These platforms may allow us to collect information such as age, gender and interests to better understand the users that visit our site and identify how we can improve user experience and interaction.

This feature is based on Display Advertising (for example, Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting or Facebook Insights) and the data collected is used to provide better services and more relevant content to our users.

The Company’s website collects site visit data to better understand general user trends at an aggregate level and improve web performance, web services, and website maintenance.

To the extent that site visit data could make you identifiable, the Company will not attempt to identify individuals from the records the server automatically generates, unless required to do so as part of an internal investigation or for a law enforcement-related purpose, and then, only in compliance with the Privacy Laws as applicable.

The Company may also use site visit information for security audits to protect against threats from hackers, and for other law enforcement and security purposes.

The Company will not disclose any personal information collected as part of your site visit to a third-party without your consent, unless we are required or authorised to do so by law. As part of an investigation into suspected unlawful or improper activity, a law enforcement agency or government agency may exercise its legal authority to inspect the web server’s records (for example, in relation to hacking or abusive messages).

The Company and its employees have a legislative obligation to protect your personal information by taking all reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold is protected from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Specifically, access to systems, applications and the collected data is restricted to authorised personnel only.

In addition, any personal information collected and used to identify user trends (such as IP addresses) is aggregated and made anonymous during report generation.

You may request access to, or correction of, your personal information held by the Company, by contacting Support at support@genubounceprogram.org.au or phoning +61 (3) 7035 0178. If you would like further information about this privacy statement or if you have any concerns regarding personal information you give to us, or that we have collected from others, please contact us.

If a complaint is made, generally Bounce’s procedures, staff or quality of service, assisted with the collection of handling of personal information will be investigated. Bounce will be efficient and fair when investigating and responding to information privacy complaints.

If your complaint is not satisfactorily resolved, you may access an external dispute resolution service or apply to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) to have the complaint heard and determined. When we notify you about our decision, we will explain how you may access an external dispute resolution scheme or make a complaint to the OAIC.

We may occasionally make changes to this Privacy Policy, particularly where there are changes in relevant laws or where we adopt new working practices. We encourage you to regularly review this statement for any updates.

This procedure is to be reviewed every 2 years (or before September 2022) by the General Manager.
