Third Parties
If you provide personal information to us about a third party who is an individual, we ask that you to inform the individual concerned of how we will use and disclose the information, and of his or her rights to gain access to and update it, as set out in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information Protection
When personal information is collected either in person or during your visit to one of our websites and subsequently held by NCC, every effort will be made to ensure that the information which NCC stores is secure. NCC will take all reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Some of the ways we do this are:
1. By way of confidentiality requirements for our employees,
2. Document storage security policies,
3. Security measures for systems access, and
4. Only allowing access to personal information where the person seeking access has satisfied the identification requirements for access.
3. Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
The information NCC collects may be used by us for the purposes of processing donations, memberships, issuing receipts, providing you with a volunteer opportunity, or providing you with NCC correspondence (eg appeal letters). Our staff may contact NCC members, donors, volunteers, event attendees and/or merchandise buyers to offer them the opportunity to have closer involvement with campaign areas, regional activities and events or to be part of their campaign information networks.
Personal information provided may also be used by NCC to help us better plan for future work, run a more efficient and effective conservation organisation and provide better information and services to you. This may include research, surveys and statistical analysis.
For direct marketing purposes, we may disclose your personal information to third party service providers who assist with direct mail/email appeals; or assist with fundraising activities via telemarketing; or undertake market analysis and advice on fundraising strategies on behalf of NCC.
From time to time NCC may allow like minded organisations to contact you with information that may be of interest to you. In return, these organisations allow us to contact their supporters so that we can reach more people like you who are concerned about the environment. We will always give you the opportunity to indicate you do not wish for us to share your personal information before we do this. Following is an example of the form this may take:
‘The Nature Conservation Council really values our relationship with you. We recognise the importance of your privacy and the safeguarding of your personal information. We are careful with all your details and will use them to contact you about issues we believe will be important to you. If you do not wish to receive further communications from the Nature Conservation Council please call us on 02 9516 1488 or tick this box.
The Nature Conservation Council respects your privacy. Occasionally we may allow other like minded organisations to contact you. These organisations allow us to do the same and this way we can reach more people with vital information.
If you do take advantage of any offer from a third party organisation, they may send further offers to you directly.
