How we use your information.
We use the information we collect for the purpose disclosed at the time of collection, or otherwise as set out in this Privacy Statement. We will not use your personal information for any other purpose without first seeking your consent, unless authorised or required by law.
Generally we will only use and disclose your personal information to:

St Ann’s Living does not sell your personal details to any organisation.
Also, should you receive any form of communication from us which you would not like to receive ever again, please contact us and we will remove your name from our mailing list.
Access, updating and correction of your personal information
If an individual requests access to their personal information, or requests that we change that personal information, in most cases, we will allow access or make the changes unless we consider that there is a sound reason under the Privacy Act, Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act) or other relevant law to withhold the information.
If you believe that personal information St Ann’s Living holds about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request amendment of it. We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment, then we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.
St Ann’s Living may not be able to provide access to information in some situations, including:
• where in St Ann’s Living’s opinion providing you access may create a serious threat to the life or health of any individual or may be an unreasonable intrusion into the privacy of another individual;
• where your request for access is in St Ann’s Living’s opinion frivolous or vexatious; or
• where providing access would be unlawful, may prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity, may prejudice enforcement of law, or denying access is specifically authorised by law.
If for any reason St Ann’s Living does not allow you to access your personal information, St Ann’s Living will provide you with reasons in writing for its decision.
In the normal course of business we will respond to your request within 10 business days and endeavour to provide the requested information within 20 business days.
To obtain access to your personal information, you will have to provide proof of identity to ensure that access to the personal information being requested, is provided only to the correct individuals and that the privacy of others is protected.
Please note that St Ann’s Living may charge you a reasonable administration fee to recover its costs for providing access based on the quantity of material and time involved in providing access.
