SU will collect the personal information only by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonably intrusive way.

Whenever SU collects personal information about an individual, SU will take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual is aware of:

Who SU is;

The fact that he or she is able to gain access to all personal information held about them by SU;

The purpose for which the information is collected;

The consequences for the individual if all or part of the information is not provided.

Any organisations to which SU usually discloses the type of information being sought;

Any laws that require SU to collect the information.

Where possible, SU will collect personal information about an individual only from that individual. If, however, this information is collected from someone else, SU will act reasonably to ensure the individual is or has been made aware of the matters listed above.

The individual has consented to the use or disclosure;

A mailing house has been contracted to pack and despatch SU materials;

SU has reason to suspect that unlawful activity has been, or may be engaged in, and uses or discloses the personal information as a necessary part of its investigation of the matter or in reporting its concerns to relevant persons or authorities;

The type of internet browser used by the visitor;

Address of the site which “referred” the visitor;

Clickstream data.

In addition, the website may use “cookies” to track website usage and statistics. Visitors may set their browsers to refuse cookies, which may limit access to some functions. Tracking will be conducted in such a way to ensure the anonymity of visitors.

The SU Western Australia website may contain links to third party websites. SU Western Australia is not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites.

5.0 Data Security

SU will take reasonable steps to protect the personal information it holds from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. This includes physical security; computer and network security and personnel security.

SU will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if it is no longer needed. In instances where information is archived, SU will take reasonable steps to ensure the security of this information.

6.0 Data Quality

SU will take reasonable steps to make sure that the personal information it collects, uses, or discloses is accurate, complete and up to date and will regularly provide opportunities to individuals to revise and update their personal information.

6.1 Access and Corrections

As a general rule, SU will, on request by an individual, provide him or her with access to his or her personal information. If a person can show that SU holds information that is incorrect, incomplete or out of date, SU will take reasonable steps to correct the information. However, SU may not be required to allow access if, for instance;

Providing access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individual’s;

The request for access is frivolous or vexatious;

The information relates to anticipated or existing legal proceedings and would not be discoverable in those proceedings;

Providing access would reveal the intentions of SU in relation to negotiations with the individual in such a way as to prejudice those negotiations;

Providing access would be unlawful;

Providing access would be likely to prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity;

6.2 Identifiers

SU will not adopt an identifier in respect of personal information that is the same as an identifier used by the Commonwealth Government.

6.2 Anonymity

Wherever it is lawful and practical, SU will allow individuals the option of not identifying themselves when entering into transactions with SU.

7.0 Transborder data flows

SU will only transfer personal information about an individual to a third party who is in a foreign country in specified circumstances. This would include:

Where the individual consents to the transfer;

Where SU has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the information which has been transferred will not be held, used or disclosed by the recipient of the information inconsistently with the NPPs.

8.0 Complaint Handling Process

A complaint by an individual regarding an alleged breach of privacy by SU should be forwarded in writing to the following address:

Privacy Compliance Officer

Scripture Union Western Australia

7 Irvine Street
Bayswater WA 6053

The Privacy Compliance Officer will be made available to investigate and resolve the complaint internally through mediation with the individual.

If the individual is not happy with the resolution of their complaint by the Privacy Compliance Officer, they may then complain to the Privacy Commissioner about the act or practice they consider to be an interference with their privacy. The Commissioner has the power to investigate the alleged breach by examining witnesses, obtaining documents and directing individuals to attend compulsory conferences. The Privacy Commissioner’s determination in such cases is enforceable by the Federal Court.

This Policy is subject to review and may change from time to time.

We are a member of the SU Australia family.
