The Mary Potter Foundation is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012.
Any personal information given by you will be used by The Mary Potter Foundation for the purpose for which it was given to us, related purposes where you would reasonably expect us to use it, for our own internal and marketing purposes, or otherwise with your consent.
We may use your information to send you details about our organisation and our fundraising activities. We assure you that we will only use your information to support your ongoing relationship with The Mary Potter Foundation.
All reasonable steps will be taken by us to ensure that any information collected or used is accurate, complete and up-to-date, protected from misuse, and will be accessed only by authorised people for permitted purposes.
Our Privacy Policy.
Your information and how we use it.
We collect your personal information in a variety of ways including when you interact with us by making donations by mail, online or in conversation in person or on the phone, attend our events or that which is in the public domain. We also collect personal information for patients who have been in the care of Mary Potter Hospice and Calvary's Palliative Home Care Service.
The types of information we might collect may include but is not limited to, your name, address, telephone numbers, email address and relationship to someone who has experienced the palliative services of Calvary Hospitals.
We do not collect personal information from visitors to our website other than that which is supplied on a voluntary basis such as when you make a donation, register for an event or sign up for our newsletter.
We use your personal information to process your donations and provide receipts, to request your ongoing support, to provide updates on how you are helping us to achieve our objectives, to invite you to participate in appropriate memorial events or acknowledge the anniversary of the death of your loved one.
In the case of online financial transactions, we process standard credit card information through secure payment cared gateways including, but not limited to Secure Pay, Stripe and PayPal. All gateways encrypt your personal information. We do maintain records of all financial transactions but we do not store credit card details once your donation has been processed. All other data we collect is stored on our databases (Blackbaud product – Raisers Edge, Mailchimp, Funraisin and Trybooking) or in documents on a secure server. Data storage facilities may be located in Australia or overseas.
How you can access and change your personal information
You may request access to any personal information we hold about you by contacting us (see details below).
Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing or emailing it to you).
There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold. For example, we may need to refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others or it would result in a breach of confidentiality. If that happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal.
You can contact us at any time if you need to change your personal information. This also includes if you wish to change the way we contact you or wish us to stop all contact and we will do all that we can to honour your request.
