Privacy

Introduction
The Parish of St Hilary’s acknowledges and respects the privacy of individuals. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our congregational members, staff, partners and clients. We support and endorse the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 and will comply with these principles whenever personal information as defined by the Act is collected by us. This policy is consistent with the recommendations of the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne.

Principles

• We will only collect personal information from you with your prior knowledge and consent;
• We will only use personal information provided by you for the purposes for which it was collected;
• We will not disclose your personal information to a third party without your consent;
• We will not disclose your personal information to other institutions and authorities except if required by law or other regulation;
• We will remove personal information from our records when it is no longer required (except where archiving is required);
• We have processes and policies to protect the personal information that we have under our control from:

• unauthorised access;
• improper use;
• alteration;
• unlawful or accidental destruction and accidental loss.
• Counselling Ministry

Shac Community also conducts a counselling ministry under the name of Keriva. Keriva collects personal information from individuals before and during counselling sessions. Some of this information is personal and connected with the client’s health. Accordingly the Act defines this information as Sensitive Information that is specifically covered by NPP10 of the Privacy Act. A copy of this Act can be obtained from the Office of the Federal Privacy Commissioner.
There may be occasions when the personal information collected by counsellors must be shared with third parties. For example where:

• there is danger of harm being caused to the client or others;
• when Keriva is required by law to disclose the information.

At all times Keriva will comply with the requirements of and limitations laid down by the Act.
Keriva will only collect sensitive information with the consent of the individual, for the purposes required by the activities of Keriva in the provision of counselling services or for other purposes allowed or required by the Act.
This information collected by Keriva is kept confidential and secure at all times.
