| General
statement of handling policies
|
| We
respect your right to privacy and we recognise the trust you
are placing in us through your dealings with us. As such we do
everything we can to maintain that trust. Our staff are
employed on the basis that they will protect information about
you. This is our personal standard.
|
| Under
law your rights to privacy are also protected. The Privacy Act
1988 and general law place strict requirements on us to treat
any information you give us as confidential.The information
you provide remains private and is only used for the purposes
outlined below.
|
| Which
information we collect & why we collect it
|
| Contact
information such as: name; address; phone numbers and e-mail
addresses are used to keep you abreast of any issues or
developments we may think you have an interest in as SEP
members or as participants in a SEP event or initiative.
|
| Financial
information such as: bank account and credit card details are
used to process transactions.
|
| Sometimes
we collect some more personal information about you such as
your interests; your professional profile etc.
|
| This
information is used so we can notify you of any developments
within SEP that may be of specific interest to you. For
instance if you were interested or involved in community
finance and asset building, and someone from the Grameen Bank
were to speak at a function we were hosting, then we would
contact you as a person with a specific interest. This
information is only collected with your full consent and you
may always decline to provide that information to us.
|
| The
information we collect is always treated as strictly
confidential and is never disclosed to a third party without
your prior consent, or unless required by law. We never make
our database available to other organisations.
|
| Opting
out of further correspondence
|
| If you
do not wish to receive any further information on SEP or to be
contacted about our work, you may contact our Executive
Director directly to cancel any further communications - vern@partnerships.org.au
|
| How
this information is held
|
| The
security of your information is important to us. When we have
collected information about you it cannot be seen or modified
by anyone else. We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that
your information is stored securely in both electronic and
physical forms.
|
| Where we
use external contractors, such as a conference organiser, any
personal information disclosed to the contractor remains
confidential to us.
|
| Any
information which we no longer require is destroyed. An
exception to this may be the retention of the information for
data analysis. However if this occurs then the information
will be retained in a form which does not allow you to be
identified from that information.
|
| How
you can access and correct the information held
|
| It is
our policy to give access to our members to the information we
hold on them. This is consistent with our commitment to
transparency.
|
| You may
access your information at any time. If you would like to know
what information we hold about you please contact our
Executive Director, Vern Hughes by emailing vern@partnerships.org.au
|
| If you
discover your information is incorrect, incomplete or out of
date please notify us and we will try to correct or add the
information as soon as possible. If you would like to talk to
our office about this please contact our Executive Director.
|

| If you
believe we have breached your privacy rights in any way, or
you would like to discuss any issues about our privacy policy
please contact our Executive Director. We will try to satisfy
any questions that you have and correct any errors on our
part.
|
| If we do
not answer your concerns to your satisfaction you have the
right to make a complaint to the Privacy Commissioner. The
