1. Your rights in relation to privacy

The Push Incorporated (The Push) understands the importance of protecting the privacy of an individual’s personal information.

This policy sets out how The Push aims to protect the privacy of your personal information, your rights in relation to your personal information managed by The Push and the way The Push collects, holds, uses and discloses your personal information.

In handling your personal information, The Push complies with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), the 13 Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act and all relevant Australian privacy laws.

This policy may be updated from time to time.

2. What kinds of personal information does The Push collect?

Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified, or reasonably identifiable, individual. During the provision of its products and/or services, The Push may collect your personal information.

 Generally, the kinds of personal information The Push collects are: 

  1. contact and identification information such as your name, address, date of birth, telephone number, email address or other types of verification details;

  2. where you are acting on behalf of another entity (whether as an employee, director or other representative), details of that entity and your relationship with it;

  3. sensitive information, including information about your gender, location, identity, philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation and/or criminal record;

  4. any information relevant to the recruitment process, including sensitive information, where you are applying for a position with The Push and the information is relevant for your progress, or where you are an employee and the information is relevant to your employment with The Push; and 

  5. any other information required for The Push’s functions and activities.

The Push confirms that although relevant financial information may be collected through verified and secure third parties (eg Paypal, Xero, Stripe, Eventbrite and Zoom), The Push will not collect your financial details (eg bank account details) through these third parties.

In some circumstances The Push may also hold other personal information provided by you.

3. How does The Push collect personal information?

Generally, The Push collects your personal information directly from you, through the completion of a manual or online form via the ticketing platform and donation platforms, an interaction or exchange in person or by way of telephone, email, post or through the use of the The Push website (https://www.thepush.com.au).

Generally, The Push will only collect your personal information from sources other than you if it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect your personal information from you.

4. Why does The Push need your personal information?

The Push collects, holds, uses and discloses your personal information where it is reasonably necessary for the purposes of:

  12. any other legal requirements.

The Push may also use your personal information for purposes related to the above purposes and for which you would reasonably expect The Push to do so in the circumstances, or where you have consented, or the use is otherwise in accordance with law.

Where personal information is used or disclosed, The Push takes steps reasonable in the circumstances to ensure it is relevant to the purpose for which it is to be used or disclosed. You are under no obligation to provide your personal information to The Push. However, without certain information from you, The Push may not be able to provide its products and/or services to you.
