We would only provide your personal information to a third party if it is necessary to perform our activities (i.e.if you have specific dietary requirements, we would provide that information to the organiser of the event).
Health information and other sensitive information
If you provide us with details of how you have been affected by brain cancer, including information about your medical condition, history andtreatment, this is considered health information. We will always seek your consent to the use and disclosure of such information, including using your story and image in our communications, social media and promotional material.
Research participants
If you participate in research programs that we conduct, we may collect personal information to record your involvement and to process the results of research and to contact you regarding participation in the study or future studies. The information we collect from you will generally be sensitive information because it will be your health information and could be other sensitive information such as information about your racial or ethnic origin. It will be handled in accordance with this privacy policy and any relevant research ethics approved by an external committee.
We may collect your personal information including:
• your medical history including, where relevant, a family medical history;

Biobank
As a brain cancer research organisation, we operate a biobank which stores biological samples and associated health data for use in research. Third party research organisations may provide us with samples and data from participants in their research studies, for inclusion in a biobank. We may use these samples and data to generate genetic or genomic information. Biobanks are a valuable resource to support research to develop new treatments, drugs and therapies and to understand health and disease conditions more broadly. We work with reputable contractors and third party service providers to operate our biobanks. Our biobank is designed and managed to protect the privacy of individuals and to comply with the highest standard of legal requirements and clinical ethics. In most cases, the biological samples and associated data are de-identified and it is not possible to identify individuals to whom the sample and associated data relates. Where this is the case, the samples and data will not be personal information which is subject to privacy laws. Where we do hold personal information in the biobank, it will be handled in accordance with this privacy policy and the relevant human research ethics approved by an external Human Research Ethics Committee. Research participants enrolled in this research will be given further information detailing how their personal information (including health information) will be handled.
