Privacy Policy


The Jamal Hakim Team is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy and safety. This policy outlines our ongoing obligations to you in respect of how we manage your personal and sensitive information. We handle all personal and sensitive information we receive in line with the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014.

What personal and sensitive information are
Personal information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples of personal information we collect include names, addresses, email addresses and phone and facsimile numbers.
 
Sensitive information is defined in the Privacy Act to include information or opinion about such things as an individual's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or other professional body, criminal record or health information.

Use and collection notice
We collect personal information:
to coordinate with you for volunteer opportunities;
to send an acknowledgement for your donations;
to share updates about our projects and events with you; or
for administrative purposes.
​​
Sensitive information will be used by us only:
for the primary purpose for which it was obtained;
for a secondary purpose that is directly related to the primary purpose; and
with your consent or where required or authorised by law.

When collecting personal information, we will take reasonable steps to advise you:
what information we seek;
why we seek that information;
whether any law requires us to collect the information; and
any consequences of not providing the information.
​​
Personal and sensitive information is obtained in many ways including written and verbal correspondence, by telephone and facsimile, by email, via jamalhakim.com.au and other affiliated sites, and from third parties. We sometimes collect personal information from third parties, but only if:
the person the information is about has consented to or would reasonably expect the Jamal Hakim Team to collect their information this way; or
the information is for functions or activities under the Electoral Act, or authorised by law.

Disclosure
We will only disclose your personal information to members of the Jamal Hakim Team specifically tasked to coordinate with volunteers, send acknowledgements for donations, and share updates about our projects and events. We may also disclose them to government agencies, private sector organisations or anyone else if one of the following applies:
the person the information is about has consented;
the person the information is about would reasonably expect, or has been told that, information of that kind will be shared with those individuals, bodies or agencies;
it will prevent or reduce a serious and imminent threat to somebody’s life or health;
it is reasonably necessary for the enforcement of the criminal law, a financial penalty, or protection of public revenue; or
it is required or authorised by law for another reason.

Data quality and security
We take all reasonable steps to make sure the information we hold is accurate, complete and up to date.
 
We use a range of safeguards, access controls, secure communication methods, and back-up and disaster recovery systems to protect your information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
 
Information we hold is subject to the Public Records Act 1973 and must be disposed of under retention and disposal authorities.

Access and correction
You may access the personal information we hold about you and update and/or correct it, subject to certain exceptions. If you wish to access your personal information, please contact us in writing at [email protected]
 
The Jamal Hakim Team will not charge any fee for your access request. In order to protect your personal information, we may require identification from you before releasing the requested information.

How to make a privacy enquiry or complaint
You can make a privacy enquiry to us in writing or over the phone.
 
To make a complaint about us in relation to privacy, you can email [email protected]. If you are unhappy with our response, contact the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner. They may try to resolve the matter or suggest it is heard at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
Today’s Melbourne sits on the sovereign lands of the Boon Wurrung, Bunurong and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Eastern Kulin nations. We honour their continued custodianship of the lands and waters since time immemorial. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past and present. Narrm always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
