Privacy Policy

The protection of personal information is important to Aligned Management Pty Ltd (AM).   AM is committed to respecting the right to privacy and the protection of personal information. This document sets out how AM may collect, hold and use personal information. By providing your personal information to AM, you consent to its use, storage and disclosure in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Why does AM collect personal information?

"Personal information" is information or an opinion (including information forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in material form or not, about an individual whose identity is reasonably apparent, or can be reasonably ascertained, from the information or opinion.

AM collects personal information to properly and efficiently carry out its functions, including to provide you requested products and services, and to facilitate the provision of marketing and promotion services that may be of interest to you.

AM uses personal information only for the purposes for which it was provided and for directly related purposes (unless otherwise required by or authorised under law).  We may state a more specific purpose at the point we collect your information.

If you do not provide us with the information that we request, we may not be able to provide you with our products or services.

What personal and sensitive information does AM collect?

Personal Information

Personal information is information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database) from which it is possible to determine someone's identity.

The information collected by AM about a person will vary depending on the circumstances of collection. It may include, but is not limited to, a person's contact details (name, email and/or postal address, phone number), date of birth, place of birth, gender, credit card details, employment history, school or education institution attended, working with children check, parent or guardian contact information, qualifications or communication history with AM.

Sensitive Information

If it is reasonably necessary in the circumstances, AM may also collect sensitive information (which is a type of personal information) such as your medical history (including details of any health conditions or any allergies you may have), nationality/ethnicity or disability backgrounds.

Sensitive information is afforded a higher level of privacy protection than other personal information.  Where you provide sensitive information to AM, you also provide consent to AM collecting it in accordance with this Privacy Policy, unless you tell us otherwise.

How does AM collect personal and sensitive information?

Information may be collected when you:

a)     join or register with AM at an event;

b)    enter personal information into, or agree to having your personal information entered into one of AM's online systems or by completing a form at any AM activation;

c)     subscribe to any publication of AM, including electronic publications;

d)    provide details to AM in an application, consent form, survey, feedback form or incident report;

e)    enter personal information into, or agree to having your personal information entered into, one of AM's online systems;

f)      access the AM website http://www.alignedmanagementcm.com.au/;

g)     contact AM via email, telephone, in person or mail or engage with AM via social media;

h)    participate in any program, activity, competition or event run by AM (which may include participants submitting photos or videos);

i)      purchase merchandise, products or services from AM or an authorised agent or licensee; or

j)      apply for employment or a volunteer position with AM.

Personal information may also be collected where AM is required to do so by law (for education, child protection, work health and safety laws, equal opportunity, charitable collections, medical treatment or other legislation in Australia).

Providing information

Depending on the circumstances, some types of information will be required and others might be optional. If you do not provide some or all of the information requested, this may affect AM's ability to communicate with you or provide the requested products or services.

By not providing requested information, you may jeopardise your ability to participate in programs or competitions or apply for employment or volunteer positions with AM. If it is impracticable for AM to deal with you as a result of you not providing the requested information or consent, AM may refuse to do so.

Collection from third parties

In many circumstances, AM collects information from third parties.

Information storage and protection

AM stores information in different ways, including in paper and electronic form.

Much of the information we collect from and about our clients, participants and from or about people who register their interest in AM is added to AM's database. When your information is entered into AM's database, the information may be combined or linked with other information held about you. 

Security of personal information is important to AM. AM has taken steps to protect the information we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Some of the security measures AM uses include strict confidentiality requirements of our employees, volunteers and service providers, security measures for system access and security measures for our website.
