| This is the Privacy Policy standard to be achieved, or exceeded, by all Office Bearers of the SBITPA and for others providing services to or on behalf of the SBITPA. Protecting personal information is important to the SBITPA and personal information will be held in strictest confidence. Personal information will only be used for the purposes it was collected or in any way that the provider gives SBITPA permission to use it.
Collection
“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.
The SBITPA collects personal information for the purpose of providing members with a comprehensive range of membership services. When collecting personal information by whatever means the SBITPA will ensure that appropriate notices are given and consents obtained in accordance with the National Privacy Principles.
Disclosure of personal information
Personal information provided to SBITPA will not be disclosed to other organisations or individuals without the provider's express permission or when obliged to provide such information by lawful authority.
The SBITPA will from time to time enter into contractual agreements with other organisations to provide services/benefits to SBITPA members. On occasion, personal information on SBITPA members will be released to those contracted organisations for the purposes that the contract was entered into. Members will be given the opportunity of opting out of receiving communications from these organisations when applying for membership and when renewing membership, or at any time by contacting the SBITPA.
SBITPA will never sell, trade, lease or rent any personally identifiable information to other companies except as stated and agreed when collecting information from members or other persons. The SBITPA reserves the right to communicate with members about the essential affairs of the Association.
Security of personal information
SBITPA will maintain all personal information in controlled environments that are secured against unauthorised access.
