By visiting and/or using the www.primaryanatomy.com website (Website) or by engaging Primary Anatomy to provide you with the Services, you agree to the terms of this policy and you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with what is set out below. This Privacy Policy applies whenever the Company receives your personal information [as a data controller] for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Those purposes are processing data so that you can engage with this site or as mentioned below. For data protection purposes we are the controller and, unless otherwise noted, also the processor of data.

The collection, use and disclosure of your personal information is governed by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) if you are in Australia or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) if you are in Europe.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at pa@primaryanatomy.com (see “Contact Us” section below).

Information Collected From Third Parties

We try and collect personal information directly from you. However, we may collect personal information from third parties.

Information Automatically Collected

When you visit this Website, other kinds of information may also be collected automatically as part of this Website’s operation. This includes the website that referred you to us, your IP address, browser type and language, and access times. We may also collect navigational information, including information about the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions taken in connection with the Website. We may combine your visit and navigational information with personal information that you provide.

We use “cookies” to enable you to sign in to our services and to help personalise your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard drive. Cookies contain information, including personal information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. The information that cookies collect includes the date and time of your visit, your registration information, and your navigational and purchase history. Cookies offer you many conveniences. They allow us to identify registered users when they return to the site so that they can retrieve previous image search results and view their previous invoices. Cookies also save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information.

In some cases, our third-party service providers may use cookies on our sites. We have no access to or control over these cookies. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Primary Anatomy only and does not cover the use of cookies by third parties.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other interactive features of our sites and services that depend on cookies.

In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies, including single-pixel gifs (also known as web beacons) on our websites and in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters. These tiny electronic images assist us in determining how many users have visited certain pages or opened messages or newsletters. We do not use these images to collect personal information.

Use Of Your Personal Information

We use the personal information you have given us for purposes which are consistent with the reason you provided the personal information, or for a directly related purpose. Such purposes for which we may use your personal information include:

  • to give you information about us or our Services where you have contacted us;
  • manage your account;
  • provide the Services to our clients;
  • effectively communicating with you;
  • operating and improving our Website;
  • providing customer service;
  • performing research and analysis aimed at improving our products and services;
  • displaying content that is customised to your interests and preferences; and
  • providing online interactive forums.

We may also use or disclose your personal information where you have consented to the use, either expressly or by implication.

Where Your Information Is Stored

Personal information that we collect is stored in our electronic document management system or on back up servers overseas such as United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands and Singapore. We take all reasonable steps to protect personal information no matter what country it is stored in. However, information collected may be retained, and may be stored, processed, accessed, and used in jurisdictions whose privacy laws may be different and less protective than those of in Australia. By using the Website or giving us the personal information requested, you consent to any such transfer, processing and storage of personal information outside of Australia.

For persons in the EU: We and some of our external service providers may not be in the country where you submitted your personal information. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to countries that have different levels of data protection laws to where you are. Where local data regulations require it, we have put in place security measures for the export of personal information from its country of origin. Where local data regulations require it, we have made arrangements with those receiving your personal information, that they will put security measures in place and that your personal information is processed in accordance with EU data protection laws.

Disclosure Of Your Personal Information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to or with any third parties. We may disclose your personal information to external service providers in the circumstances discussed below.

We may share your personal information with external service providers who perform services on our behalf. For example, we may hire other companies to handle the processing of payments, to provide data storage, to host websites, to assist in direct marketing, to fulfil orders and shipments, to conduct audits, to provide email services, to provide data/website security, to provide an educational platform, to provide a shop-front platform, to assist with various plugins, etc. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to provide the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose. We will take all reasonable steps to make sure they comply with the same privacy principles that govern our collection of your personal information.

Some of these service providers may be overseas. While we do our best to make sure that overseas service providers to whom we give your personal information will comply with the same privacy principles as us we cannot guarantee it. By giving us your personal information you consent to the disclosure of personal information to overseas service providers who may not comply.

We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, respond to claims, or protect the rights, property or safety of our company, employees, customers, or the public.

Security Of Your Personal Information

The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow accepted industry standards to help protect your personal information. For instance, when you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer (SSL) technology. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security and any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

Marketing

We may send you surveys or marketing communications to inform you of new products or services or other information that may be of interest. Third parties with whom we have shared your personal information may send you direct marketing communications.

If you do not want to receive direct marketing communications from us, it is easy to opt out by going to your “My Account” settings or following the “unsubscribe” instructions included within each email communication. Alternatively, you can send us an email request at pa@primaryanatomy.com (see “Contact Us” section below). Please keep in mind that, if you choose not to receive marketing communications, you will continue to receive transactional or account communications (e.g., confirmation emails and account balance statements).

You can request this information by emailing us at pa@primaryanatomy.com (see “Contact Us” section below) or writing to us at GPO Box 2189, Sydney, NSW, 2001, Australia.

We can provide you with a copy of personal information held on our current records at no charge. However, we will not be obliged to provide you with a copy or give you access to your personal information if by doing so we would reveal personal information about another person.

If your personal information has been disclosed to a third party, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable steps to notify the third party of the updated information.
