The Australia and New Zealand Headache Society (ANZHS) has a strong commitment to privacy, recognising that we are a public association. This statement outlines the policies and procedures concerning information gathering and dissemination practices for our website.
Collecting and Using User Information
ANZHS collects information in different ways from those who access our sites. We use this information primarily to provide a customised experience as you use our sites and do not share this information with third parties. However, we may disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required by law, or in other special cases described below.
Our sites use order forms for customers to request information, products, and services. We collect users’ contact information (e.g., name and e-mail address) and financial information (e.g., account or credit card numbers). Contact information from the order form is used to send orders, contact the user regarding any problems with the order, and to provide the user with information about our association, including promotional materials. Users may opt out of receiving future communications at any time using the contact form embedded in the website.
Membership Directory
Current ANZHS members’ contact information is made available through the Membership Directory. This information is only available to other current ANZHS members. Members may opt out of being listed in the Membership Directory on signing up or by contacting the secretary using the embedded contact form.
Disclosure of Personal Information
It is the notice of ANZHS not to use or share the personal information about users in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, ANZHS may disclose personal information about users, or information regarding your use of our site, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including: to satisfy laws, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Website terms of use or other user policies; to operate the site properly; or to protect ANZHS and our users.
