Privacy Policy

Introduction
This privacy policy has been developed by the Oakbank Racing Club Inc as a body corporate established under the Racing Act 1976, in order to demonstrate its commitment to ensuring your privacy is protected. Being a major part of the Racing Industry in this State we recognise the importance of safeguarding your personal and sensitive information from misuse and disclosure, we think it is important that you know how we treat your information. This Privacy Policy explains how we manage the personal information we collect, use, disclose and how to contact us if you have any further queries about our management of your personal information. This Privacy Policy does not cover personal information collected or held by us about our employees.

Background
From 21 December, 2001, we are required by the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 (Amendment Act to comply with ten National Privacy Principles (NPPs) (subject to other provisions of the Act). The NPPs regulate the manner in which personal information is handled throughout its life cycle, from collection to use and disclosure, storage, accessibility and disposal.
Personal Information is information or an opinion, in any form and whether true or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent or can be reasonably ascertained from the information or opinion. Special provisions apply to the collection of personal information, which is sensitive information. This includes information about a person's health, race, ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of political, professional or trade associations, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual preferences and criminal history.

Collection
We will only collect personal information about you, which is necessary for one or more of our functions and activities. We will not collect information that we do not need. We will only collect personal information by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonably intrusive manner. When we collect personal information directly from you, we will take reasonable steps at or before the time of collection to ensure that you are aware of certain key matters, such as the purposes for which we are collecting the information, the organisations, or types of organisations, to which we would normally disclose information of that kind, the fact that you are able to access the information and how to contact us.

Anonymity
In accordance with the spirit of the Amendment Act we will generally provide you with the option of not identifying yourself when you enter transactions, which are lawful and practicable to do so. However, we will not always be able to do this, for example, The Club requires personal information relative to applications for mailing subscription and/or renewal notices when they fall due as identification.

Use of Commonwealth Government Identifiers
We will not use Commonwealth Government Identifiers, such as Medicare numbers, as its own identifiers of individuals. We will only use or disclose Identifiers in circumstances permitted by the Amendment Act.

What We Do On-Line To Protect Information
If you decide to utilise our Website to complete and submit an on-line form, the information you enter into the form will be encrypted and collected by us. Security and encryption technologies are constantly under review. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Although we strive to protect such information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us from our on-line products or services and you do so at your own risk. Upon receipt of your transmission, we take reasonable steps to preserve the security of the information in our systems.

Use and Disclosure
We use the information you provide to enable us to process your application and/or renewal. We will not use or disclose your personal information except for any purpose, which you would reasonably expect us to.

On occasions, we use a third party such as a mailing house to provide a service to us. We will only use contractors who agree to adhere to the National Privacy Principles. Where it is possible, we will use appropriate security measures to ensure that contractors deal with the information in accordance with any agreements.

We might also release information to organisations including Thoroughbred Racing SA Ltd (TRSA). We seek guarantees from those organisations that they will adhere to the National Privacy Principles and that the information will not be used other than for the purpose it had been requested. Members may opt out of receiving information from these organisations by advising the Oakbank Racing Club Privacy Officer.

Under no circumstances will information be sold to external agencies for marketing purposes.

Where required by law, we provide information to Federal and State Government bodies including Australian Taxation Office. We respond to subpoenas, warrants, court orders or legal processes.

We may disclose information to our legal representatives.

Access Rights
At any time, you can request access to the information that we hold about you. In certain circumstances a reasonable fee may be imposed. We will allow you access and you can correct it or explain something about which you disagree. We may refuse to disclose information if it would impact on another person's privacy, however, we would only do so in situations where we were unable to de-identify that person.

We may deny access to your information if it would compromise legal, investigative and law enforcement activities, as part of an inquiry of suspected unlawful activity or safety concerns. Access to corporate and/or commercially sensitive decision-making processes will be denied, however, we will explain to you the reason for the decision. Access may be denied if the request is frivolous or vexatious. If access is denied on any grounds we may, if requested, agree to the appointment of a mutually agreed intermediary who would be able to meet the needs of both parties.

If you wish to have access to your personal information a written request may be sent to our Privacy Officer. We will respond to your request within 14 days. However, if there are any exceptional circumstances your request may take up to 30 days. We will inform if there is a delay. Identification will be requested prior to any documentation or information being accessed for security reasons.

General Security
The personal information we collect is stored by us in paper form and electronically. We have physical security methods in place to ensure that only authorised personnel have access to our building and limited access is granted to our office storage areas.

System security measures are in place to prevent unauthorised access to our system. This is constantly under review by our Information Technology Officers. We have taken all reasonable steps to protect personal information we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if it is no longer needed for any purpose that is permitted by the Amendment Act. However, some information is required to be kept by the law and the Rules of Racing.

Data Quality
We will take reasonable steps to make sure that the personal information we collect use or disclose is accurate, complete and up to date. However, the accuracy of that information depends to a large extent on the information you provide. That's why it is important that you let us know if there are any errors in your personal information, and keep us up to date with changes to personal information.

Complaint Handling
We have a complaints procedure in place to investigate privacy complaints in a timely manner. If you believe that your privacy has been breached or if you have any concerns about the manner in which your personal information has been collected or handled by us, you can contact our Privacy Officer.
