How is my personal information kept secure?

The security of your information is a high priority. We undertake a number of measures to ensure this.

The website runs in secure mode. Data travelling between your computer and the website is encrypted and can’t be captured by a third party. We also run security testing on the website to ensure the website itself has no vulnerabilities.

Any saliva, blood or samples collected from you will be stored indefinitely at the Genetic Epidemiology Laboratory at The University of Melbourne. They will be stored securely and only Cancer Council Victoria and Melbourne University authorised staff will have access to them. Your biological samples will be labelled with a unique code and only designated staff will be able to link that code to you.

Do you have a question? Check out the FAQs page on the ABC Study website or contact the ABC Study Team - we are here to help.
