Daniel Thornton Ministries ? Privacy Policy
Daniel Thornton Ministries
(
DTM)
ABN "coming" and our
related entities appreciate that privacy is very
important. DTM has adopted this Privacy Policy as we
recognise the right of people to keep their personal
information private. This Privacy Policy covers DTM's
treatment of personally identifiable information that we
collect or hold. Like many other organisations, DTM
must comply with the National Privacy Principles contained
in the Australian Privacy Act when dealing with personal
information.
1. The information we collect
DTM will collect general information about you,
such as your name, address, and contact details so DTM can contact you. We may also collect this and other
types of personal information during the course of dealing
with you, for example, when you wish to obtain goods or
services from DTM, when you register for conferences
or events, and when you participate in DTM activities or
complete other forms. The information collected may include
some sensitive information (as defined by the Privacy Act),
such as health information or information about your
beliefs, relevant to the services or assistance you have
requested from DTM.
Where practicable, the purpose for which we collect
personal information will be made clear at the time of
collection. If you do not provide us with certain
information we may be unable to provide you with access to
some of our services or the assistance you have requested.
Users can generally visit DTM website without
revealing who they are or other personal information unless
they log on, place an order or register with us. DTM
will not collect any personal information about visitors to
the website except when they knowingly provide it.
2. How we use your information
DTM will use the personal information we collect
for the purpose disclosed at the time of collection, or
otherwise as set out in this Privacy Policy. We will not use
your personal information for any other purpose without
first seeking your consent, unless authorised or required by
law. Generally we will only use and disclose your personal
information as follows:
(a) to establish and maintain your involvement with DTM, including providing you with newsletters;
(b) to provide the products or services you have requested
from DTM;
(c) to answer your inquiry;
(d) to register you for events, conferences or promotions;
(e) to assist us to make DTM's sites, services and
products more valuable to our community;
(f) for direct promotion of products or services and to keep
you informed of new developments we believe may be of
interest to you. If we contact you in this way without
obtaining your prior consent, we will provide you with the
opportunity to decline any further promotional
communications;
(g) to third parties where we have retained those third
parties to assist us to operate DTM and provide the
products or services you have requested, such as religious
education instructors, catering and event coordinators,
promotions companies, transport providers, health care
providers, website hosts and IT consultants, and our
professional advisers such as consultants, lawyers and
accountants. In some circumstances we may need to disclose
sensitive information about you to third parties as part of
the services you have requested; and
(h) to different parts of DTM to enable the
development and promotion of other products and services and
to improve our general ability to assist Church attendees
and the wider community.
3. Access to your information
You can request access to the personal information that
DTM holds about you by contacting DTM's
Privacy Officer as set out below. We will provide you with
access to your personal information unless we are legally
authorised to refuse your request. We may charge a
reasonable amount for providing access.
If you wish to change personal information that is out of
date or inaccurate at any time please contact us. After
notice from you, we will take reasonable steps to correct
any of your information, which is inaccurate, incomplete or
out of date. If you wish to have your personal information
deleted please let us know and we will delete that
information wherever practicable.
We may refuse your request to access, amend or delete
your personal information in certain circumstances. If we do
refuse your request, we will provide you with a reason for
our decision and, in the case of amendment, we will note
with your personal information that you have disputed its
accuracy.
4. Security
DTM will take reasonable steps to keep secure any
personal information, which we hold, and to keep this
information accurate and up to date. Personal information is
stored in a secure server or secure files.
The Internet is not a secure method of transmitting
information. Accordingly, DTM cannot accept
responsibility for the security of information you send to
or receive from us over the Internet or for any unauthorised
access or use of that information.
5. Changes to this Privacy Policy
DTM may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time by
having the amended version available on our website at
