The privacy of all those who use this website is of prime importance to us.

Except as otherwise provided in this website privacy policy and our privacy policy, we will not wilfully disclose any personal information regarding our users without first obtaining their approval, unless required to do so to satisfy a legal obligation.?By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of your information as outlined in this website privacy policy, to our terms of use and our privacy policy.

What information do we collect?

We do not collect any personal information about you (such as your name or email address) from your use of this website, except where you have specifically provided us with that information.

If you specifically and knowingly provide any personal information to us via this website, you consent to Q-Med using that personal information lawfully at its sole and absolute discretion, including for the purposes of providing promotional and marketing materials by other means. If you specifically and knowingly provide any personal information to us via this website you give consent to Q-Med using the information. Q-Med will only use the information in adherence to our Privacy Policy. You must obtain the consent of any third person whose personal information you post to this website.

Whenever you use our website, or any other website, the computer on which the web pages are stored (the Web server) needs to know the network address of your computer so that it can send the requested web pages to your Internet browser. The unique network address of your computer is called its "IP address," and is sent automatically each time you access any Internet site.

From a computer's IP address, it is possible to determine the general geographic location of that computer, but otherwise it is anonymous.

We do keep a record of the IP addresses from which users access our site. We use this aggregate data for internal administration, and to analyse the ways in which people use our site. The resulting information helps us to keep improving the services we offer you, but cannot be used to identify you personally.

What are "cookies" and why do we use them?

A "cookie" is a file that is sent to your Internet browser by a Web Server and is stored on your computer. It contains data that websites use to identify you as a unique user.

This website does use cookies to store certain information on your computer. Our use of cookies allows us to enhance your use of our website. The cookies we set on your computer are designed only to be read by our website.

You should also be aware that other companies which advertise on, or are linked to from our site may collect information from you if you click on their advertisements or access their sites. They may do this by using cookies.

Due to the way the Internet operates, we cannot control the collection of information by other people. Most Internet browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. However, you may be able to change the settings of your browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to your computer, giving you the choice whether to accept it or not.

If at any time you would like your information, if any, to be removed from our system, please email ourselves on privacy.australia@q-med.com. If you have any questions or concerns about the way in which information is collected or used by others via our website, then you should contact that other person or organisation directly.

Do we disclose information about our users to anyone else?

We may share general information about the use of our site with advertisers, mutual suppliers, content providers and other third parties. However, we generally only disclose aggregate, anonymous information about our users and except where otherwise specifically required to do so, will not disclose any personally identifiable information to any third party without your approval. On occasions it may become necessary to release personal information, including if we are required to do so to satisfy a legal obligation.

For example, we may disclose the total number of "hits" our sites receive, or how often the average user visits our site, or which terms are most often entered in our site search engine. ?Further, as a necessary adjunct to the proper operation of our website, our staff and technical contractors, who are subject to obligations of confidentiality to us, may gain access to personal information as part of their service.

We receive and reply to email from users on a regular basis. For record-keeping purposes and in order answer your query or comply with your request we retain copies of most email sent to us. We do not anticipate that the information in the email we receive or send will be disclosed to any third party without the permission of the sender, either express or implied, unless required or necessary as specified in the previous paragraph.
