Privacy Policy
Tarwirri is dedicated to keeping your information private. Tarwirri takes its duty to safeguard and manage your personal information seriously.
The Information Privacy Principles in the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic) and the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) bind Tarwirri. Tarwirri's practises for gathering, using, disclosing, and handling personal information are governed by these Acts (Privacy Law). Tarwirri may occasionally sign contracts committing to upholding additional privacy responsibilities. This privacy statement explains how we manage and safeguard your private information, including any sensitive data. It could be necessary for us to evaluate and modify this policy periodically. This policy is subject to modification at any time.
Please remember that this policy should be read in conjunction with any other privacy notices we may provide to you when we collect your personal information, such as our Privacy Collection Notices.
Terminology
In this policy, the expressions ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ refers to Tarwirri. The expressions ‘you’ and ‘your' refer to individuals whose privacy information Tarwirri may handle from time to time.
References to the terms personal information and sensitive information have the meaning used in the applicable Privacy Law. Broadly, personal information is any information about an individual who is identified or whose identity is reasonably ascertainable. It includes sensitive information, which is information about, for example, an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, and criminal record.
What personal data does Tarwirri collect?
Personal data will only be gathered by Tarwirri if it is pertinent and reasonably required for us to carry out our duties. Our efforts are primarily directed at advancing the Treaty process, including increasing public support and involvement. The following categories of information are among the types of personal data we may gather about you:
Your contact information, such as your home address, email address, and phone number; your personal information, such as your name, age, gender, date of birth, and information identifying your race or ethnicity; and any other facts that make you immediately identifiable.
Tarwirri may take pictures as part of its routine tasks, such as at gatherings for community participation. If photos will be taken at an event, you will be made aware of it before it starts and will have the option of declining to have your photo taken.
Sensitive Information
Your sensitive information, which is a subset of personal information, may be gathered by Tarwirri. When we ask you for sensitive information, we will ask for your permission unless the Privacy Law specifies otherwise.
How does the Tarwirri collect your personal information?
We gather personal data in a variety of methods, such as:
when you get in touch with us by phone, email, websites, or another method; and

Typically, Tarwirri will obtain personal data directly from you. However, there are situations when we must obtain data from a third party. Tarwirri will take reasonable steps to tell you or make sure you are aware that it obtains personal information from a third party.
Storage and security of the information
Tarwirri makes a reasonable effort to prevent unauthorised access, improper use, loss, alteration, and disclosure of the personal information we have on file. Both hard copy and digital versions of your personal information are on file with us.
In the event of a data breach, Tarwirri will alert the impacted parties and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if a data breach that is "notifiable" under privacy law occurs.
