Privacy Policy
Internet privacy is an issue that we take very seriously. StudyChoiceAustralia is committed to protecting your privacy. We believe it’s important for you to know what information is being collected about you, how that information is being used, with whom it’s being shared, and how to contact us if you have additional questions or concerns.
What Information does StudyChoiceAustralia, and how Is It used?
Information gathered online can generally be categorised as either anonymous or personally identifiable. Anonymous information is information that can’t be traced back to a specific individual. For example, StudyChoiceAustralia knows what searches are made every day at each of its websites, but does not know the names, email addresses, or phone numbers of the people searching.
Personally identifiable information is information that allows us to identify you. This information can include your name, address, phone number, email address, etc. It’s our belief that you’ll find it beneficial at times to provide us with certain personal information so that your experience with StudyChoiceAustralia is more personally relevant to you and/or delivered directly to you (e.g., a newsletter). StudyChoiceAustralia does not sell user data.
Who Collects Anonymous Information on Healthline.com?
Currently, StudyChoiceAustralia, Google (via its Google Analytics service).
Information collected includes the visitor's ISP domain name, referral data and browser and platform type. In addition, StudyChoiceAustralia and other partners collect anonymous information on search queries and pages viewed, which generally is associated with a browser's cookie (see below for more on cookies).
For more information on Google Analytics privacy practices, see: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.
In addition, we may merge information about you with the data of a larger group of users, which then may be shared on an aggregated basis with our partners. However, StudyChoiceAustralia will not disclose your individual identity or personal data without your permission. When StudyChoiceAustralia does present aggregated information to outside companies, no one will be able to identify or contact you.
In the case of certain services, such as Facebook and Twitter, you will be asked if you wish to share information between StudyChoiceAustralia and the service.
If you wish to opt out of the use of anonymous data or the ability of third-parties to connect your anonymous data on a StudyChoiceAustralia site with your personal identity, you can opt out by disabling cookies — although this may negatively affect your online experience, as most sites require cookies for very basic browsing.
California and Canadian users: California and Canadian law requires that we notify you about our practices related to disclosing or sharing information with third parties, which we do in this privacy policy. Our practices and opt-out mechanisms are not limited to Californian and Canadian users, but apply to all users.
Use Of Cookies
Cookies are a standard Internet technology that allows a web server to both store and retrieve information on a user's system. StudyChoiceAustralia and the partners listed above use browser cookies to anonymously associate collected information with a specific computer browser.
If you have provided personally identifiable information to a third party, that third party may be able to associate anonymous information collected on StudyChoiceAustralia and stored via the third party’s cookie with your identity. However, utilizing this information to target specific individuals is considered against self-regulatory practices per the Network Advertising Initiative.
StudyChoiceAustralia and partner web servers automatically ask new users whether their browsers will agree to accept cookie files. If a visitor accepts, the web server will be able to identify the user's cookie and associate collected information with that cookie, either on the user's computer or on a server.
If a user accepts a StudyChoiceAustralia or partner cookie, but would later like to remove it from their computer, they can remove it from the browser. Use of cookies allows StudyChoiceAustralia and its partners to monitor traffic flow and patterns of travel within and through the sites, and dynamically personalises content.
Our sponsors and advertisers have agreed that they will not collect any personally identifiable information from our site visitors while they’re on StudyChoiceAustralia.
Gathering and Using Personally Identifiable Information
We collect personally identifiable information that you provide to us when you sign up for a newsletter or other service, when you register as a member of StudyChoiceAustralia and/or update your member profile, and when you allow certain third-party services such as Facebook to share information with StudyChoiceAustralia. We use the personally identifiable information that you supply to: 1) provide you with the specific services you select; 2) conduct market research where your personal information may be anonymised and matched with similarly anonymised third-party data to enable aggregate analysis; 3) send you emails about website updates, which may include new features and enhanced functionality.
Personally identifiable information is only shared with third parties bound by strict confidentiality and security requirements and under contract to StudyChoiceAustralia, or in anonymised fashion as described above, or when StudyChoiceAustralia has your permission to do so. StudyChoiceAustralia occasionally sponsors sweepstakes, contests, or other events that require the collection, processing, and storage of individual contact and demographic information that may or may not be shared with participating sponsors. As part of such a sponsored program, the registrant's personal contact and demographic information will not be released to third party or nonparticipating organisations without the user’s consent, and StudyChoiceAustralia will request that co-sponsors of such events maintain the privacy of the registrant’s information.
When appropriate, users will be given the opportunity to receive information from third-party organisations in connection with services or events offered by StudyChoiceAustralia. This option may be made available through StudyChoiceAustralia's registration and/or through registration processes maintained by a participating third party. In all cases, you will be informed before you register for the event of service that a third party will be receiving the registration information you provide, and you will have the option not to participate in any service or event that requires third-party involvement.
As a general rule, StudyChoiceAustralia does not make a practice of de-identifying personal information on any kind of regular schedule.
Who Does StudyChoiceAustralia Share the Information It Collects With?
StudyChoiceAustralia does work with third parties to "append" information to the personal information StudyChoiceAustralia collects (e.g., to append age or gender based on a user’s email address). StudyChoiceAustralia stores the information it collects on its servers and employs industry-recognised security measures to protect it.
Other than when shared under contract and with confidentiality and security provisions or for research purposes (e.g., when your information is anonymised), StudyChoiceAustralia does not provide third-party access to your personal information, except in the aggregate — and only after the information has been de-identified. StudyChoiceAustralia will not disclose the contact or demographic information of any individual user to advertisers or any other outside organisation without the express permission of the individual.
Email Choice/Opt-Out
Each email newsletter and special offer sent by StudyChoiceAustralia contains an easy, automated way for you to cease receiving our email newsletters. One click of the mouse is all that is required: The system automatically excludes you from future mailings without needing additional human intervention.
If you have additional questions, please contact us at info@studychoiceaustralia.com Please note that while we’re happy to answer general questions, in order to protect the privacy of our users, we do not answer specific questions about the information collected about specific users (including users who may request access to the information collected on themselves).
