GCCN will only collect personal information which is necessary for performance and functions of the GCCN. In accordance with the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014, we will not use your personal information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was collected or disclose your personal information to a third party, including state bodies or authorities (without your consent), except where the secondary purpose is reasonably expected, required by other regulation, or if the release is authorised by law.

Non-consensual release of personal information may be authorised by law or disclosure may be necessary to lessen/prevent serious threats to public health, public safety or public welfare.

Exceptions to this may include:

Contracted Service Providers who undertake duties upon GCCNs behalf;
Market Research Companies who undertake a GCCN Customer Survey;

We have implemented information systems and security policies and procedures to protect and ensure responsible collection, storage, handling and disclosure of the personal information that we have under our control.

We will endeavour to ensure personal information is accurate, complete and up to date and remove personal information from our system where it is no longer needed (except where archiving retention is required).

We may modify or expand this Privacy Policy over time, by posting the amended version on this website. Should you have any queries please contact the GCCN on 1800 839 007 or email enquiries@gccn.org.au
