PAW PARTY Privacy Policy
Guide Dogs Tasmania recognises the importance of protecting the privacy and the rights of individuals in relation to their personal information.
This privacy policy tells you how we collect and manage your personal information.
We respect your rights to privacy under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Act) and we comply with all of the Act’s requirements in respect of the collection, management and disclosure of your personal information.
What is your personal information?
‘Personal information’ means any information that can be used to personally identify you. This may include your name, address, telephone number, email address and profession or occupation. If the information we collect personally identifies you, or you are reasonably identifiable from it, the information will be considered personal information and protected in accordance with this policy and under the Act.
What personal information do we collect and hold?
We may collect the following types of personal information:
* name;
* mailing or street address;
* email address;
* telephone number/s;
* any other contact details you wish to provide;
* age or birth date;
* profession, occupation or job title;
* details of the products and services you have purchased from us or which you have enquired about, together with any additional information necessary to deliver those products and services and to respond to your enquiries;
* any additional information relating to you that you provide to us directly through our websites or indirectly through use of our websites or online presence, through our representatives or otherwise; and
* information you provide to us through customer surveys or online contacts.
We may also collect some information that is not personal information because it does not identify you or anyone else. For example, we may collect anonymous answers to surveys or information about how users use our website.
What is sensitive information?
‘Sensitive information’ (a type of personal information), means information or an opinion about an individual’s race or ethnic origins, political opinions and associations, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, sexual preferences or practices, trade or professional associations and memberships, union membership, criminal record, health or genetic information or biometric information.
What sensitive information do we collect and hold?
There are very few circumstances where we collect sensitive information – for example, as part of information collected about directors and employees for company and human resource management purposes. Where such information is collected, we will only do so if you have provided your consent or where required by law.
How do we collect your personal information?
We collect your personal information directly from you in most cases, where reasonable and practicable. When collecting personal information from you, we may collect in ways including:
* through your access and use of our website; or
* during conversations between you and our representatives; or
* when you complete an application or purchase order; or
* when the law requires.
We may also collect personal information from third parties including law enforcement agencies and other government entities where this is authorised or required by law.
Storage and security of personal information
Guide Dogs Tasmania will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep personal information accurate and up to date. We ensure this information is securely stored to protect it from loss, misuse or unauthorised access, disclosure or modification. Information is destroyed or permanently de-identified when it is no longer required for any purpose for which it was collected.
Guide Dogs Tasmania will only use and disclose personal information with your consent, unless such uses are permitted by law, including without limitation those prescribed by the Australian Privacy Principles: https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy-law/privacy-act/australian-privacy-principles.
Guide Dogs Tasmania employees, volunteers and data processors are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by the organisation.
Donor information within the Guide Dogs Tasmania database is required to be stored with a high level of security to prevent unauthorised access. Additional protections are required to be in place for confidential and financial information including:
* enforcement of user-based permissions to restrict access to confidential donor information, ensuring only employees whose jobs require access to this information are granted permissions; and
* secure encryption of all donor credit card and bank account details.
Guide Dogs Tasmania will use mailing houses, consultants and data cleansing agencies. Service providers are only used where a confidentiality agreement is in place that upholds the Australian Privacy Principles to ensure that donor privacy is protected.
The online facility for donations to Guide Dogs Tasmania via the Guide Dogs website is secure and encrypted. Transmissions over the Internet are never 100% secure or error-free. However, Guide Dogs Tasmania and its service providers take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
What happens if we can’t collect your personal information?
If you do not provide us with the personal information described above, some or all of the following may happen:
* we may not be able to provide requested services or products to you, either to the same standard or at all;
* we may not be able to provide you with information about activities, products and services that you may be interested in – including information about campaigns, discounts, sales, events or special promotions; or
* we may be unable to tailor the content of our websites to your preferences and your experience of our websites may not be as enjoyable or useful.
For what purposes do we collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information?
We collect your personal information so that we can provide the best possible quality of supporter and client service. We collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information in relation to the following purposes:
* service provision;
* education, advocacy and public campaigns;
* public complaint and inquiry response and referral;
* fundraising, events, donations and memberships;
* community engagement and communications;
* legacies and bequests;
* retail sales and marketing; and
* ancillary purposes, or as otherwise permitted by law.
In order to continue to provide and improve these services, products and activities to you as a supporter and/or client, we require your personal information, in particular:
to provide news, information, products and services to you and to send communications requested by you;
* to answer enquiries and provide advice about existing and new campaigns, services or products;
* to conduct activities including providing personal information to contractors, service providers or other third parties when necessary;
* for the administrative, marketing (including direct marketing), planning, activity or service development, quality control and research purposes of Guide Dogs Tasmania, its contractors or service providers;
* to update our records and keep your contact details up to date;
* to process and respond to any complaint made by you; and
* to comply with any law, rule, regulation, lawful and binding determination, decision or direction of a regulator, or in co-operation with any governmental authority of any country (or political sub-division of a country).
Your personal information will not be shared or disclosed other than as described in this Privacy Policy.
To whom may we disclose your information?
We may disclose your personal information to:
* our employees, contractors or service providers for the purposes of operation of our supporter and customer services, and to otherwise provide information, products and services to you including, without limitation, web hosting providers, IT systems administrators, mailing houses, couriers, payment processors, data entry service providers, electronic network administrators, debt collectors, and professional advisors such as accountants, solicitors, business advisors and consultants;
Direct marketing materials
We may send you direct marketing communications and information about our products and services that we consider may be of interest to you.
These communications may be sent in various forms, including email, SMS, fax and by post, in accordance with applicable marketing laws, such as the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). If you indicate a preference for a method of communication, we will endeavour to use that method whenever practical to do so.
In addition, at any time you may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by contacting us or by using opt-out facilities provided in the marketing communications, and we will then ensure that your name is removed from our mailing list.
How can you access and correct your personal information?
You may request access to any personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us. You will be required to provide verification of your identity, and we reserve the right to withhold information if we are not satisfied you are the person identified in it.
Once verification is complete, where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will make reasonable efforts to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing or emailing it to you).
There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold. For example, we may need to refuse access in circumstances including but
not limited to, if granting access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals. If we refuse to grant you access, we will give you written reasons for such refusal.
If you believe that personal information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request us to amend it. We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment, then we will provide you with a written notice setting out the reasons for refusal and we will, if requested by you, add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with our decision.
