Protecting the Privacy of your Personal Information
In complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cwlth), the Privacy Data and Protection Act 2014 (Vic) and the Health Records Act 2001 (Vic), the Greater Shepparton Lighthouse Project (GSLP) has developed an Information Management & Privacy Policy that governs its handling of personal information.
‘Personal information’ is defined in the Policy as information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.
The GSLP Information Management & Privacy Policy essentially governs:
- What personal information is being collected;
- Who is collecting personal information;
- How personal information is used by GSLP;
- To whom and under what circumstances personal information is disclosed; and
- How personal information is stored.
In most circumstances, GSLP will:
- Only collect personal information about you with your consent (unless legally required or authorised to do otherwise);
- Collect your personal information directly from you (where possible and practicable);
- Only collect personal information about you that is necessary and relevant to the functions and/or programs of GSLP;
- Use staff to collect your information who are appropriately trained and have a specific role in the purpose for which your personal information is being collected;
- Only use your personal information for the purpose for which it is collected or for a directly related secondary purpose that you would expect your personal information to be used for (unless legally required or authorised to do otherwise);
- Provide you with access to your personal information (unless legally required or authorised to do otherwise);
- Only disclose your personal information to a third party with your consent, or where you expect such disclosure, or where we are legally required or authorised to do so;
- Take reasonable steps to keep your personal information complete, current and accurate; and
- Take reasonable steps to ensure personal information about you is kept secure.
