Privacy Statement

PNG Angels Limited is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. We have structured our Web site so that, in general, you can visit PNG Angels on the Web without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information.

Once you choose to provide us personally identifiable information (any information by which you can be identified), you can be assured that it will only be used to support your contact/client relationship with PNG Angels.

This statement regarding the privacy of the personally identifiable information you provide online covers the five foundation principles of fair information: Awareness; Choice; Accuracy & Access; Security; and Oversight.

If you need to contact PNG Angels Limited you may do so via the contact form on our website at pngangels.org.au.

Awareness

PNG Angels provides this Online Privacy Statement to make you aware of our privacy policy, practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and from the bottom of every pngangels.org.au page.

What we collect & how we store it

On some PNG Angels web sites, you can subscribe to different events, submit enquiries, make requests, and register to receive materials. The types of personal information collected at these pages are name, contact and some preference information.

In order to tailor our subsequent communications to you and continuously improve our products and services (including registration), we may also ask you to provide us with information regarding your professional interests, demographics and more detailed contact preferences.

Our electronic newsletters record anonymous data about articles you have expressed interest in. Some pngangels.org.au web pages use cookies, a data analysis technique.

Any personal information collected by us may be stored in the backend of secure website databases (funraisin), secure cloud-based data storage software (Dropbox, OneDrive), secure cloud-based CRM database software (HubSpot) and secure cloud-based financial management software (MYOB).

How we use it

PNG Angels uses your information to better understand your needs and provide you with better service, whether as a visitor of our organisation, contact or client.

From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research or to provide you with marketing information we think would be of particular interest. At a minimum, we will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such direct marketing or market research contact. We will also follow local requirements, such as allowing you to opt in before receiving unsolicited contact, where applicable.

Who we share it with

PNG Angels will not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information to others. Unless we have your permission or are required by law, we will only share the personal data you provide online with other PNG Angels entities and/or business partners who are acting on our behalf for the uses described in “how we use it”. Such PNG Angels entities and/or business partners are governed by our privacy policies with respect to the use of this data and are bound by the appropriate confidentiality agreements.

Choice

PNG Angels will not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without first letting you know and offering you a choice. As previously stated, we will also provide you the opportunity to let us know if you do not wish to receive unsolicited direct marketing materials from us and we will do everything we can to honour such requests.

Your permission is always secured first, should we ever share your information with third parties that are not acting on our behalf and governed by our privacy policy.

Accuracy & Access

PNG Angels strives to keep your personally identifiable information accurate.

We will provide you with access to your information, including making every effort to provide you with online access to your registration data so that you may view, update or correct your information.

To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections. To access your personally identifiable information, return to the web page where you originally entered it and follow the instructions on that web page. To opt-out of PNG Angels contact, provide your name, email and/or address and relevant information about subscriptions or registrations you may have with PNG Angels.

This opt-out will cancel all marketing and support communication and newsletters, including offline subscriptions. Certain areas of PNG Angels Web sites may limit access to specific individuals through the use of passwords and through providing personally data.

Links to third party web sites on the site are provided solely as a convenience to you. If you use these links, you will leave the PNG Angels site. PNG Angels has not reviewed all of these third party sites and does not control and is not responsible for any of these sites, their content or their privacy policy.

Thus, PNG Angels does not endorse or make any representations about them, or any information, software or other products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third party sites linked to this site, you do so at your own risk.

Security

PNG Angels is committed to ensuring the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We use encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data.

How PNG Angels uses cookies

A cookie is a piece of text asking permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. If you agree, then your browser adds the text in a small file. The purpose of a cookie is to help us analyse Web traffic or let us know when you visit a particular site.

Cookies allow a Web application to respond to you as an individual. By gathering and remembering information about your preferences, the Web application can tailor its operation to your needs, likes and dislikes. For example, when you visit an electronic store, a cookie makes it easy to shop by allowing you to drop things into a shopping cart; the cart itself is not the cookie, the cookie is placed on your hard drive and keeps track of your cart versus others’ in use at the same time.

PNG Angels may use traffic log cookies to identify what pages are being used and which ones aren’t. This helps us aggregate and analyse data about Web page traffic and make improvements to pngangels.org.au to better meet our visitor, contact and client needs. In this case, PNG Angels uses this information only for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. That is the case of many of our support and information-sharing pages and forums. Denial of a traffic log cookie should not prevent you from using one of these sites.

Overall, cookies help us give you a better web site to use, by letting us monitor what’s working and what isn’t through site traffic analysis. PNG Angels wants to be sure you understand that accepting a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you, other than the data you chose to share with us. This practice is strictly enforced. We know that a lot of people have concerns about cookies, but in talking with many of our visitors, contacts and clients, we believe that the benefit we both gain from their proper use is worthwhile.

We value the relationships we have with our visitors, users and clients, so we respect these concerns. PNG Angels works to continuously improve the pngangels.org.au Web experience and personal data privacy policy and practices.

You may set your Web browser to notify you of cookie placement requests or decline cookies completely. You can delete the files that contains cookies; those files are stored as part of your Internet browser.

Complaints

If you think your information has been mishandled and wish to lodge a complaint you may do so by sending an email to hello@pngangels.org.au. Please include your name, contact information and a detailed description of your complaint. We will provide a written response within 5 business days and may request further information at this time in order to properly investigate and address the complaint. All complaints will be reviewed by a Charity Director who will provide a final written response to your complaint within 10 business days of your initial lodgement.
