We respect your privacy and take all reasonable care when dealing with personal information. Personal information collected in Australia is managed in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) stated in the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988, which regulates how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, stored and processed and how individuals may access and correct personal information held about them.
When dealing with personal information obtained from individuals within the European Union or European Economic Area (EU/EEA), information will be managed in accordance with the requirements of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), where that regulation applies.
In addition to applicable privacy laws, clinical research is governed by internationally recognised requirements and ethical standards, including ICH Good Clinical Practice (ICH E6(R3)) and the Australian ethical framework established by the NHMRC National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research, as well as other applicable laws, regulations and ethical requirements in the countries in which a clinical trial is conducted. These requirements include obligations relating to the use, protection, confidentiality and security of personal and sensitive information obtained from clinical trial participants.
Personal information is information or an opinion which identifies or is capable of identifying an individual. Information collected through this website may include your name, contact details, age, location or preferred study centre and information you provide about your health and potential eligibility for a clinical trial.
Sensitive information includes information or an opinion about an individual’s health, genetic or biometric information and certain other categories of personal information requiring a higher level of protection. Information about diabetes, diabetic foot ulcers or other health information provided through this website may constitute sensitive information.
In the course of clinical trial pre-screening and recruitment activities, personal and sensitive information may be collected, used, disclosed and processed about individuals who register their interest in a clinical trial. This information will only be collected by lawful means and used for specific purposes relevant to assessing potential eligibility, responding to an expression of interest and supporting appropriate contact with the relevant clinical study site or study team.
Personal information submitted through this website is collected for the purpose of clinical trial pre-screening and follow-up. The information provided will be shared only with the relevant clinical study site or study team for the purpose of contacting you and assessing whether the clinical trial may be suitable for you, except where disclosure is required or authorised by law.
Personal information submitted through this website will not be retained after it has been securely shared with the relevant clinical study site or study team, except where retention is required by law or an applicable clinical trial, ethical or regulatory requirement.
All personal information will be used for the purpose for which it was obtained, a secondary purpose that is directly related to the primary purpose, with your consent or where required or authorised by law.
Personal information will only be disclosed to the relevant clinical study site or study team for the purposes of clinical trial pre-screening, follow-up and assessment of potential eligibility. It will not be sold or used for unrelated marketing purposes.
Where practicable, an individual may remain anonymous or use a pseudonym when dealing with the clinical study team. However, if an individual wishes to register interest in a clinical trial, certain information, including contact details, may be required so that the study team can respond to the enquiry and assess potential eligibility. If this information is not provided, it may not be possible for the study team to contact the individual or progress the expression of interest.
Reasonable steps are taken to ensure that personal information managed in connection with the website and clinical trial pre-screening process is accurate, up to date and complete. These steps may include updating personal information when advised that the information has changed and at other times where necessary.
The responsibility for protecting personal information is taken seriously. Appropriate technical, organisational and administrative safeguards are used to protect personal and sensitive information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
If a privacy or data security breach occurs, reasonable steps will be taken to assess and respond to the breach, mitigate any potential harm and, where required by applicable law, notify affected individuals and the relevant regulatory or supervisory authority.
Personal information held by the relevant clinical study site or study team will only be retained for as long as it is required for the purpose for which it was collected or as required under applicable clinical trial, ethical, regulatory or legal requirements. When personal information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, destroyed, de-identified or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements.
Individuals may request access to personal information held about them or request that inaccurate or incomplete personal information be corrected. Access or correction may be limited where there is a lawful basis for doing so under the Privacy Act 1988 or another applicable law or regulatory requirement.
By submitting information through this website, you acknowledge that the information you provide may be used for clinical trial pre-screening and may be shared with the relevant clinical study site or study team for the purpose of contacting you and assessing whether the clinical trial may be suitable for you. Registering interest does not mean that you are enrolled in or eligible to participate in the clinical trial.
