Unichurch usually collects personal information such as a person's name, age, contact details, occupation and family details to facilitate ministry, but we may also collect other personal information. We use the information we collect for the proper administration of the church. To this end, when personal information is collected by Unichurch it will only be accessed by staff and recognised volunteers for whom the information is relevant.

When we collect sensitive information, as defined in the Privacy Act, we will collect it with the consent of the person when required to do so by law.

We will use a variety of physical and electronic security measures including the use of firewalls and secure databases to keep personal information held on computer systems secure from misuse, loss, unauthorised use or disclosure.

Where appropriate, we will handle personal information relying on the small business exemption in the Privacy Act.

Generally, people can access personal information we hold about them. Unichurch may deny their requests in some circumstances, and will inform them of why this is the case.

A person may access the personal details which Unichurch has collected, or may make a complaint about the way that their personal information has been handled, by contacting the church office.

On all forms where personal information is collected, either the full text of the privacy policy will be included or the following shorter message will be included:

Unichurch respects your privacy and this information will only be used for the purpose of Unichurch's ministry.
