Privacy Policy

Protecting your privacy is important to us. We hope the following statement will help you understand how the Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology website collects, uses, and safeguards the personal information you provide on our web site.

Information collection
When you browse the Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology website, you do so anonymously. We don't collect personal information - including your e-mail address. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which parts of our web site you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable. The only other information automatically provided to us is the type of computer and operating system you are using. Your browser supplies us with this information.

At times we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, such as your e-mail address and postal address, for purposes such as corresponding with us, making a donation, or participating in an online survey. Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology does not disclose the name and address or any other personal information of any donor or subscriber to any other organisation or body, nor does it share its database. While we do seek to recognise our donor's support at times in Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology's publications, we will always first ask the donor for their permission to do so. Details are strictly confidential and used only for the purposes set out above. If you would like access to the personal information we hold about you, or to have your name removed from our database, please contact us on +61 8 9346 3838.

Like many other web sites, the Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology web site may use a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how you use the site.

By using this site, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our site. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, add, or remove portions of this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology site following the posting of changes to these terms means you accept the changes.
