Privacy Policy

1. Definitions specific to this policy

 

1.1 Personal Information

Xp. LTD ensures the protection of any personal information it receives, as required by the

Privacy Act 1998 (Cth) (Privacy Act). ‘Personal Information’ is defined in the Privacy Act as

 

information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), about an identified individual, 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.

 

Personal information can include paper and electronic records as well as personally held information, knowledge or opinions. It also includes photos, videos or audio recordings where individuals are reasonably identifiable. 

 

On 12 March 2014, the Privacy Act was amended and the new definition of ‘personal information’ is:

 

information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable: a) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.

 

Scope of personal information, as required by state and territory Acts and charters which include:

 

collection of personal information, regardless of when it came into existence, and to the storage, handling, accessing, amendment, management, transfer, use and disclosure of personal information regardless of when it was collected.

 

Personal information in Australia includes information or an opinion, in any form and whether true or not, about an identified (or reasonably identifiable) individual. Personal information might include an individual’s name (which may include up to 5 names legally), telephone number, postal or e-mail address.

 

1.2 Sensitive Information

Where applicable, special provisions apply to the collection of personal information which is sensitive. Sensitive information is a type of personal information and includes information or an opinion about an individual’s race, political opinion, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, criminal record, membership of a trade union or health information. The nature of the ministry of Xp. LTD it is unlikely that we would seek sensitive information.

Xp. LTD generally collects personal information from individuals directly unless otherwise stated in this policy.

 

1.3 Unsolicited personal information

Xp. LTD generally collects personal information only when Xp. LTD specifically requests the information or when Xp. LTD takes active steps to collect that information. However, from time to time, personal information may be volunteered to Xp. LTD without Xp. LTD specifically requesting the information or without Xp. LTD taking active steps to collect the information. Further, Xp. LTD may receive unsolicited personal information when Xp. LTD requests that certain information is provided, and the individual provides more information than requested. 

Where Xp. LTD receives unsolicited personal information, Xp. LTD will determine whether it could lawfully have collected the information had Xp. LTD sought the information.


 

If Xp. LTD determines that it could not lawfully have collected the information, unless Xp. LTD is authorised or required by law to retain the information, then Xp. LTD will take reasonable steps to destroy or to de-identify that information.

 

1.4 Staff/Contractor/Intern/Volunteer personal information

An individual who conducts work for Xp. LTD, whether they receive payment for work or not, and can include volunteers, interns and students on placements hosted by Xp. LTD must all abide by this policy.

 

There is an exemption from the Australian Privacy Principles for ‘employee records’; information that relates to the employment relationship. This exemption does not apply to information about volunteers or contractors or unsuccessful job applicants who apply for employment and whose records and application might be retained. Xp. LTD complies with the Privacy Act by: 

Treating all personal information we handle about volunteers or contractors or job applicants in alignment with the Australian Privacy Principles; 

Endeavouring to apply broad privacy concepts to how we handle employee records; and 

Handling personal information about employees that are not employee records in compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles. 

 

1.5 Personal Information related to minors

The Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles apply equally to personal information about minors. Due to the nature of Xp. LTD’s functions and activities, we collect personal information about minors to enable us to facilitate interactive sessions discussing faith and meaning with minors (such as school aged children and young people). 

 

Due to child safety risks associated with personal information about minors (such as addresses or contact details), Xp. LTD handles personal information about minors with extra care. For example, we ensure all volunteers and employee who work with children as representatives of Xp. LTD – and therefore have access to personal information about minors – have valid Working with Children clearance and undertake child safety training on an ongoing basis. 

 

Further, when collecting photos and video content of minors, we seek consent from parents or guardians – or the child or young person themselves if they are capable of providing consent.

The NDB scheme applies to all agencies and organisations with existing personal information security obligations under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) from 22 February 2018.

 

The NDB scheme introduced an obligation to notify individuals whose personal information is involved in a data breach that is likely to result in harm, particularly serious harm. This notification must include

recommendations about the steps individuals should take in response to the breach. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) must also be notified of eligible data breaches.

 

In the event that someone’s Personal information is lost, stolen or subject to unauthorised access or disclosure, Xp. LTD will adhere to its obligations under the Privacy Act in relation to any required notifications to the Officer of the Australian Information Commissioner, and to those people whose Personal Information has been lost, stolen or subject to unauthorised access or disclosure.

 

Xp. LTD takes data breaches involving an individual’s personal information seriously. The Australian privacy law provides for an individual affected by a data privacy breach to seek compensation from the organisation involved in the breach. The individual may also have claims for the data privacy breach based on breach of contract, negligence and/or contravention of the Australian Consumer Law. Entities can also be fined for serious and repeated privacy breaches.

 

At a minimum, if Xp. LTD uncover a privacy breach, we will:

 

Immediately communicate in writing a full apology to the person/s whose privacy was breached.

Xp. LTD will immediately adopt and implement remedial measures in response to the privacy breach.

Xp. LTD will review its privacy/information handling policies and procedures and conduct training and make necessary changes to ensure information is accurate, complete and up-to-date.

 

Xp. LTD will fulfil all directions of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as a result of a notifiable data breach.

 

3. Procedure Responding to Personal Information Request

 

3.1 Assisting individuals to make a request for personal information

Where an individual (stakeholder, contractor or staff member, volunteer or student on placement) seeks to access their personal information, they should, in the first instance, be supported to understand the process. The individual will be provided with a copy of the Xp. LTD Privacy & Confidentiality brochure and if required will be assisted by an Xp. LTD person, who will explain the process using accessible language.

 

These requests can be made in 3 ways:

The individual asks an Xp. LTD contact to access their information;

An individual makes contact with Xp. LTD directly via the phone or in person which should be referred immediately to the Operations Director;

Through the formal process via an email or writing a letter.

 

3.2 Determining how to respond to a request for personal information

Requests for personal information can only be responded to formally by the Operations Director.

 

Regarding formal requests for personal information:

These requests can take the form of requests from individuals, requests from organisations (e.g. Xp. LTD members), from legal representatives, subpoenas, search warrants;

Where a formal request is made by an individual, an email or letter outlining the request must be sent to the Operations Director and must be complete. Xp. LTD may provide a support person who will be named in an email response if appropriate.

If the request is to be refused, the person will receive advice of the decision and the reasons for this. It is not necessary for the requests for personal information to be notified in writing. A record of a verbal notification must be made in Privacy Register which is part of the Document Control Register.

 

If the request is to be fulfilled:

Xp. LTD will advise the applicant of the decision and a time frame for providing the requested information;

Xp. LTD will provide the information to the applicant by hand, by registered post or by courier. This information will not be provided by email. Where the information is delivered by hand, the applicant’s identity must be confirmed by sighting a photo identification (e.g. driver licence, over 18 card, passport). A diary note must be made confirming that this has occurred and given to the Operations Director for document storage.

The Xp. LTD Privacy & Confidentiality brochure with be provided with the information (to inform of complaint avenues).

 

If, at any time during the process, it is determined that the request is to be referred to the Board for advice or for approval due to the sensitivity of the data, it is the responsibility of the National Director to ensure such approval has been sought.

 

3.3 Subpoenas and Court Orders

Formal information requests by way of an order can include the following:

Subpoenas

Search Warrants (sealed by a court);

Other orders issued usually issued by for example Crime and Misconduct Commission or any other statutory body.

 

All orders or requests must be received only by the National Director of Xp. LTD.

Within three working days, the National Director will acknowledge receipt of the request and provide advice regarding how the request will be managed.

In almost all cases, the National Director will directly manage the response. In doing this, the National Director will be requested to provide an electronic copy of all relevant documents within a specified timeframe. The National Director will not accept any original documents; these must remain securely where they are stored and managed.

The National Director will be fully responsible for the ongoing management of the response, including what information is to be provided and what document review or redaction needs to take place.

Requests will be responded to within the timeframe specified. If this timetable is not able to be met, the National Director will contact the issuing authority and seek an extension.

When the requested documents are ready for release, the National Director will liaise with the Governance Committee (if required) regarding how these documents will be provided:

In all cases, a cover letter will be sent with the information, containing information about the response and who to contact.

The information will be transported to the relevant courthouse or agency in person, or via courier, in paper form.

Details of the request and responses will be recorded via the Privacy Register which is part of the Document Control Register.

 

3.4 Other formal requests for information

Other formal information requests include formal requests from stakeholders, employees/contractors, or other Xp. LTD third-party practitioners or advocates.

All formal requests (excluding orders made by courts or other statutory bodies) must be recorded and requested through the appropriate channel to the Operations Director.

Within three working days, the Operations Director will acknowledge receipt of the request (which may include making contact with the person requesting information directly) and provide advice regarding how the request will be managed.

LTD will be requested to provide an electronic copy of all relevant documents within a specified timeframe. The National Director will not accept any original documents; these must remain securely where they are stored and managed.

The Operations Director will coordinate with others regarding the management of the response.

Requests will be resolved within a reasonable timeframe (generally taken to mean 14 days) and periodic contact with the person formally requesting information will be maintained by the Operations Director.

Regarding the outcome of the request:

If the request is being fulfilled, the individual or organisation will be notified of when this request is expected to be fulfilled, either via email or by telephone;

If the request is being refused, the individual or organisation will be notified of this outcome and the reasons in writing, either by email or letter. This letter will be prepared by the Operations Director and will contain the Privacy & Confidentiality Brochure information and appeal avenues.

If the request is being fulfilled, when the requested documents are ready for release, the Operations Director will direct how these documents will be provided:

In all cases, a cover letter will be sent with the information, containing information about the response and who to contact.

The information will be transported to the individual via registered post or a courier. This information may be provided on a USB or in paper form.
