Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Australian Adaptive Boxing Council (“AABC”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and discloses your personal information. We are committed to managing personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

By using our website or providing your information to us, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in this policy.

We may collect the following types of personal information:

• Your name, email address, phone number, and postal address.
• Information you provide when you contact us, register interest in our programs, volunteer, or make a donation.
• Athlete and membership details relevant to adaptive boxing programs, which may include health or disability information you choose to share with us.
• Technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and how you use our website.

Some information we collect may be “sensitive information” under the Privacy Act (for example, health information). We only collect sensitive information with your consent and where it is reasonably necessary for our activities.

We use your personal information to:

• Respond to your enquiries and provide the services or information you request.
• Administer memberships, programs, events, and competitions.
• Process donations and communicate with supporters, volunteers, and partners.
• Improve our website, programs, and services.
• Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with trusted third parties who help us operate, such as IT and payment service providers, and only where they are required to protect your information. We may also disclose information where required or authorised by law.

Where we use third-party service providers located overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete. To make a request, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before providing access.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience and understand how the site is used. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, although some parts of the site may not function as intended.

If you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles or mishandled your personal information, you can contact us and we will investigate your concern. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page, with the date it was last updated shown above.
