Tele-Optic Services Pty Ltd is committed to protecting the privacy, confidentiality, and security of users who utilise our artificial intelligence (AI), image analysis, and scientific software applications. Our software incorporates advanced computational algorithms designed to assist with image processing, quantitative analysis, decision support, and scientific interpretation across medical, dental, astronomical, meteorological, environmental, and other research disciplines.

​​​

1. Purpose of Data Processing

Our applications analyse user-supplied images and related data solely to provide the functions requested by the user. Depending on the application, these may include:

• Medical and dental image analysis

• Diagnostic support and treatment planning

• Colour and grayscale image processing

• Scientific image enhancement

• Astrophotographic image analysis

• Astronomical object detection and classification

• Meteorological and radar image interpretation

• Environmental and remote sensing analysis

• Educational and scientific research applications

Data are processed only for the purposes of providing the analytical functions of the software and improving the user experience where permitted by law.

​​​

2. User Consent

Where required by applicable law, medical ethics, institutional policies, or research protocols, imaging data are collected and processed only with the user's or authorised organisation's informed consent.

Users remain responsible for ensuring they have the legal authority to upload any images or datasets into the software.

​​​

3. Privacy and Confidentiality

Tele-Optic Services Pty Ltd does not sell personal information or confidential datasets.

Any uploaded medical, dental, scientific, astronomical, meteorological, or research images remain the property of the user or the organisation that owns the data.

Unless expressly authorised by the user or required by law:

• data are not disclosed to third parties;

• confidential information is not shared for commercial purposes;

• personally identifiable information is not intentionally distributed.

​​​​

4. Data Security

We implement appropriate administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards designed to protect user data against:

• unauthorised access;

• unauthorised disclosure;

• accidental loss;

• alteration;

• misuse; and

• destruction.

Security measures are periodically reviewed to reflect evolving industry standards and technological developments.

​​

5. User Rights

Where applicable under relevant privacy legislation, users may have the right to:

• access their stored data;

• correct inaccurate information;

• request deletion of eligible data;

• withdraw previously granted consent where legally permitted;

• request information regarding data processing practices.

Requests should be submitted directly to Tele-Optic Services Pty Ltd using the official contact information provided with the software.

​​​

6. AI-Assisted Decision Support

The AI systems developed by Tele-Optic Services Pty Ltd are intended to assist users by providing computational analysis, quantitative measurements, visualisation tools, and scientific interpretation.

These applications are decision-support tools only.

They are not intended to replace:

• qualified medical practitioners;

• dental professionals;

• scientists;

• astronomers;

• meteorologists;

• engineers;

• researchers; or

• other appropriately qualified professionals.

Users remain responsible for independently evaluating results and making final professional, clinical, operational, or research decisions.

​​​

7. Scientific and Research Applications

Certain applications developed by Tele-Optic Services Pty Ltd—including, but not limited to, iSkyMatch, iAstroGraph, AstroGraph, SkyRadar, and other scientific software—are intended for scientific analysis, educational use, engineering applications, observational research, and image interpretation.

Analytical outputs generated by these applications should be interpreted within the limitations of the input data, imaging conditions, and computational models employed.

Where research-grade accuracy is required, users should verify results using appropriate scientific methodologies, calibration standards, and independent validation procedures.

​​​​

8. Medical and Dental Applications

Applications developed for medical or dental use are designed to provide supplementary computational analysis and should be interpreted alongside:

• clinical examination;

• patient history;

• diagnostic imaging;

• laboratory findings; and

• professional judgement.

Clinical decisions should never rely solely on automated software output.

​​​​

9. Continuous Development

Tele-Optic Services Pty Ltd continuously develops and refines its AI algorithms, image-processing techniques, and scientific software to improve performance, reproducibility, accuracy, and usability.

Software updates may introduce new analytical capabilities, enhanced computational models, improved security features, or expanded compatibility across supported platforms.

​​

10. Compliance

Tele-Optic Services Pty Ltd aims to develop software consistent with applicable privacy, security, and ethical principles relevant to the jurisdictions in which its applications are used.

Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with any additional institutional, governmental, or regulatory requirements applicable to their specific use of the software.

​​​

11. Acceptance of Terms

By installing, accessing, or using any software developed by Tele-Optic Services Pty Ltd, users acknowledge that they have read, understood, and accepted this Privacy Notice together with the applicable Terms of Use and End User Licence Agreement (EULA), where provided.

Continued use of the software constitutes acceptance of these conditions.

​​​

Scope of Applications

This Privacy Notice applies to AI systems, image-analysis software, and scientific applications developed by Tele-Optic Services Pty Ltd, including medical, dental, astronomical, meteorological, environmental, engineering, educational, and research software, unless a product-specific privacy policy states otherwise.
