Privacy Policy

The Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, at the University of South Australia respects the privacy of your personal information by adhering to privacy laws. This page outlines how the Institute manages information collected through the use of its website. This information does not extend to external websites linked from the website.

Collection and use of information

One way of collecting information is through cookies, which are small information files that many websites store on your hard disk. When you log on to the sponsor login area from a particular computer for the first time, cookies containing your log on information will be saved to your hard disk. The server can then read your cookie file to confirm your identity for that site.

Cookies can only collect information that has been provided by the user, or information such as the IP address which the server already knows. The Ehrenberg-Bass Institute will not use any electronic address captured by this means to send unsolicited commercial messages.

In the case of specific personal data, the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute may only collect and use information for the purpose for which the person has expressly consented (unless otherwise required by law).

How we use email addresses

If you have provided us with your email address for inclusion in mailing lists, we may use your email address to send you occasional updates about our products and services.

These email messages are sent only when the recipient’s consent has been obtained. You may decline to receive email communication from us or request to unsubscribe from the email communication by emailing us using the email address provided with the email messages. You will be asked to include the word “unsubscribe” in the subject field of the email to enable us to respond to your requests promptly.

We do not share your email address with other organisations for them to market their products or services to you. When we hire vendors to deliver emails to you on our behalf, they cannot use your email address for any other purpose.
