Information collected – Identified

My Speechie may collect identifiable information such as contact details. Accordingly, we collect personal information to facilitate the development of our services and to improve the site for patient experience.

No data is stored in an unencrypted form.

Access to information collected

My Speechie will not knowingly attempt to identify users or their browsing activities. However, in the unlikely event of an investigation, a law enforcement agency or other government agency may exercise its legal authority to inspect our Internet Service Provider’s logs, and thus gain information about users and their activities.

Use and disclosure of information collected

My Speechie’s practice collects personal information for several 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.
to enable internal administration, training, assessments, and reviews.
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.

My Speechie engages third parties or consultants to perform certain business functions.  Therefore, it may be 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, My Speechie seeks to ensure that personal information is handled appropriately.
