Your privacy is important to us

Alliance Française Central Queensland (AFCQ) is bound by the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and complies with the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012.

Personal information we collect

We collect only the personal information necessary to carry out our activities. This may include names, contact details, enrolment or membership information, and other information required for administration and communication.

Sensitive information (such as health information) is collected only where lawful, necessary and with consent, or as otherwise permitted by law.

How information is used

Personal information is used only for the purpose for which it was collected, or for a related purpose you would reasonably expect, such as providing services, managing enrolments and memberships, and communicating about AFCQ activities.
You may opt out of communications at any time.

Online systems and technical information

When you interact with AFCQ online, our systems may automatically collect technical information such as IP address, device or browser type, and login or usage activity.
This information is used for system administration, security and service improvement purposes.

Disclosure of information

AFCQ does not disclose personal information unless:

• you have consented;
• it is required or authorised by law; or
• it is necessary to prevent a serious threat to life, health or safety.

Personal information is not disclosed overseas unless appropriate privacy protections are in place.

Storage, security and retention

AFCQ takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access or disclosure, and to ensure it is accurate and up to date.
Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary and is securely destroyed or de‑identified when no longer required.

Access and correction

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and request correction if it is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. Access may be limited in certain circumstances permitted by law.

Updates to this policy

AFCQ may review and update this Privacy Policy and Procedure from time to time to reflect changes in the law, technology, and our operations, and to ensure it remains appropriate in a changing legal environment.
