This Privacy Policy provides information on how Christian Ministry Advancement Ltd. (CMA) manages personal information collected; including personal information collected through their websites at www.cma.net.au and www.cmasc.net.au
CMA realises the importance of ensuring that personal information held by the company is treated confidentially and is committed to ensuring that all personal information is only collected, disclosed, used and stored in accordance with the National Privacy Principles set out under the federal Privacy Act 1988.
What is Personal Information?
‘Personal Information’ is information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database) whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.
Collecting personal information:
The type of information that we collect and hold about you will depend on the nature of your involvement with us. Generally, the personal information we collect includes (but is not limited to) your name, address, email address, phone number, gender, and the role you hold in the organisation you serve. We generally collect this information from details you provide when you register for an event, sign up for a membership, or purchase products / services from CMA. Because CMA serves primarily in the faith sector, we may also record the ministry, church or denomination you are affiliated with.
Use and disclosure of personal information
Any personal information that we collect will only be used and disclosed for the purpose for which it has been provided to us.
Personal information may need to be disclosed to external service providers engaged by CMA in order for those service providers to fulfill their service obligations to the firm. For example: IT service providers who assist in managing CMA’s servers and networks may need to access client data in order to maintain the servers and networks.
Where personal information is disclosed to an external party, CMA will take steps to ensure that the external party treats such information confidentially and in accordance with the federal Privacy Act 1988.
