This policy applies to our activities in fundraising, telemarketing, events we organise and supporter management, and outlines how Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation collects, uses and discloses personal information about our supporters and our contact records. This policy applies to Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation (ACN 128 546 850), here called ACCF and to the contractors which we use for our telemarketing fundraising including Insight Holdings Consolidated Pty Ltd known as Insight CFS.
Reasons for collecting information
Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation is a charity and we work to achieve our functions and aims set out above in the course of which we collect information for the purpose of raising funds, acknowledging that support, expending those funds on projects to help prevent cervical cancer and administrative activities including maintaining supporter purchase and contact records.

We collect most personal information directly from you.

The information we collect is limited to personal information which may include name, age, gender, contact details, areas of interest and payment information.
Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation uses mailing lists to update and maintain information and to contact new supporters. We use reputable telemarketers, mailing list companies, banking services and other suppliers who are also bound by the Privacy Act. The information on those mailing lists remains the property of the company from whom we obtain the list. We do not collect information about health, politics, religion, ethnicity or other information known as sensitive information. If we decide to collect any sensitive information we will expressly disclose to you when we ask for that information, why we request that information and how that information may be used otherwise than anonymously.
How we use information
We use the information to fulfil our purposes. We must request and will retain information regarding all financial or potential supporters and those transactions for charity regulation, taxation, the conduct of raffles according to state legislation and related purposes.
Wherever possible, for example in research work, we use anonymous identifiers. Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation maintains the information for accuracy and completeness. We do this during our contact with you and from external sources.
