The Social Research Centre Privacy Policy |
Our company uses information only for research purposes. This means that we use it to investigate the behaviours, needs, attitudes, opinions, motivations or other characteristics of various groups within the Australian population. We do this to provide information to our clients that will assist them in making decisions about their programs, services and policies. The input of research participants into these decisions is important, and the more people that participate, the more the results that are obtained truly reflect the spectrum of Australian society.
If you participate in our research, we may wish to collect your name and contact details so that we can contact you about the research. However, as researchers, we are generally interested in the responses of large groups of people, rather than individuals. We typically combine the information collected from all the research participants to get an overall picture. This overall picture is then reported to our clients.
Details that identify you are removed from your responses to the research once they are no longer needed for the research. However, while your information remains identifiable, you have the right to request access to, and/or correction or deletion of any information about you held by our company.
Our company is bound by the Market and Social Research Privacy principles that are approved by the Federal Privacy Commissioner. Information can be found on the website of the Association of Market and Social Research Organisations: www.amsro.com.au
We also abide by the principles of the Australian Market & Social Research Society's Code of Professional Behaviour. Information can be viewed on the website of the Australian Market & Social Research Society: www.amsrs.com.au
