Collection, use and disclosure of personal data

Collection
Injury Prevention 2009 will only collect personal information that is necessary for it to perform its functions and activities. For example, Injury Prevention 2009 may collect contact details to enable you to use or access a service provided by Injury Prevention 2009, to resolve any queries you may have, or to enable you to pay an account by credit card, or a host of other inquiries.

In most cases, Injury Prevention 2009 will collect personal information directly from you. That could occur when you deal with us over the telephone, send us correspondence (by letter, e-mail or fax), or when information is voluntarily submitted through our web site. The information may include your name, home or work address and telephone number, and e-mail address. It may also include in some situations sensitive information such as membership of a professional or trade association.

Use and Disclosure
The primary purpose of collecting personal information is to enable Injury Prevention 2009 to carry out its functions. Personal information will be used for that purpose, and in other cases where consent has been given.

Your personal information may be disclosed to our contractors (third party service providers) where an outsourced function so requires. Personal information may be disclosed to those service providers but only so that they can provide the services that Injury Prevention 2009 has contracted out to them. Those contractors are required to be bound by the information privacy principles in the same way and to the same extent as Injury Prevention 2009 is bound.

Injury Prevention 2009 may otherwise use or disclose your personal information where required or authorised by law, which may include emergency situations and assisting law enforcement agencies.

We may also use your personal information to provide you with information about other services or activities offered or available through Injury Prevention 2009. If you would prefer not to receive this information, please let us know and we will respect your request.

Protection of personal information
Injury Prevention 2009 will take reasonable steps to: protect the personal information it holds from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure; and destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if it is no longer needed for any purpose.

Where is it lawful and practicable, you will have the option of not identifying yourself when entering transactions with Injury Prevention 2009. Injury Prevention 2009 will only transfer personal information about you to an organisation or individual outside Victoria if that transfer is lawful under the Act.

Your personal information will be used and disclosed as required to enable us to provide you with a service you have requested, or otherwise to enable us to carry out our functions.
