Collection, use and disclosure of personal information

We may collect, use and disclose your personal information to operate our organisation and perform our functions including:

• seeking, facilitating and recording your participation in our projects and work;
• responding to your comments or questions and providing information about us;
• managing our relationship with you and any other person or organisation you represent;
• assessing any application made by you to become a volunteer, contractor or employee;
• training, working with and managing our volunteers, contractors and employees;
• administration including record-keeping, research, internal reviews, analysis and production of consolidated statistics; and
• for supporters (including donors, sponsors, corporate partners and participating restaurants) who provide their personal information:
  
  • processing and recording donations;
    providing receipts;
  • communicating with you in relation to support you have offered;
  • administering our campaigns; and
  • unless you request otherwise, publicising and informing beneficiaries about your support and participation.

In special circumstances, we may also use and disclose your personal information for purposes relating to law enforcement and investigations, protecting our lawful interests and transferring our operations to another entity.
We may not be able to do these things without your personal information. For example, we may not be able to contact you, issue receipts or offer employment to you.

If you request it, we also can provide you ongoing information about Bresnahan Footprint Foundation Ltd and ways you can help. You can contact us to change your details or unsubscribe at any time.

Many of our tasks are performed with the assistance of our contractors and volunteers, and we may share personal information with them. We may also provide your personal information to our service providers who assist us with archival, auditing, accounting, customer contact, legal, business consulting, banking, payment, fundraising, delivery, data processing, website or technology services. Bresnahan Footprint Foundation Ltd will only otherwise provide your personal information to third parties with your consent or where required or authorised by law.

Some of the third parties described above may be located in other countries such as the United States and you agree that while they will often be subject to confidentiality or privacy obligations, they may not always follow the particular requirements of Australian privacy laws.
