All personal information collected by this website is protected by the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth of Australia). Any and all information collected at this website, including application form content and email addresses, will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, re-used, rented, loaned or otherwise disclosed to a third party, except where prior written permission is obtained from the individual who supplied the information and to whom the information refers.

Any personal information provided to the website by site users will be treated with the utmost care, and will not knowingly be used in ways not explicitly consented to by the user who supplied the information and to whom the information refers.

When users visit this website, the website server makes a record of their visit and records the following information: server address, top-level domain name (eg. .com, .gov, .au, .edu etc.), date and time, geographic location and duration of visit, the pages accessed and the documents downloaded, the type of browser and operating system used and the site visited before the NPAFACS website. These records are analysed regularly to improve the website's relevance and value.

The NPAFACS website may maintain email lists to keep users informed about areas of specific interest and will only provide such information to users as they have consented to receive. The NPAFACS website does not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease the addresses on these lists to any third party. Users may ask to be removed from these lists at any time. The NPAFACS website may use a feature of your browser ("cookies") to assign a unique user ID. Cookies by themselves cannot be used to identify you-they only identify your computer to the NPAFACS site server when you visit this website.

Your data may also be available to our website provider to enable us and them to deliver their service to us, carry out analysis and research on demographics, interests and behavior of our users and supporters to help us gain a better understanding of them to enable us to improve our services. This may include connecting data we receive from you on the website to data available from other sources. Your personally identifiable data will only be used where it is necessary for the analysis required, and where your interests for privacy are not deemed to outweigh their legitimate interests in developing new services for us. In the case of this activity the following will apply:

  1. Your data will be made available to our website provider
  2. The data that may be available to them include any of the data we collect as described in this privacy policy.
  3. Our website provider will not transfer your data to any other third party, or transfer your data outside of the EEA.
  4. They will store your data for a maximum of 7 years.
