How we use information

The Institute uses your information to better understand your needs and provide you with a better website experience. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction, to communicate back to you, to update you on service and benefits, and to make our web sites more relevant and useful to you. From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research or to provide you with marketing information we think would be of particular interest. At a minimum, we will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such direct marketing or market research contact. We will also follow Australian regulatory requirements, such as allowing you to opt in before receiving unsolicited contact, where applicable.

Who we share it with

The Sax Institute will not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information to others. Unless we have your permission or are required by law, we will only share the personal data you provide online with other Institute personnel and/or business partners who are acting on our behalf for the uses described in ‘how we use information’. Such personnel and/or business partners are governed by our privacy policies with respect to the use of this data and are bound by the appropriate confidentiality agreements.

However, please note that we ask authors to submit manuscripts via the ScholarOne manuscript management system (System) which is provided by Clarivate and any personal information submitted via the System is subject to Clarivate’s Privacy policy.

The security of your information

The Institute is committed to ensuring the security of your information. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We use and implement industry standards for the security and protection of information collected from users. Your information is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities. The Institute does not disclose your personal information to persons or entities based overseas. However, the Institute does from time to time contract third party organisations to provide specific services, and that may result in some cases in your personal information being stored on servers located outside of Australia for the purposes related to the service.

Unfortunately, no server on the Internet or any data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Despite our best efforts to keep our server and transmissions to and from our server secure, we are unable to absolutely guarantee security and there will always be a risk of unauthorised access to your information. Although we will take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information, which we hold about you, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to such information.

The Institute strives to keep your personally identifiable information accurate and current. If you have provided personal contact or other information to us, you can contact us to request the details be updated, or to request they be no longer used by us. We will do our best to respond to your requests in a timely manner. As well as updating your contact information, you have the right to opt in or out of receiving additional information from us via post and/or email.
