At AussieThink, we take privacy very seriously. We will never disclose your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, or any other contact information about you to third parties except under circumstances required by law. All information about you is stored on secure and protected servers.
We have also implemented security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of any information we hold about you. All data from our surveys is transferred to our clients in an anonymous form. The specific answers you give in each survey cannot identify you personally.
Certain personal information about you is collected when you register with us. This information includes, but may not be limited to, information about your ethnicity, your political preferences, finances, your occupation, and information about your place of residence.
We collect certain personal information about you for several important reasons:
AussieThink does not disclose any identification to third parties which may identify you personally in connection with any survey completed. Survey data transferred to clients of AussieThink does not contain any identifying information. All information collected by AussieThink is treated as confidential.
The information we gather from online surveys is used by third parties for the purposes of market research or scientific analysis. These third parties are the clients of AussieThink who pay us to collect their data. Clients of AussieThink may include commercial ventures or individuals, or educational institutions. Data collected in our surveys may be used for statistical or qualitative analysis.
AussieThink takes reasonable steps to protect its data including the use of encryption technologies, password protected files and folders, and firewalls. Your personal information may be kept indefinitely, and may be transferred between multiple computers in multiple locations. Only authorised staff of AussieThink may have access to your personal information. Although we take reasonable measures to protect your survey responses and personal data, we cannot and do not guarantee that any data will not be stolen, accessed, or altered in any way as a result of illegal penetration of our security systems.
By registering with AussieThink, you consent to the collection and use of information by AussieThink as specified above. If all or part of AussieThink is sold, merged, or otherwise transferred to another entity, the personal information you have given us in registration may transfer to another party as part of the transaction. Personally identifiable information may also be transferred to a third party when disclosure is required by law, or is needed to permit us to exercise our legal rights or take action regarding illegal activities or to protect the safety of any individual.
