1. Access to information rights

Privacy of clients is of utmost importance to the Cancer Council ACT. This includes information or opinions about clients that we collect and record, which could be used to reasonably identify them.

2. Purpose of information collection

The Cancer Council ACT collects only information necessary for day to day operation of Council activities. These activities include provision of information, education, support and retail services and fundraising activities.

Information is collected via standard forms, surveys and online interaction.

3. Who else the information goes to?

There are no circumstances in which your personal or sensitive information is passed onto other parties. There are some circumstances where statistical information is collected via attitudinal surveys. Only statistical information contained in these documents is recorded and may be passed onto bodies that fund our programs.

In these instances information that would identify you is protected by our privacy and security measures and your personal information is destroyed or goes through a process of de-identification. In any case we do not collect information of a sensitive nature without your prior informed consent.
