miyoga Privacy Policy

You are here: Home / miyoga Privacy Policy

Your privacy is really important to us and our current privacy policy is as follows:

What is Privacy?

miyoga is covered by the Privacy Act 1988 (‘the Privacy Act’) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). The APPs set out the way businesses such as miyoga can collect, use, disclose and provide access and correction to personal and sensitive information.

Personal information is any information that identifies or could identify a person, whether it is true or not.  It includes, for example, your name, age, gender and contact details. Personal information can also include sensitive information, which is information about your health and health services provided to you.

miyoga and what we do

miyoga provides personal fitness training, wellbeing programs and yoga instruction for people in Tasmania.

miyoga is run by Manu Iseppi and may occasionally engage volunteers and employees.

Collection of Information

miyoga collects your personal and sensitive information only if you have consented to the information being collected.

We may collect personal information about you, including the following which may not all be relevant to you depending on the service you access:

  • contact details – full name, address, email address and telephone number
  • personal details such as date of birth and gender
  • country of birth
  • details of your parent or carer
  • details of your medical practitioner
  • credit card details and method of payment

We may also collect sensitive information about you such as:

  • main language spoken at home
  • health and lifestyle information such height, weight, physical activity, nutrition and lifestyle choices
  • treatment information
  • any other information you may provide to us

We will only collect your health or other sensitive information, if we obtain your consent to such collection or we are permitted by law. Where practicable we will explain how your health or other sensitive information will be used or disclosed.

How we collect your personal information

We only collect your information by lawful and fair means. We collect your information in a few different ways, including:

  • forms you provide to us
  • electronically, such as through our website
  • phone calls
  • information you provide to us while attending classes and events
  • other correspondence, such as email and mail.

We will always collect personal information from you directly unless it is unreasonable or impractical for us to do so. When a person is under 15 years old, or lacks the mental capacity and legal competence to make decisions, the person’s primary carer or guardian must consent to the collection of the person’s information.

How we use your personal information

We only use your personal and sensitive information for purposes which are directly related to the reason you provided us with your information in the first place and where you would reasonably expect us to use your information. F

We use your information to provide you with information about our services. We also use it to improve our services and notify you of opportunities that we think you might be interested in, including:

  • informing you about upcoming events and activities;
  • providing follow-up information in response to comments or questions;
  • seeking your feedback about our services or programs to monitor and evaluate existing services and plan for future service delivery;

We will not use your personal information for another purpose unless you have given consent or one of the exceptions under the Privacy Act applies. For example, if the use of the information is authorised by Australian law or is necessary for law enforcement by an enforcement body, such as the Australian Federal Police.

Disclosure of your information

We will not disclose your personal information to any other person unless you have given your consent or one of the exceptions under the Privacy Act applies.

Security of your information

We take appropriate steps to protect your personal and sensitive information held by us from misuse, interference, unauthorised access, modification, loss or disclosure. This includes during storage, collection, processing, transfer and destruction of the information.

Information is stored in access-controlled premises or in secure electronic databases. Employees of miyoga, contracted third parties and other parties to whom we disclose your information sign a confidentiality agreement that requires them to comply with the Privacy Act and our Privacy Policy.

When we no longer need Personal Information for any purpose we will take reasonable steps to destroy the information or ensure that the information is de-identified.

Please note, the miyoga website may contain links to third party websites. We are not responsible for the collection and handling of your personal information by holders of third party websites. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of those third party websites.

How to access and seek correction of your personal information

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that all Personal Information that we collect, use or disclose is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant and not misleading.

We will correct any Personal Information that we believe to be incorrect, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.

You may request to access or correct your Personal Information at any time by contacting the Privacy Officer using the details below. We will give you access to the information unless one of the exceptions under the Privacy Act applies. For example, if providing access would be unlawful or denying access is authorised by law.

We are not responsible for any problems that may arise if you do not give us accurate, truthful or complete information or if you fail to update such information. We will reject and delete any entry that we believe in good faith to be false, fraudulent or inconsistent with these terms and conditions.

If you wish to amend any of your details or the information you have provided to us please contact us using the details below.

If you request to access or correct your information, we will respond within a reasonable time (usually within 30 days). If your request is refused, we will give you a written notice that sets out the reasons for refusal and how to complain about the decision.

Can I remain anonymous?

It is your choice to provide information to us. Wherever it is lawful and practicable, you have the option not to identify yourself or to use a fictional name when interacting with us. You can remain anonymous when using some parts of the miyoga website. However, it may be necessary for us to collect your personal or sensitive information if you would like to access certain materials or information. If you choose to withhold the information we require, we may not be able to provide the services you have requested.

Promotional Communications

From time to time, we may send you promotional communications (for example, about our services and events) that we believe you would reasonably expect us to send you. If you do not wish to receive these communications, please contact miyoga (using the details set out below) or unsubscribe using the method set out in the communication.

If we receive your personal information from a third party or we do not believe that you would reasonably expect us to send you promotion communications we will, where practicable, obtain your consent. If it is impracticable to obtain your consent, it is our policy that any promotional communications will include a statement advising that you may request not to receive further communications by contacting us using the details provided in the communication.

Spam Mail

It is our policy that all electronic communications will include an unsubscribe facility. The Spam Act 2003 prohibits sending unsolicited commercial emails, SMS and MMS messages for commercial purposes. Examples of unsolicited communications are ones that do not directly relate to a service you have previously signed up with or agreed to.
