Ipswich Woodcrafts Club Inc. (the Club) appreciates the importance of privacy to our members, prospective members and guests. The Club is committed to the provisions of the Privacy Act 1998 and the National Privacy Principles contained therein.
The Clubs privacy policy provides an outline of how and when personal information is collected, stored and disclosed by the Club.
Information collected by the Club
The Club collects personal information from members, prospective members and guests including name, address, date of birth and contact details such as phone number and email address. This information is required under the Corporations Act to allow access to the Club and its facilities. The Club may also collect additional information when a member, prospective member or guest participates in a promotion or Club activity.
The Clubs website can generally be visited without users revealing any personal information. The Club will not collect any personal information from visitors to the website except when information is knowingly provided, for example in submitting an enquiry using the “contact” facility provided on the website.
Where practicable, the purpose for which additional information is collected will be made clear at the time of collection.
Use and disclosure of information
The Club will use the information collected for the purpose disclosed at the time of collection or for other purposes as set out in this Privacy Policy. We will not use your personal information for any other purpose without first seeking consent unless authorised or required by law. Generally information will only be used as follows:

- To provide Club information such as Annual Reports or newsletters
- To provide products or services you have requested from the Club
- To register you for events, promotions or competitions
- In accordance with the Club’s constitution
- As an aid to third parties that provide products or services under contract to the Club – for example insurance purposes.

Security of Information
The Club will take reasonable steps to secure all information held and ensure information is not misused, modified, disclosed to unauthorised parties or accessed by unauthorised persons.
Personal information is held in secure password protected computer software files or on a secure non-electronic printed environment.
The internet and email systems are not secure methods of transmitting information.

Personal details of members who have ceased membership for any reason will be held for a limited period only unless the Management Committee directs that the records be held for a longer period because of specific individual circumstances.
