PRIVACY & PAYMENT POLICY
​Hi, I’m Dylan - the therapist behind Flexion & Flow. Your privacy, safety, and trust are my top priorities. In this policy, I’ll explain what information I collect, how I use it, how long I keep it, and how it’s protected, all in line with Victorian and Australian legal requirements.
​
I comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and the Victorian Health Records Act 2001 (Vic) - ensuring your personal and health data is managed legally and ethically.
​
1. WHAT I COLLECT & WHY

Personal and booking details - via Wix (full name, contact details, appointment info)

Payment information - processed securely via Stripe (I don’t see or store your credit card details)

3. CREDIT CARD & PAYMENT POLICY
-
Payments are processed through Stripe, which uses advanced encryption to securely handle your data.
-
I never see or store your full credit card details (Stripe is PCI-DSS compliant).
-
Refunds and disputes are managed directly through Stripe’s systems, but please reach out to me first so we can resolve any issues if they were to arise.
-
During online payments, you may be directed to a Stripe-hosted checkout with links to my terms, privacy policy, and support contact.
​
4. RETENTION OF MEDICAL & CONSENT RECORDS
To remain compliant with law and insurance requirements:
-
I keep adult client records for a minimum of 7 years from the date of the last entry.
-
For clients who were under 18, I retain their records until they turn 25 years old.
-
If there is a medico-legal claim or complaint, I will retain relevant records indefinitely, or at least until 7 years after the client’s death.
-
When it's time to dispose of records, I follow strict procedures to securely destroy or de-identify them, and I keep a detailed log of the destruction process (including client name, record period, and deletion date).
