Policy
The Board of Centre for Participation is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information which the organisation collects, holds and administers.
The organisation collects and administers a range of personal information for the purpose of conducting its day to day business.
Centre for Participation recognises the essential right of individuals to have their information administered in ways which they would reasonably expect – protected on one hand and made accessible to them on the other. These privacy values are reflected in and supported by our core values and philosophies and also reflected in this Privacy Policy, which is compliant with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Centre for Participation is bound by laws which impose specific obligations when it comes to handling information. The organisation has adopted the following principles contained as minimum standards in relation to handling personal information.
Centre for Participation will:
- Collect only information which the organisation requires for its primary function.
- Ensure that stakeholders are informed as to why we collect the information and how we administer the information gathered.
- Use and disclose personal information only for our primary functions or a directly related purpose, or for another purpose with the person’s consent.
- Store personal information securely, protecting it from unauthorised access.
- Provide stakeholders with access to their own information, and the right to seek its correction.
