This policy outlines our ongoing obligations to you in respect of how we manage your Personal Information.

We have adopted the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988

(Cth) (the Privacy Act). The NPPs govern the way in which we collect, use, disclose, store,

secure and dispose of your Personal Information.

What is Personal Information and why do we collect it?

Personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples of

Personal Information we collect includes:

• names

• addresses

• email addresses

• phone numbers

• records of financial contributions and

• quantitative and qualitative research data including descriptors of behaviours,

opinions and personal experiences.

This Personal Information is obtained through our website sign up form, third party

crowdfunding platforms, surveys, interviews and correspondence.

We collect your Personal Information for the primary purpose of providing our services to

you. To assist in fulfilling this primary purpose, we collect information for the purpose of

research, that is to understand the trends in gay and bisexual male relationships and dating

behaviours.

We may also use your Personal Information for other secondary purposes closely related to

the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or

disclosure. You may unsubscribe from our mailing/marketing lists at any time by contacting

us in writing.

When we collect Personal Information we will, where appropriate and where possible,

explain to you why we are collecting the information and how we plan to use it.

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.

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

With your consent; or where required or authorised by law.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Your Personal Information will not be published, nor disclosed to any third parties except

with your express consent or where required or authorised by law.

Security of Personal Information

Your Personal Information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse

and loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.

When your Personal Information is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was

obtained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your Personal

Information. However, most of the Personal Information is or will be stored in client files

which will be kept by us for a minimum of 7 years.

Access to your Personal Information

You may access the Personal Information we hold about you and to update and/or correct

it. If you wish to access your Personal Information, please contact us in writing.

Love Guys Cooperative 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.

Maintaining the Quality of your Personal Information

It is important to us that your Personal Information is up to date. We will take reasonable

steps to make sure that your Personal Information is accurate, complete and up-to-date. If

you find that the information we have is not up to date or is inaccurate, please advise us as

soon as practicable so we can update our records and ensure we can continue to provide

quality services to you.
