Privacy Policy

At Deltareef Gumatj we take your privacy seriously. We are guided by the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles which specify how we may collect, use, disclose and store personal information and how individuals may access and correct the personal information we hold about them.

These laws define personal information as information or opinions about an identified individual (or an individual that may be reasonably identifiable). These types of information can include names, contact details and other information about the person, whether true or not and whether recorded in a material form or not.

What personal information do we ask you to share with us?

We collect personal information on your:

name
date of birth and gender
address and other contact details
family and relationships

How do we collect and store your personal information?

We collect your personal information in various ways, including through:

paper-based and electronic forms
databases
emails, phone calls and in person
audio, photographic, and digital recording devices
our website and social media platforms

Delta Reef Gumatj take all reasonable steps to keep your personal information secure, safe and protected from misuse, interference, loss or unauthorised access. Your information is stored on secure computer systems protected by firewalls, secure servers, individual passwords and access protocols. We will store personal information for the period of time we are legally obligated to retain it, and then destroy the information.

Why do we collect your personal information?

We collect your personal information to:

provide you with the right support and services

Delta Reef Gumatj may also collect your personal information to communicate with you, to support our employment and personnel functions, or to manage other contract, grant or committee activity.

How do we use and disclose your personal information?

We will only disclose your personal information for the purposes for which it was given to us, if legally required, or for purposes which are directly related to one of our functions or activities. We may hire third-party providers to deliver services on our behalf, but we will only disclose the personal information they need to deliver the service. Delta Reef Gumatj will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party providers adhere to the same confidentiality and privacy obligations to protect your personal information.

How do we correct your personal information?

You have the right to access and amend your personal information. If you notice a problem, you may request that we correct or update your information by writing to us using the contact details below. From time to time, we may also ask you to verify that the personal information we hold about you is correct and up-to-date.
