How does Novotech collect personal information online?

Like many Web sites, this site collects information from its visitors permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and so on).

How does Novotech use personal information and to whom do we disclose it?

Novotech uses personal information for the following purposes:
 
     
 
To provide ongoing information about Novotech’s services to people that Novotech believes may be interested;
To provide services (including advice) that have been requested;
To involve doctors/investigators (and people who assist them) in clinical trials;
To comply with legal obligations, and
To assess suitability for employment opportunities
 
 
 
  Information may also be disclosed to regulatory authorities and ethics committees as part of a clinical trial evaluation, monitoring or inspection process.

Generally, we require that organisations outside Novotech who handle or obtain personal information as service providers to Novotech acknowledge the confidentiality of this information, undertake to respect an individual’s right to privacy and comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth), Privacy Act 1993 as amended and this policy.

Passive Information Collection

As you navigate through our Web site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses, Internet tags, sessions ,cookies, and navigational data collection.

We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on this site. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user’s computer). We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and administer and improve the site.

“Internet tags” (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor’s computer. We do not use Internet tags at this site.

“Session” cookies are temporary bits of information that are erased once you exit your Web browser window or otherwise turn your computer off. Session cookies are used to improve navigation on Web sites and to collect aggregate statistical information. This site uses session cookies.

A “cookie” is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.

“Navigational data” (“log files”, “server logs”, and “clickstream” data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, for market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This site uses navigational data.

Security of personal information

Novotech will take reasonable steps to protect personal information as it is transmitted from your computer to our online resources and servers, as well as to protect personal information in its possession from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

This information will be shared within Novotech only. Except as described above we will not knowingly disclose any of this personal information to outside parties unless you have consented to the disclosure or we are required by law to do so.

While we endeavour to keep information and materials on the Site, including those provided by you or on you behalf, secure and confidential, we will not be responsible for any breach of security caused by third parties and do not represent that our Web site is completely secure.
