Personal information

The Act provides that “personal information” means information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.

Procedures

Collection
TTCP will only collect information necessary for the event and primary function of TTCP. Where practicable, the collection of personal information will only occur from interaction with that individual. Personal information may include your name, address, email address, phone number, or IP address.

Use and disclosure
TTCP will only use or disclose information for the primary purpose for which it was collected, such as: (a) to administer our site, (b) for marketing, (c) for recruiting (d) for individual service purposes. We may also use or disclose your personal information following your consent when required by law or if necessary for a corporate transaction (such as a merger or acquisition). For other uses, we will obtain consent from the affected party.

Data quality
TTCP will take reasonable steps to ensure the information we collect is accurate, complete, up-to-date and relevant to the functions we perform.

Data security
TTCP will safeguard the information we collect against misuse, loss, unauthorised access and modification. Reasonable steps will be taken to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information that is no longer needed.

Openness
TTCP will ensure employees have read this policy and make this information freely available.

Access and correction
TTCP will ensure individuals have a right to seek access to information about them and correct it if it is inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or not up-to-date.

Anonymity
TTCP will give stakeholders the option of not identifying themselves when completing evaluation forms and surveys.

Making information available to third parties

TTCP can only release personal information about a person with that person’s expressed permission. The person concerned must sign a release form for personal information to be released and can only release information to a third person where it is requested by the person concerned.

If the information is required to inform members of opportunities or events in line with our organisation’s code of conduct, we may provide a third party with name and address labels only. We are never to provide the information in electronic format.

We will do our best to resolve any complaint as quickly as possible and aim to respond to you within 14 days.
