Protecting your privacy is important to us. We hope the following statement will help you understand how Meningitis Centre Australia (MCA) collects, uses, and safeguards the personal information you provide on our website.
Information Collection
When you browse MCA’s website, you do so anonymously. We don’t collect personal information – including your e-mail address. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which parts of our website you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable. The only other information automatically provided to us is the type of computer and operating system you are using. Your browser supplies us with this information.
At times we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, such as your e-mail address and postal address, for purposes such as corresponding with us, sending out a newsletter, making a donation, or participating in an online survey. This information will not be provided to other parties. MCA will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that you only provide personal information in a secure environment and when the information is no longer needed it will be destroyed or permanently rendered anonymous.
Like many other websites, the MCA website may use a standard technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how you use the site.
