Security Measures

We take reasonable steps to protect the security of personal information (including cookie information) in accordance with this Privacy Statement and our Website Terms of Use.

We do not give out information about our customers and your personal details are protected by your user name and password and our secure servers. When you give us your credit card details, they are encrypted for additional security.

Once we receive information that you have transmitted to us, we will take reasonable steps to preserve the security of that information in our own systems. However you should regularly check your computer equipment for Malware such as Spyware, Trojans or key loggers.

You can also play an important role in keeping your personal information secure, by maintaining confidentiality of any user name, password, profile and accounts used on the website. Please advise us immediately if there is any unauthorised use of your user name, password, profile or accounts by any other internet user or any other breach of security. To ensure ongoing privacy we recommend you change your passwords from time to time, and never give your password to anyone.

Third party websites should contain their own privacy statements and the operators of those third party websites are responsible for their own privacy practices.

How We Handle Email

We may save any e-mail that you send us, if we believe we have a legal requirement to do so. We may monitor e-mail message content for security issues including where e-mail abuse is suspected.

Your Rights and Disclosure

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), you have certain rights to access and request correction of personal information that we hold about you. Any such request, or any inquiry about our Privacy Statement, should be sent to us the following address: info@opalbiosciences.com.

We may disclose your personal information including your name and contact details to any relevant authorities, parties and/or applicable intellectual property right holders (or their representatives) if we consider that you are in breach of our Website Terms of Use or any agreement that we have with you, and that disclosure is required for those parties to enforce our or their rights.

If you subscribe to a mailing list that we maintain (including an e-mail subscription list), you can ask us to remove you from that list at any time by using the “unsubscribe” facility referred to in our message to you, or by sending us an e-mail with your details to info@opalbiosciences.com.

You usually cannot be identified from the information that is shared. If you can be identified from this information, we will seek your consent before sharing the information.

Third party websites should contain their own privacy statements and the operators of those third party websites are responsible for their own privacy practices.
