Brain Tumours Online
At Brain Tumours Online, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle information collected through our website.
The Brain Tumours Online website does not collect any personal information from users when they access or use the website. We do not require you to provide your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information to access or use our website.
Like many website operators, we do collect non-personal information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how visitors use our website and to monitor and improve the performance of our site. This type of information is not individually-identifiable personal information.
Our website may use cookies to enhance some website functionality. Cookies work by placing information on your computer. This information relates to the website that you visit. In effect, the cookie helps the website “remember” you when you return to the site. Most internet browsers let you control if you will accept cookies from a website. You may choose not to accept cookies from our website. In such cases you can still access our website, however some website functions may not work the same.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to collect and analyse non-personal information about how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to track visitor interactions, such as the pages visited and the time spent on each page. The information collected by Google Analytics is used to generate reports about website traffic and usage patterns.
The Brain Tumours Online website contains links to third-party websites and services (for example Mighty Networks, Humanitix, Mailchimp, Zoom, RedCap) to provide access to a wider range of resources, however these are not owned or controlled by Brain Tumours Online or the organisations involved in the development of Brain Tumours Online. These third parties may collect personal information from you when you interact with their websites or services. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.
Third-party websites and services collect, store and manage data in ways that are outside of the control of the Brain Tumours Online team, so if you choose to use these third-party websites and services you will need to accept the Terms and Conditions and any privacy policy associated with using the third-party website or service before you use them. Many of these third-parties are based overseas, therefore privacy of data may not be maintained to the same standards as required in Australia. We supply links on the Brain Tumours Online website to third-party sites and services to provide access to a wider range of resources and for your convenience only. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties before providing any personal information to them.
Some users who visit Brain Tumours Online may wish to submit a personal story to be published on our website. Others may share their personal stories as guest panellists in webinars and in video recordings that are published on our website. When personal stories, images, videos or other personal information is published on our website in these ways, it is done with consent from the person involved. More information about the story submission process and how this data is managed can be found in the Story Submission form and on the ‘Stories FAQ’ page of our website.
The website and its content is on Australian-based Amazon Web Servers. We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through our website from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
