privacy policy

Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation Privacy Policy, as of 11 July 2016

The Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation (the Foundation) values your privacy. This privacy policy sets out the Foundation’s practices in relation to the collection use, storage and disclosure of personal information.

The Foundation is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act) as well as other applicable laws protecting privacy, including State and Territory health information legislation.

The Foundation may modify or update this privacy policy from time to time by publishing it on this website. The Foundation encourages individuals to check its website periodically to ensure that they are aware of the Foundation’s current Privacy Policy.

The following responsible persons may be treated as being able to act on behalf of a patient within the Child & Adolescent Health Service of WA (CAHS) who is aged 16 or under for the purposes of this privacy policy and the collection, use and disclosure of personal information:

• A guardian, parent, carer or other person responsible for the care of the patient;
• Someone with a general power of attorney or a power of attorney which includes health-related power;
• A person recognised under a law as responsible for any aspect of the care or welfare of the patient which is relevant to something the Foundation does or intends to do.

By providing personal information to the Foundation, you consent to its collection, use and disclosure of that personal information on the terms of this privacy policy and any other contractual or other arrangements that apply between us (if any).

the personal information the foundation collects and why it collects it

The Foundation collects personal information from you that is necessary for it to perform its functions. The types of personal information the Foundation collects, and the purposes of collecting that information, include:

• Donors. When you make a donation, including via this website, in person, over the phone, by direct deposit, via email, by post, or through our fundraising personnel or volunteers as part of any of our fundraising events or activities or at our offices, the Foundation collects and stores in its database your name, phone number, address, email address, date of birth, payment and billing details (including credit card details if relevant), and other contact information. With your consent, this information may include health or other sensitive information, for example the Foundation may ask you if you or your family members have been treated at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children previously. The Foundation will use this information to process your donation, complete your tax receipt, send you further information about the Foundation and for promotional purposes. The Foundation engages third party service providers to process electronic payment of donations, store and manage your personal information and to contact you for fundraising purposes.
• Supporters and volunteers. The Foundation may also collect its supporters’ and volunteers’ names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and other contact information; records of communication between them and the Foundation; and other personal information about its current and potential supporters and volunteers so they (the Foundation) can encourage, record and acknowledge their support and communicate with them about the Foundation and its activities.
• Patients of CAHS and their immediate families.  The Foundation may, with the prior consent of a patient’s guardian or carer, receive or request details about individual patients, such as their name, age, medical condition, medical treatment, and medical history, for media purposes. All patient information received and collected by the Foundation will be treated in the strictest confidence, and will not be made public or distributed to the media without the further prior consent or the consent of a patients’ guardian or carer.
• Grants Program. The Foundation collects grant application and reporting details required to assess funding applications, fund projects, and evaluate outcomes and impact of funded projects. Information collected may include contact details of those involved with grant applications and reports, patient and family details where consent has been provided, finance details associated with the project, and other project-related information. Information collected is stored securely on PCHF’s online grants management portal powered by SmartyGrants, an enterprise of ourcommunity.com.au. For details on ourcommunity.com.au’s privacy policy, please click here.
• Distributing publications. The Foundation collects contact details (which may include name, phone number, address, email address, and other contact information) when individuals interact with it in order to distribute newsletters and other communications in print and electronic form from time to time. Recipients may choose to have their names and addresses removed from the Foundation’s distribution lists by contacting it.
• Conducting events. The Foundation collects contact details, donation history and other personal information, including photographs and videos, about patients and their family members, donors, volunteers and other supporters who wish to join or participate in events it conducts or which are conducted on its behalf by individuals or entities for the purpose of raising funds for the Foundation. This information is used to administer these events, promote and seek support for such events, share stories of the events with the community, for the purpose of raising awareness about its fundraising activities and advancing the general activities of the Foundation. With the prior consent of the relevant person, this information may include health or other sensitive information.
• Assisting with your queries. You may choose to provide the Foundation with your name or other contact details when you call it by phone or write to the Foundation so it can respond to your requests for its newsletter or for other information about the Foundation’s services or operations.
• Conducting our general business activities. The Foundation collects personal information about individuals who are, or are employed by, its suppliers (including service and content providers), contractors and agents for our general business operations.
• Applying for a position (as a volunteer or employee) with the Foundation.  The Foundation may collect your personal information, including name and contact details, information about your working history and relevant records (including criminal and working with children checks) when you apply for a position with it, in order to assess your suitability for that or other positions. With your consent, this information may include information or an opinion about your criminal record or other sensitive information.

Generally, the Foundation collects information directly from the relevant individual. Sometimes, the Foundation may need to collect information about an individual from third parties including parents, carers, guardians or other third party information sources. The Foundation will do this if the individual, or in the case of a patient, their guardian or carer, has consented for it to collect, use or disclose the information in this way, or where it is not reasonable or practical for the Foundation to collect this information directly from the individual.

Provision of your personal details is the most effective method for the Foundation to communicate with you, and to assist in the efficient delivery of services.

how the foundation uses and discloses personal information

The Foundation uses and discloses the personal information it collects to:

• Process payments and communicate with its donors and supporters, including sending them information (which may be by phone, post, email or other electronic means);
• Communicate with donors and supporters, patients and their family members, employees and volunteers (including responding to queries and complaints) and distribute its publications, conduct fundraising events and raise awareness about its fundraising activities and mission;
• Conduct its general business activities, including interacting with contractors and service providers, assessing and funding grant applications, billing and administration including measuring and assessing the level of support we receive and the effectiveness of our fundraising activities and assessing applicants for positions with the Foundation.

The disclosure referred to above may include disclosure to the Foundation’s third parties such as its contractors, service providers, employees and volunteers only to the extent necessary for them to perform their duties to the Foundation.

The Foundation may also disclose personal information of patients to their family members or guardian, for the purpose of discussing stories about their experience with the Princess Margaret Hospital or Perth Children’s Hospital for Children which the patients and/or their guardians/carers have agreed to share via the Foundation’s publications or for other fundraising activities. The Foundation may, with your permission, also send the patient stories to third parties to help promote their fundraising efforts for the Foundation and refer to patient stories in our publications, including on our website.

Any personal information disclosed via the Foundation’s website may include disclosure to recipients who access our website in countries outside Australia.
