Privacy Policy
Federal legislation now requires companies and societies who deal with personal information after the end of 2002 to adopt a privacy policy to protect such information being used for purposes other than intended by the owner of the information.
Society memberships, conferences and meetings, do by their nature, demand the collection of personal and sensitive information and hence the new privacy legislation directly impacts on the operations of the Australasian Proteomics Society (APS) and their members.
APS's privacy policy defines their collection of personal information as a function conducted in their member’s interest and essential for the successful conduct of the member’s normal activities. The essential elements of APS’s policy are:
- Information is collected from forms filled in by the applicant and is only used for the purpose for which it was collected.
- Information is recorded on a computer, in a society specific database, which is protected by password from use by any one other than authorised staff. The computer system is protected by firewall from external access and the personal information is not stored on any web-site.
- APS commits to only use sensitive information for the reason it was supplied. Credit card information is not stored as part of the individual’s personal details but only used for the transactions authorised by the member.
- Information in databases is not sold to any third party interest.
- Information is only passed to third party interest when requested by the applicant and only for purposes directly related to:
i) the supply of services/products endorsed by or associated with the Australasian Proteomics Society; and
ii) membership of the Society
Please ensure that you indicate on your new membership application or subscription renewal form that you have clearly read this document and agree with this policy and the use of your personal information by the Australasian Proteomics Society (APS).
