Do we use Cookies?
Yes. The Psychological Health Centre Dee Why uses cookies to analyse traffic to this website to help us provide a better website user experience. A cookie is a small file placed in your web browser by a web server that collects information about your web browsing behaviour. The message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies do not access information stored on your computer or any personal information (e.g. name, address, email address or telephone number). Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Since each browser is a little different, look at your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
If you turn cookies off, some of the features that make your website experience more efficient may not function properly.
Online Security
At the Psychological Health Centre Dee Why we implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information, and we periodically update these in light of current technologies to maintain the safety of your personal information. These security measures include restricting physical access to our offices and firewalls, and storing your information on secure databases. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of people who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. So while we strive to protect such information, we cannot warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.

If you make an access request, the Psychological Health Centre Dee Why will ask you to verify your identity and specify what information you require. You may be required to put your request in writing for security reasons.
