Northern Suburbs Community Garden
Effective Date: 02/04/25
1. Introduction
Everyone at Northern Suburbs Community Garden (“NSCG,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects our members’ right to the privacy of their personal information. We have policies and procedures to ensure that all personal information, no matter how or where it is obtained, is handled sensitively, securely, and in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
2. What Personal Information Do We Collect and Store?
So that we can provide services to you, we may ask for personal details such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address. Some examples of where we may need these details include membership registrations, event participation, and subscription to our mailing list. Privacy law requires us to collect personal information about you only if it is reasonable and practical to do so.
Northern Suburbs Community Garden takes measures to ensure your personal information is protected from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, or alteration. We also take measures to securely destroy personal information when it is no longer required.
You have no obligation to provide any information requested by us. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with the services that depend on the collection of that information.
3. How Is Your Personal Information Used?
The personal information that we ask for is generally used to provide services to you. For example, we may need your contact details to communicate about events, membership renewals, or community updates.
We may also use your personal information in other ways to provide you with better service. This may include using your personal information to advise you of new programs, events, or opportunities if you have subscribed to our mailing list. We do not send information to you other than for the main purpose for which we have collected your personal details.
We do not provide your details to other organizations for any purpose.
4. Access to Your Personal Information
We will provide you with access to any of your personal information we hold (except in the limited circumstances recognized by privacy law).
