What is 'personal information'?
'Personal information' means information or an opinion about an individual whose identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained from the information.

Collection of personal information by Cardio Design Pty Ltd
The type of personal information that Cardio Design collects about you depends on how you use the Cardio Design web site.
