Shine to Success Collective Pty Ltd ABN 54 684 627 058 trading as Krew60 ("Krew60", "we", "us", "our") builds and runs The Front Office Foundation for health practices in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. For health practices, the Service covers five front-office roles: Front Desk, New Patient Intake, Schedule & Recall, Reviews Manager, and Marketer ("the Service").
This statement explains how we handle patient information when the Service works for a health practice. It adds to our Privacy Policy and should be read with our Terms & Conditions, Service Agreement, and Payment Terms. Where this statement and the privacy agreement we sign with a practice (section 7) differ, the signed agreement applies.
The practice decides why and how patient information is collected and used. The practice owns its patient information. We handle it only on the practice's behalf and on its instructions.
| Country | The practice is | Krew60 is |
|---|---|---|
| Australia | The organisation responsible for the health information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and any state health records law that applies to it | Its contracted service provider, bound by the APPs and our agreement with the practice |
| United States | A covered entity under HIPAA | Its business associate under HIPAA |
| United Kingdom | The controller under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 | Its processor under Article 28 of the UK GDPR |
The practice remains responsible for its own privacy notice to patients, its lawful basis for using their information, and the professional and advertising rules that apply to it. We help the practice set the Service up to fit them.
The Service handles only what it needs to answer, book, and follow up for the practice. Depending on the roles the practice uses, this can include:
The Service does not need clinical records, test results, or treatment notes to do its work, and we set it up not to ask for them. If a patient volunteers clinical details on a call or in a message, they are kept with that call or message, protected in the same way, and passed to the practice's team.
Where the Service connects to the practice's management or booking software, it reads and writes only what it needs to book, change, or confirm appointments. We confirm how it connects with the practice at onboarding.
We use patient information only to provide the Service to the practice: answering calls and messages, booking and managing appointments, sending reminders and recalls, following up new patient inquiries, requesting reviews, and supporting and fixing the Service.
We will never:
The Service runs on established technology providers: the platform that holds the practice's records and messages, telephony and messaging providers, and the AI providers that power voice, transcription, and replies. They process patient information only to run the Service for the practice, under written contracts that give it the same protection as our agreement with the practice. For United States practices, this includes a business associate agreement with each provider that handles protected health information.
A practice can ask for the current list of providers that handle its patient information at any time, and we will tell the practice before we add or change one.
Before any patient information is handled, the practice and Krew60 sign a privacy agreement for the practice's country:
We send the agreement to the practice to read before it signs, and a copy is available at any time on request. The agreement sets out what we may do with patient information, the security we keep, how we tell the practice about a breach, the providers we use, and what happens to the data when the engagement ends.
Some of our technology providers store and process data in the United States and other countries where they operate. Before patient information is disclosed outside the practice's country, we take steps to make sure it is protected in a way that meets the practice's local law: for Australian practices, as required by APP 8.1; for United Kingdom practices, through the International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the Standard Contractual Clauses, or an adequacy decision.
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect patient information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, change, or disclosure. These include:
If we become aware of a breach that affects a practice's patient information, we will tell the practice without delay, and within 72 hours. We will tell the practice what happened, what information was involved, and what we are doing about it, and help it meet its own obligations, including:
We keep patient information for as long as the practice uses the Service, or less if the practice asks us to. When an engagement ends, the practice has 7 days from the end date to export its data, either itself or by asking us, as set out in the Service Agreement. After that 7-day window, patient information is deleted or de-identified, unless the law requires us to keep it. Anything we must keep stays protected under this statement until it is deleted.
Patients who want to access, correct, or delete their information should contact the practice. If a patient contacts us, we will pass the request to the practice, and we will help the practice respond within 5 business days of it asking, so it can meet the time limits that apply to it.
If a patient is not satisfied with how a complaint is handled, they can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.oaic.gov.au, the US Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights at hhs.gov/ocr, or the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
We may update this statement when our Service, providers, or legal obligations change. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If a change affects how patient information is handled, we will tell practices before it takes effect.
