Website Privacy Policy
Your Personal Information
The Order of Friars Minor of the Province of the Holy Spirit,
Australia [‘the Franciscan Friars"] will collect and
maintain in our database certain personally identifiable information
from you only when you provide it to us on a voluntary basis,
for example, when you make an inquiry, contact us or subscribe
to an occasional publication.
Use of Information
The Franciscan Friars may use your personally identifiable information
to enable mailing, to improve our Website, for providing service
to you and for systems administration.
We may also use your personally identifiable information for
our own marketing or promotional purposes.
We will take reasonable steps to ensure that all information
we collect or use is accurate, complete, up-to-date, stored in
a secure environment and accessed only by authorised persons.
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be
100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information
from misuse, loss or unauthorised access, we cannot guarantee
the security of any information you transmit to us or receive
from our online services. These activities are conducted at your
own risk. As soon as we receive your transmission, we make our
best effort to ensure its security.
We will not share any information about you with third parties,
except as provided by civil Privacy Legislation.
Your Rights
If you do not want your personally identifiable information to
be used for marketing or promotional purposes, you may contact
our Provincial Office by email at office@franciscans.org.au
and ask that you do not receive any promotional mail.
You may always review your personally identifiable information,
and may change, update or correct it as needed. To do this you
should email our Provincial Office at office@franciscans.org.au.
If the Franciscan Friars do not allow you access to your personal
information, we will provide you with the reasons for our decision,
and how to appeal that decision.
Children
The safety of children is very important to us.
We ask that children under the age of 18 have a parent or guardian
verify their contact with us. Whilst we will make every reasonable
effort to ensure that children’s privacy and other rights
are not compromised, it is ultimately the responsibility of parents
to monitor their children’s Internet usage.
Cookies
We may use "cookies" to allow you to use our services
with greater ease and efficiency. Our cookies contain no personally
identifiable information, but are small alphanumeric text files
transferred from our Website to your hard drive to facilitate
access to and use of our site. They may also provide us with aggregate
statistical information about site usage.
Your Consent
By using our www.franciscans.org.au
site, you are consenting to this Privacy Policy. The Franciscan
Friars review this Privacy Policy periodically, and if we ever
change our Privacy Policy, we shall post any changes on this page
so that you are always kept informed of the information we collect,
how we use it and the circumstances under which we disclose it,
if at all.
