Sensitive information includes, for example, information or an opinion about your racial or ethnic origin, your sexual orientation, your religious beliefs or your membership of a professional association, trade association or trade union. Sensitive information also includes your health information.
2. How the company collects your personal information
The Company collects your Personal Information primarily as a result of your use of the Services, including (but not limited to) the information you provide when completing your initial health assessment (which may be conducted, for example in person or via Skype), your registration to participate in any associated program, during the coaching sessions, feedback provided by you or the posting of material in the social network forum, and any other correspondence between you and the Company. We may also collect your Personal Information from third parties, such as your health insurer, your health practitioner where you have provided consent to them to disclose your Personal Information to the Company. You do not have to provide your Personal Information to visit the Website; however, you do need to provide us with personal information to access and use various Services provided by Anayata wellbeing, such as to complete an initial health assessment, participate in the coaching sessions, subscribe to our newsletter or to participate in programs available. From time to time, the Company may receive information relating to you that we have not requested (“Unsolicited Information”). In the event that the Company does receive Unsolicited Information, we will check whether it’s reasonably necessary for us to keep it. If it is, the Company will treat the Unsolicited Information in the same way as other information that we request you to provide to us. If the Company determines that it is not reasonably necessary for us to keep it, we will, as soon as practicable, destroy or de-identify the relevant Unsolicited Information.
