Program Privacy Collection Statement

Instructions on use

ANDHealth offers programs, services and events, including office hours and collaborations at the Victorian Connected Health Innovation and Commercialisation Centre or “CHICC” (each offering known as a "Program"), designed specifically to support entrepreneurs and innovators navigate the commercialisation journey in digital health.

ANDHealth is a non-profit, member-based body which has a vision of a vibrant and connected national ecosystem for the commercialisation of evidence-based digital health technologies. In order to achieve our vision, we run Programs, events and industry development initiatives all across Australia and in support of our vision, we ask all of our applicants to allow us to utilise their application data to help us grow the industry and identify areas of collaboration and commercialisation between all the companies in our network.

The below terms and conditions (i.e. 'the fine print’) outlines how we use your application data. However, we thought it might be useful for us to first set out our values and general principles in dealing with the data we collect.

1. Many of our Programs are supported by public funding agencies which require us to collect and disclose high level data about our attendees. These requirements are not optional for us and so all participants need to agree to this requirement.

2. All data is valuable so we do our very best to take care of it by using appropriately protected software platforms, and restricting who can access it.

3. We use the data we collect on companies for good, including providing otherwise unknown summaries on digital health activity across Australia (in anonymised and aggregated form), identifying potential collaborations between companies for mutual benefit and identifying companies we should reach out to when we have potential commercial opportunities with members and partners.

4. We respect the confidentiality of commercially sensitive data. We seek to assess and track companies on their clinical indication, technology type, location, size, capital raised, jobs created, commercial and clinical pilots and clinical publications. Our industry reports are anonymised, and our case studies only ever reference high level publicly available information (such as your company name, key contacts, company profile and location). If you are unsure about data that you enter in your application, please identify any information that should be held by us in confidence.

5. You can view our Privacy Policy, Privacy Collection Statement and these Terms & Conditions on our website.

Program data use terms and conditions

1. The Program you have applied for or to attend ("Program") is offered by ANDHealth Pty Ltd (ABN 32 617 835 542) of Level 2, 99 William Street Melbourne VIC 3000 AUSTRALIA ("ANDHealth"). In these terms and conditions, "you" means the individual who has submitted the request to attend ANDHealth's Program and, where you submitted that application as an employee or contractor of a body corporate or other entity, "you" will also include that body corporate or other entity that employs or engages the individual who submitted the request.

2. These terms and conditions solely relate to ANDHealth's use of the data and other information that you submitted as part of your application to attend ANDHealth's Program or which you otherwise provide to ANDHealth at or in connection with attending the Program ("Submitted Data"). Additional terms and conditions may apply if your application to attend ANDHealth's Program is accepted by ANDHealth (including a requirement to pay any fees to attend that Program, if applicable). Submitted Data that you would like ANDHealth to keep confidential must be marked as 'confidential' or 'commercial in confidence' (“Confidential Data”).

3. This agreement (as represented by these terms and conditions) between you and ANDHealth is entered into in consideration of the parties incurring obligations and giving rights under this agreement and for other valuable consideration.

Where you have included Confidential Data in your application, this Confidential Data will not be disclosed by ANDHealth, except as required to meet ANDHealth’s own legal obligations. To the extent permitted by law, if ANDHealth is legally required to disclose your Confidential Data, ANDHealth will try to ensure that the recipient(s) of that Confidential Data keep that data confidential. Public disclosure of Submitted Data will be in an aggregated or de-identified form, unless consent is first requested from you.

5. By submitting your application to attend the Program, you grant to ANDHealth a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide licence (with the right to grant sub-licenses through multiple tiers) to use, reproduce and disclose the Submitted Data, but excluding any Confidential Data, for the purposes described in clause 4.

6. By submitting your application to attend the Program, you represent and warrant to ANDHealth that: (a) you are authorised to provide the Submitted Data to ANDHealth and to grant the licence to the Submitted Data set out in clause 5; and (b) ANDHealth's use, reproduction and disclosure of that Submitted Data in accordance with that licence will not infringe the copyright or other intellectual property rights of any third party.

7. To the maximum extent permitted by law, including the Australian Consumer Law, in no event will ANDHealth be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss, damage or expense (irrespective of the manner in which it occurs) which may be suffered or incurred by you arising out of or in connection with the use, reproduction and disclosure of Submitted Data by ANDHealth or any other parties or by ANDHealth's acceptance or rejection of your application to attend the Program.

8. These terms and conditions are governed by the law of the State of Victoria, Australia and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts exercising jurisdiction in the State of Victoria, Australia.
