Achieve Your Dream Foundation Ltd (AYDF) is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals. This policy outlines how we manage personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Definitions

Personal information means information or an opinion relating to an individual that can be used to identify that individual, whether true or not and whether recorded in material form or not.

Sensitive information is a special category of personal information including racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, criminal records, and health or genetic information.

What type of personal information does Achieve Your Dream collect?

The information collected depends on your involvement with AYDF. We may collect information from Dreamer Participants, parents/guardians, donors, contractors, and suppliers. This may include names, contact details, employment info, dates of birth, and bank account details. AYDF only collects information reasonably necessary for its functions. We do not typically allow for anonymity as it hinders our ability to provide services.

How does Achieve Your Dream collect personal information?

Wherever practicable, AYDF collects information directly from the individual via hard copy forms, online applications, email, social media, and face-to-face meetings. Information may also be collected from third parties, such as medical professionals or guardians, with consent.

How will Achieve Your Dream use personal information?

AYDF uses personal information to:

• Deliver our mission of granting life-changing dream experiences for people with disabilities.

• Administer contracts and facilitate donations.

• Inform supporters about news, events, and campaigns.

• Comply with legal obligations.

Direct Marketing and Data Sharing

AYDF may communicate with donors and supporters who have consented to receive information. We do not disclose personal information to others for their marketing purposes unless specific criteria are met, and we always provide an “opt-out” mechanism.

Storage and Security

AYDF takes all reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse or unauthorised access. Data may be stored in paper or electronic form, including Cloud-based storage, using firewalls, password protection, and routine security assessments.

Access and Correction

You may contact our Privacy Officer at info@achieveyourdream.org.au to update or access your personal information. AYDF will handle requests as quickly as possible, though access may be refused in specific legal or safety-related circumstances.
