Anglican Care ABN 94 273 103 460 (“We”, “us” and “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. We recognise the importance of protecting the privacy of information collected about visitors to our sites, in particular information that is capable of identifying an individual (“personal information”).
This privacy policy outlines how we manage personal information and safeguard privacy pursuant to the Australian Privacy Principles and is reviewed periodically so that you are updated on any changes. As at February 2018 the Privacy Act has been amended and requires businesses covered by the Privacy Act to notify any individuals affected by a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm and to notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). Anglican Care is committed to ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of the personal information we hold. We detail our commitment in the Statement below which communicates how we collect, hold, use, disclose and how care recipients and/or their representatives can access and update their personal information including health information and other sensitive information. In response to the new legislation we have updated our Privacy Statement. Anglican Care takes any accidental or unauthorised disclosure of personal information seriously and will complete an assessment and investigation into all alleged incidents. We are obligated to notify the individuals affected if a data breach of personal information occurs and is likely to result in serious harm. We encourage any individual that suspects our systems have been breached, to contact us as soon as possible.
Your personal information & our openness
Personal information about visitors to our sites is collected only when knowingly and voluntarily submitted. Where possible, we will indicate the purpose for the collection and the use of the information, to whom it may be disclosed and how you can request access to the information. For example, we may need to collect such information to provide you with further services or to answer or forward any requests or enquiries. It is our intention that this policy will protect your personal information from being dealt with in any way that is inconsistent with applicable privacy laws in Australia.
