Privacy Policy
The Collective is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits our website or engages with our services in a secure and responsible way. As an AUSPICE of SHARC, we manage personal information in accordance with applicable Australian privacy legislation and SHARC's privacy practices.
We will endeavour to maintain a secure system for storing personal and health information. Technological and operational policies and procedures are in place to protect personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
As required by law, personal and health information will be securely disposed of when it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected.
Please be aware that no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, any information transmitted to us is at your own risk.
We do not collect personal information when you browse this website. However, we may collect personal information that you choose to provide to us, for example through contact forms or email.
When you access this website, a non- identifying record of your visit may be made for statistical purposes.
We do not identify users or their browsing activities except in the event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect server logs.
Some services linked from this website, such as event registrations, are managed through external platforms (for example, Humanitix). These platforms have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.
If you have any questions about this policy or how your information is handled, please contact us at collective@sharc.org.au
