the information that they need to perform the required service or function. They are only permitted to use the personal information for this specific service or function and they cannot legally disclose or use this information for any other purpose.

We will never sell your personal information to any other company. In the event of a criminal investigation or a suspected illegal activity, we may be required by law enforcement agencies to share certain personal or health related information. We may also disclose your personal information to our professional and legal advisers and our insurers as reasonably necessary for the Nutricia Programmes and to protect our interests.

Some of the persons with whom we share your personal information may be based outside Australia, including in New Zealand, Singapore, France, Ireland, United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
