Privacy Policy

Introduction

Classic Liberals Australia is committed to protecting your privacy.

This Privacy Policy applies to all services offered on our website, classicliberals.org.au, and to any personal information we collect in the course of our activities.

Our obligations

Classic Liberals Australia handles personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

This policy explains what we collect, why, what we do with it, and how you can access or correct it.

What we collect

We collect information you give us voluntarily, including:

  • Name, postal address, email address and telephone number

  • Membership records

  • Records of your correspondence and interactions with us

  • Any information you submit through forms, surveys or petitions on this site

We also collect information about how you use this website through cookies and similar technologies, including pages visited, time spent and referring sources.

Why we collect it

  • To communicate with you about party activities, policy positions, campaigns and events

  • To administer membership

  • To comply with any applicable electoral disclosure obligations

  • To improve this website and our communications

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies to improve your experience of this site, and analytics tools to understand how the site is used — which pages are visited, how long people stay, and where visitors arrive from.

This information is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.

You can set your browser to refuse cookies, though some parts of the site may then not work as intended.

Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We will not disclose it except:

  • With your consent

  • As required or authorised by law

  • To service providers who assist us in operating this website or communicating with you, and who are bound to protect it

Communications and unsubscribing

By giving us your email address or telephone number you consent to receive news, updates and campaign material from Classic Liberals Australia.

Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link.

You may also contact us directly to be removed from our lists.

Payments

We do not currently operate a payment or donation facility through this website, and we do not collect or store payment card details.

When a payment facility is introduced, this policy will be updated to name the payment processor and explain how payment information is handled.

How long we keep it

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes set out above, or for as long as we are required to keep it by law.

Where you unsubscribe or ask to be removed from our lists, we retain only the minimum necessary to ensure we do not contact you again.

Overseas disclosure

Some of the service providers we use to operate this website and send communications may store data outside Australia.

Where that occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure the provider handles your information in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

However, no transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorised access will never occur.

Data breaches

If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in serious harm to any individual whose information we hold, we will notify those individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

Accessing and correcting your information

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct anything that is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete.

Contact us at office@classicliberals.org.au.

We will respond within a reasonable period, and will tell you if we are unable to provide access and why.

Complaints

If you believe we have mishandled your personal information, contact us at office@classicliberals.org.au and we will investigate.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

The current version will always be published on this page.
