Personal identification information

Personal information is any information which identifies an individual and information from which an individual’s identity can be reasonably ascertained. For example, your name, date-of-birth, nationality or heritage, home address and telephone number are personal information.

Personal information also includes "health information", which means information, or an opinion about the health or a disability of an individual, or individual's wishes about the provision of health services.

We may collect personal identification information in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, filling out a form in person or online, when visiting our Site, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site. AUJFC may not be able to provide some or all services to you, unless the organisation is provided with the personal information requested.

All information collected by AUJFC will be used only for the primary purpose intended, i.e. to allow children and young people to register as players for AUJC teams, to understand any medical requirements, gather parent contact information and parent consent.

Personal information collected will be stored confidentially unless disclosure is required by law.

Access to and correction of personal information

AUJFC takes all reasonable steps to ensure that personal information held is accurate and as up-to-date as is possible.

Individuals can request access to the personal information we hold about them and can ask for corrections to be made. AUJFC will always provide access to any personal information we hold about an individual. Individuals are able to contact AUJFC and ask for corrections if it is felt the information held is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date.

There are some circumstances in which AUJFC is not required to give access to an individual’s personal information, for example, where giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals, or access would pose a serious threat to the life, health or safety of any individual, or to public health or safety. If AUJFC refuses to provide access individuals will be provided with an explanation of the reasons, except where it is unreasonable to do so. If AUJFC refuse a request an individual has the right to request that a statement be associated with their personal information noting that they disagree with its accuracy. The organisation will also provide information on how you can complain about the refusal.

Before AUJFC provides access to personal information proof of identity is required. This is to protect the confidentiality of personal information.
