About this statement

Privacy laws protect information about you or your “personal information”.

Protecting your personal information is important to us. 

This statement explains how the Centre manages your personal information. 

Collecting personal information

We will only collect information that we need.

Keeping personal information

The University of New South Wales is a partner of the Centre. 

We will say the University for short. 

The University keeps your personal information safe for the Centre. 

Only people who work for the Centre or the University can see your personal information. 

People can only see your personal information if they need to for their work.

People who see your personal information need to follow privacy rules.

The Centre follows the law. 

The law tells the Centre how long to keep your personal information. 
 

Using and sharing personal information

We use your personal information to:

• contact you

Consent

We can ask for your consent to use your information for other reasons. 

Consent means you can say yes or no. 

We will give you a consent form when we ask for your consent.

The consent form will explain why we want to use your information. 

If you say yes, we can use your information for the reasons in the consent form.

You can also say no. 

If you say no, we will not use your information for the reasons in the consent form.

You can change your mind. 

This means you can say yes first and then you can say no. 

If you change your mind, we will stop using your information for the reasons in the consent form. 

Sometimes we have already shared your information with others. 

Nothing else will happen if you say no or change your mind. 

If you change your mind, we will ask others to also stop using your information.

But we cannot control others. 

We cannot control information about you on the internet.
