Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how the 10,000 Toes Campaign manages the personal information it holds.

Our website address is  http://www.10000toes.com  The 10,000 Toes Campaign is a joint campaign of ADRA Australia Limited and Adventist Health, a department of the South Pacific Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

The 10,000 Toes Campaign complies with the requirements of the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles in the collection, management, use and disclosure of personal information.

Personal information is information or an opinion that can be used to identify you. This includes any personal information we collect from you when dealing with you in relation to the 10,000 Toes Campaign.  It may include, but is not limited to, your name, address, contact details including your email address, and any additional information you provide to us directly or indirectly through a website or via a representative.

In accordance with the Privacy Act, the 10,000 Toes Campaign only collects personal information that is reasonably necessary in order for us to undertake the Campaign. We collect your information in order to manage our dealings with you and to give you information about the Campaign. Where possible, the 10,000 Toes Campaign will allow you to remain anonymous or to use a pseudonym when communicating or dealing with us, unless we are required or authorised by an Australian law to ask you to identify yourself, or it is impractical for us to deal with you while you remain anonymous or use a pseudonym.

  • your financial adviser or other third-party appointed by you;
  • our data hosting and IT service providers, who may be located or store data in other countries;
  • as required by law, to government bodies such as the Australian Taxation Office, the Office of the Australian  Information Commissioner and the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC.)

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

Analytics is the discovery, interpretation, and communication of meaningful patterns in data. The 10,000 Toes Campaign may apply analytics to data from our website (including your personal information) to describe, predict and improve Campaign performance.

Who we share your data with

Data collected by this site may be shared with the coordinators of the 10,000 Toes Campaign. They are ADRA Australia and the Adventist Health department of the South Pacific Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Your data will not be shared with any other third party other than as described in this Privacy Policy.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata will be retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Your rights over your data

The 10,000 Toes Campaign will take reasonable steps to ensure the quality of your personal information at two points in the information handling process: (i) collection and (ii) use or disclosure.

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive from us an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we correct, up-date, complete or erase any personal data we hold about you by contacting us (see the ‘Contacting Us’ section below).  We will need to establish the identity of the individual requesting the information prior to providing it. Your right to require us to erase your personal data does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes. There are a number of situations where we may deny an individual access to personal information.  These can include where it would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals, the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings, we have reason to suspect that unlawful activity or misconduct of a serious nature is being or may be engaged in, or where the law requires or authorises such access to be denied.  We will advise you if any of these circumstances apply.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Additional information

We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is secure. We maintain appropriate safeguards to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.  We implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the confidentiality and integrity of your personal information and data that we use and hold.
Where practical, your personal information is de-identified or destroyed when it is no longer required. The security of information transmitted on the internet will require you to take specific measures to protect against unauthorised access or use. These include:

  • ensuring that you do not divulge your password or PIN to anyone;
  • ensuring that your access codes and passwords are kept secure; and
  • notifying us immediately if you believe that your access codes, password or PIN have been compromised.

Data breach procedures we have in place

If the 10,000 Toes Campaign becomes aware of an actual or potential unauthorised access to or disclosure of your personal information, we will manage the unauthorised access in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breach requirements under Part 3C of the Privacy Act. This may include notifying both you and the Privacy Commissioner where that breach is likely to result in serious harm as defined by the Privacy Act.
