SCN2A Australia respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
Personal data we collect and why.
Comments and messages
When visitors leave comments or send messages through the site, we collect the data shown in the form, and also the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address (a "hash") may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it; after a comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Contact and registration forms
When you contact us, subscribe to our newsletter, or join the SCN2A Insights Registry, we collect the details you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, and postal address, so we can respond to you and provide the service you have requested.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included, as visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if you had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
How we use cookies.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again. These cookies last for one year.
If you have an account and log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days and screen-options cookies for a year; selecting "Remember Me" extends your login for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
Who we share your data with, and for how long.
Your data is not shared with anyone outside SCN2A Australia, except where required to deliver a service you have requested or where we are obliged to by law. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username); website administrators can also see and edit that information.
The rights you have over your data.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
