Your privacy is important to us. In order to provide you with a
professional quality service in natural fertility regulation we
will need to ask you questions, the answers to which will be personal
and sensitive.
All information pertaining to you and your use of the Internet
teaching service is held in an on-line database. Access to the database
is protected by various passwords pertaining to instructor, student
and database manager.
The information that is held consists of
1. The geographic location and internet service provider's address
that is submitted by you in order to gain a user ID and password;
2. Your privacy options and service agreement;
3. Your fertility history and objectives;
4. Your fertility observations, and messages interchanged with your
instructor.
The key threats to the privacy of this information are
1. the security threats to information on the Internet that is not
encrypted, and only protected by password
2. the confidentiality of your userID and password.
For this reason there is no personal identifying information
recorded about you. The only link between you and the information recorded about you is your userID.
You are free at any time to reverse your enrolment (drop unit).
If you submit this request your fertility records will be removed
from the on-line database. Neither you nor your instructor will
be able to access them.
You may also de-register, in which case your registration information
will be removed from the on-line database and your userID and password
will no longer be recognised.
However in both these cases your records may persist in
database archives. The time taken for archival information
to be purged is not guaranteed.
Depending on the response that you submit to the following questions
your fertility records may be used as described below. You must
respond to question 1 in the affirmative in order to use the service.
1. I authorise recording of such information as is necessary for
the adequate provision of the service I have sought. YES/NO
2. I authorise the teacher to disclose non-identifying information
about my case in order to seek such other professional advice as
may be necessary to provide me with this service. YES/NO
3. I authorise the teacher to use my de-identified data for future
research or statistical collection purposes or to use my de-identified
fertility chart for training purposes. YES/NO
