Privacy policy

How we handle privacy and any personal information you share with us.

Last updated: 25 June 2026.

RadiologyScan ("we", "us") respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). This policy explains what we collect and how we use it.

Information we collect

RadiologyScan is primarily an information website, and you can read it without giving us any personal information. We may collect:

  • Information you give us — for example your name and email if you choose to send them to us.
  • Technical and usage data — standard information your browser sends (such as IP address, device and browser type, pages visited), collected automatically by our hosting provider and any analytics we use, to keep the site secure and understand how it's used.

We do not ask for health information, and we ask that you do not send us personal medical details.

How we use information

  • To respond to your enquiries and corrections.
  • To operate, secure, maintain and improve the website.
  • To understand, in aggregate, which content is useful.

We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies & analytics

We may use cookies and privacy-respecting analytics to measure traffic and improve the site. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings; the site will still work.

Third parties

We use reputable third-party providers to host and run the site (for example our website host and content delivery network). These providers process technical data on our behalf. We may disclose information if required by law.

Access, correction & complaints

You may ask us what personal information we hold about you, request a correction, or raise a privacy concern. If you have an unresolved privacy concern, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time; the "last updated" date above reflects the latest version.

Note: this is a general template provided in good faith. Please have it reviewed for your specific circumstances (and any analytics or advertising you add) before relying on it.
