Privacy

In order to protect your right to privacy, we have developed this Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy explains:
1. how we collect and use your personal information;
2. your right of access to your personal information;
3. your right to inspect and, where necessary, correct the personal information that we hold about you;
4. your right to have your privacy complaints investigated and resolved; and
5. your right to have your personal information protected from misuse or unauthorised access.
The Campaigns Team will take reasonable steps to protect the privacy of the personal information that we collect and use. Our Privacy Policy sets out how we intend to do so. This policy applies to all users of this Website who provide us with their personal information. This policy does not apply to employees of The Campaigns Team who provide us with their personal information.
Personal information is any information that can be used to identify you. This includes any personal information or opinions about you, whether true or not, no matter how the information or opinions are recorded.
We collect personal information from users of this Website in order to provide those users with certain services or functionality in areas of this Website. We may restrict access to certain areas of this Website only to users who have provided personal information. Below are some examples of what information we commonly collect:
1. Personal details, like name or date of birth
2. Contact details
3. Payment information for donations
4. Interests and opinions
5. Online activity
6. Your support for our work, like signing a petition, hosting an event or participating in activities
7. Other areas of our work you might be interested in supporting
8. Your communication preferences
9. Conversations by phone or email with the Campaigns Team staff, volunteers and contractors.
In most cases, we’ll ask you for this information directly (for example asking you to complete a petition form, or sending you a survey), however some information is collected automatically (like online activity by visitors to our website) or from another source (like updating mailing addresses from Australia Post, information that is listed in public directories, or obtaining details for potential future supporters from like-minded organisations or third-party suppliers).
You are not obliged to give us your personal information. However, if you choose not to provide The Campaigns Team with your personal details we may not be able to provide our services to you and may not allow you to access certain areas of this Website.
The personal information that we collect and hold usually falls into the following categories:
1. when you visit the publicly available parts of this Website, The Campaigns Team or the Website Hosting Provider used by The Campaigns Team may collect your IP address, your top level domain name, the date and time of your visit, the pages you access, the previous website you visited and the type of web browser you use;
2. we may record your e-mail address if you undertake any of the services provided on the Website; or
3. We will not use your personal information for any purpose which is not related to a service we provide to you or to the functionality of this Website. We will not use your personal information in a manner contrary to this policy.
4. We will take steps to ensure that the personal information that we hold is accurate and up to date. If you feel that information about you is not accurate or your details have or are about to change, please inform us and, upon verification, we will correct or update your personal information (in the manner we describe below).
5. If you would like to access any of our services on an anonymous basis please tell us. If this is possible and lawful, we will take reasonable steps to comply with your request. However, if you choose not to provide us with your personal information we are not likely to be able to provide you with the services or access to sections of this Website you require.
Where possible, we collect your personal information directly from you. In some situations we collect personal information about you from a third party source. If we collect information about you in this way, we will take reasonable steps to contact you and ensure that you are aware of the purposes for which we are collecting your personal information and the organisations to which we might disclose your information, subject to any exceptions under the Privacy Act.
We will use and disclose information for the primary purpose for which it was collected. We may also use and disclose personal information for purposes that are related or ancillary to the main reasons we collect it. The Campaigns Team may also be required, by law, to disclose personal information to law enforcement officers or other persons.
We never disclose personal information that we collect to third parties for the purpose of allowing them to direct market their products and services unless you have given us your permission for us to do this.
The Campaigns Team engages some third party contractors to perform services for us, which may involve the contractor handling personal information we hold. In these circumstances we prohibit the third party contractor from using personal information about you except for the specific purpose for which we supply it.
You have a right to access your personal information, subject to certain exceptions provided for in the Privacy Act. We will provide access by allowing you to inspect, take notes of or receive copies or print outs of the personal information that we hold about you. To obtain access please make your request in writing to The Campaigns Team using the contact information provided on the Website.
Access to this information will be denied if:
1. the request does not relate to the personal information of the person making the request;
2. providing access would pose a serious and imminent threat to the life or health of a person;
3. providing access would create an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others;
4. the request is frivolous or vexatious;
5. the request relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings;
6. the information is subject to legal professional privilege;
7. providing access would prejudice negotiations with the individual making the request;
8. access would be unlawful;
9. denial of access is authorised or required by law;
10. access would prejudice law enforcement activities;
11. access discloses a ‘commercially sensitive’ decision making process or information; or
12. any other reason that is provided for in the National Privacy Principles or the Privacy Act.
13. If we deny access to information we will give you our reasons for denying access.
We will take all reasonable steps to provide you with access to the information requested within 14 days of your request. In situations where the request is complicated or requires access to a large volume of information, we will provide access to the information requested within 30 days.
The Campaigns Team may charge you a fee to reimburse us for the costs we incur relating to your request for access to information.
We will take all reasonable steps to secure your personal information. Electronic information is protected by various security measures and access to information and databases is restricted to the staff and contractors of The Campaigns team that need access to the information in order to perform their duties.
Where there is a dispute about your right of access to information, or about any aspect of this Privacy Policy, this will be dealt with in accordance with our Terms of Access and Use for this Website.
We reserve the right to review, and if necessary, change this policy without notice to you.
