Use and disclosure of information collected

Dr Wu’s practice collects personal information for a number of purposes (being the primary purposes of collection), including:

to treat patients and ensure the best level of care;
to support and assist with patient rehabilitation;
to monitor and investigate conduct;
to implement, monitor and maintain quality assurance processes and systems, as well as processes and systems.

Any information users provide will only be used for the primary purposes for which users have provided it or a secondary purpose if it directly relates to the primary purpose or for any other lawful purpose.

Dr Wu engages third parties or consultants to perform certain business functions.  Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to disclose personal site user information to those suppliers.  Disclosures may also be made to other third parties, including advisors and regulatory authorities. Where disclosure takes place, the Dr Wu seeks to ensure that personal information is handled appropriately.
