1. What information about me is collected?
We collect both personal and non-personal information about you. “Personal information” is information which can identify you and includes information you provide when you register on the Site such as your name and contact details. We also collect “sensitive information”, including any health information you provide to the App.
You may choose not to provide personal information, but this may mean that some of the features of the Services will not be available.
User feedback
From time to time we may ask you for feedback about our site. This information allows us to better understand the needs of our users and to gather information about health issues and trends. We store answers but these are not linked to identifying information about you and they will not be shared with third parties.
Log information
When you visit our site, our servers will collect log information. This information may include your page request, Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. Log information helps us to gather information about how our site is being used such as the pages visitors are viewing.
Cookies
We use cookies to make your use of our site and services as convenient as possible. Cookies do not personally identify you; they are pieces of information that a site transfers to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We can also use cookies to monitor the amount of people using our site and how they are using it. You can set your browser to refuse cookies but this may mean you cannot log in or take full advantage of our site.
2. Will any information be used or disclosed?
Other than as referred to below, we will not use or disclose any personal information about you without your consent unless all identifying information about you has first been removed. There may be exceptional circumstances where this may not be possible, such as if disclosure is required by law, is necessary to protect our rights or property or any member of the public, or to lessen a serious threat to a person’s health or safety.
If you do not wish for your information to be disclosed or used as referred to below, please deregister from the site and contact us as soon as possible at digitalpsychteam@flinders.edu.au to let us know.
Health information
Sensitive information on your health that you provide within the App will be de-identified and forwarded to Flinders University, Government health organisations (including SA Health), and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) (collectively “the Public Health Authorities”). The Public Health Authorities utilise this information to collate data on symptoms within the community.
We may disclose aggregate health and sensitive information from the Services to health researchers including for the purpose of identifying health patterns that could support health care practitioners recommending health interventions at an earlier stage. Whilst we would not disclose your identity details with this information, some of the information by its very nature could lead to a user being identified.
Other uses
We may use your personal and sensitive information on a de-identified basis for analysis, research and quality assurance and improvement purposes. We may provide your personal (contact) information to researchers who may wish to contact you regarding relevant research approved by a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) ethics committee.
We may also disclose your personal and sensitive information to third party service providers (such as our IT service providers) to the extent necessary to provide services to us.
We use your personal information to verify your identity, notify you of new or changed services, tailor the content you see on our site and to contact you as required.
