The Summerbell Foundation supports and is bound by the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988.

We take the privacy and confidentiality of your information very seriously. The information provided will only be collected when provided to us on a voluntary basis. We usually collect personal information directly from you. For example; via an expression of interest form, when you send us correspondence by e-mail or in writing, deal with us over the telephone or in-person or through our website.

We provide the users of the website with the confidence that their information will be used only for the purpose it was intended. The user’s email address will not be provided to any third party or added to a mailing list without their consent.

The Foundation only collects personal information (as defined under the Act) that is reasonably necessary for its activities. The types of personal information that we collect will depend on the nature of the interaction between you and The Foundation, and where and how we collect the information.

This means that The Foundation will usually only disclose personal information in connection with its charitable and administrative functions, including when disclosure is necessary to process your donation, send you information, respond to your request, help us with the running of our organisation or for security reasons.

We have tools, systems and procedures designed to protect the information you give us from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

From time to time, we may review and update this policy – for example, to reflect changes to the law, technology or our company. You should check this policy as posted on our website periodically to read about any changes, modifications, or revisions to this policy.
