All files are retained in the Provincial Administration Office in a secure manner with access restricted.
- Records will adhere to the principles of good record keeping, including:
- a) ensuring records are accurate and complete and adequately detail all incidents, complaints, responses and decisions;
- b) records are created at the time of, or as soon as practicable following, an incident, complaint, response or decision;
- c) records are titled, organised and filed logically;
- d) a master copy of each record is formally maintained to ensure duplicate records or multiple copies of the same record are kept to a minimum;
- e) sharing or distribution of information and/or records is restricted to nominated personnel and is conducted in accordance with relevant legislative and statutory requirements; and

FUNDRAISING PRIVACY POLICY
We will ensure:
26.1 When collecting personal information from donors, volunteers, clients and others, and intending to use that information for fundraising purposes, we notify them about that from our initial contact.
264.2 If we have not notified a person that their personal information might be used for fundraising purposes, we do not use it for those purposes unless:
- we first obtain consent, or
- an exception applies (for example, for non-sensitive personal information, that the fundraising purpose is related to the primary purpose and the person would reasonably expect you to use the information in that way).
26.3 if we share your donor lists with other organisations, we will ensure the person(s) are advised prior or upon initial contact.
26.4 We will always offer donors who support fundraising campaigns a choice about receiving information on non-fundraising activities or new campaigns at the start, and provide an opt out option in all fundraising communications.
We will allow staff access to client information on a ‘need to know’ basis. For example, ensure that those involved in soliciting donor memberships do not have routine access to personal information that may be kept on client databases, and have checks and balances in place to protect the security of personal information.
It is also important to familiarise with the fundraising laws applicable in each state and territory where your not-for-profit organisation is conducting fundraising activities.
COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
- The process allows an individual to:
- Apply first to the Privacy Officer who will deal with the complaint;
- Appeal the matter to the Privacy Committee of the Province, and finally to the Privacy Commissioner.
CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY
- The Provincial and Council may make changes as may be necessary to this Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes will be publicised to the Province.

OSA collects personal information for the purposes of OSA’s functions and activities. It collects personal information about staff, members of the province, financial donors and other individuals who have dealings with OSA for administrative need, to conduct its business, for legislative compliance or for research purposes.
The information may include residence and contact details, date of birth, details of next of kin, identifying information, including photographs, records of injuries, criminal checks, qualifications and financial information.
Some of the personal information that OSA collects and holds is sensitive information. OSA only collects sensitive information where it is necessary for the purpose for which it is being collected and with the individual’s consent unless the collection is required or authorised by law.
5.2 How OSA collects and holds personal information
OSA collects and holds information from a number of sources. Where reasonably possible, OSA will only collect information from the individual to whom it relates. Frequently this will be collected through official OSA administrative processes but it may also be collected from email, letters or other forms of communication.
OSA also holds personal information about individuals that it generates in the course of its operational activities, such as fundraising activities, newsletter subscribers, financial donors and friends of the Order of St Augustine.
Personal information is held in both paper and electronic form, including databases.
When an individual visits the OSA website, log files (“cookies”) are created by the web server that contain certain information including the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the visitor, the previous site visited, the time and date of access and pages visited and downloaded. Cookies allow a website, such as the OSA website, to temporarily store information on an individual’s machine for later use. OSA’s website uses cookies to identify unique visitors to the site.
In order to improve OSA’s services and assist the user, OSA may store information about users of its website to create a digital profile and provide them with information specific to them.
OSA also uses Web Analytics to obtain statistics about how its website is accessed. Web Analytics relies upon cookies to gather information for the purpose of providing statistical reports to OSA. The information generated by the cookie about an individual’s use of the OSA website is transmitted to and stored by Web Analytic service providers on servers located within and outside Australia, but it does not include any personally identifying information.
Individual users generally have the option of accepting or rejecting cookies by adjusting the settings in their web browsers. However, rejecting cookies may impact upon the functionality of the OSA website.
The OSA website may contain links to other websites. OSA cannot control the privacy controls of third party websites. Third party sites are not subject to OSA’s Privacy Policy or Procedures.
5.3 Notification of collection of personal information
When OSA collects personal information it will advise the individual why it is collecting that information and how it uses it, whether the collection of the information is required or authorised by law and the consequences for the individual if the personal information is not collected. It will also provide information about OSA’s Privacy Policy and about the right of individuals to access and correct personal information. If OSA collects personal information in circumstances where the individual may not be aware of the collection it will seek to advise the individual of the collection.
5.4 The purposes for which OSA collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information
OSA collects and uses personal information for a variety of different purposes relating to its functions and activities including:
- Fundraising activities
- Newsletter generation and distribution
- Community engagement
- Government reporting
- Commercial application of its intellectual property and professional expertise
- Undertaking staff and student recruitment activities
- Undertaking research
- Handling complaints
- Conducting its business and improving the way in which it conducts its business
- Purposes directly related to the above.
5.5 Use or disclosure for secondary purposes
OSA does not use or disclose personal information for purposes other than the purpose for which it was collected (the primary purpose) unless:
5.5.1 the individual has consented to a secondary use or disclosure, or
5.5.2 the secondary use or disclosure is related to the primary purpose (in the case of personal information that is not sensitive information) or is directly related to the primary purpose (in the case of sensitive information), or
5.5.3 it is otherwise required or authorised by or under an Australian law or a court/tribunal order, or
5.5.4 a permitted general situation exists (as described in clause 9 of this policy), or
5.5.5 OSA reasonably believes that it is necessary for one or more enforcement related activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body.
In ordinary circumstances, any disclosure of personal information for a secondary purpose under scenarios 5.5.3, 5.5.4 and 5.5.5 must be approved by the Privacy Officer.
5.6 Security
OSA applies both physical and information and communications technology (ICT) security systems to protect personal information.
In relation to electronic records, personal information is collected via OSA’s systems including web-based systems. OSA has put in place measures to protect against loss, misuse and alteration of electronic information. Where necessary, OSA also uses encryption technology to protect certain information and transactions.
5.7 Remaining anonymous or using a pseudonym
OSA understands that anonymity is an important aspect of privacy and that in some circumstances some people may prefer to use a pseudonym when dealing with OSA. People have the right to remain anonymous or to use a pseudonym when dealing with OSA.
5.8 Unsolicited personal information
When OSA receives unsolicited personal information it will assess whether it is personal information that it could legally collect. If it is, it will treat it according to the APPs. If it is not, it will, if lawful to do so, destroy or de-identify it as soon as practicable.
5.9 Direct marketing
OSA will only use personal information for direct marketing with the individual’s consent or when authorised by law.
5.10 Destruction of information that does not need to be retained
When OSA no longer needs to retain personal information, and is lawfully able to do so, it will destroy or de-identify that information.(Please also refer to ‘General Privacy Policy’ no 24).
5.11 How an individual may access personal information about the individual that is held by OSA
Subject to clause 4.2, anyone has a right under the Act to access personal information that OSA holds about them. Access to personal information is governed by the Access to and Correction of Personal Information Procedure.
5.12 How an individual may seek the correction of personal information about the individual that is held by OSA
Subject to clause 4.2, anyone has a right under the Act to request corrections to any personal information that OSA holds about them if they think that the information is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. Correction of personal information is governed by the Access Procedure.
5.13 How an individual may complain about a breach of the Australian Privacy Principles by OSA
Subject to clause 4.2, anyone may complain about a breach of an APP by OSA. Complaints should be made in to the Prior Provincial or Province Secretary via mail, PO Box 7278 Warringah Mall, Brookvale 2100, via phone, 02 9938 0200 or via email, osaadmin@bigpond.com.
5.14 How OSA will deal with complaints about breaches of the Australian Privacy Principles
OSA will deal with complaints about breaches of the APPs in accordance with the suggested complaints procedures by the Act.
5.15 How OSA will manage an actual or suspected data breach under this policy

- provide services
- for purposes of research to improve its operations and services
- promote its activities
- if permitted or required by law, or

Order of St Augustine Notifiable Data Breach Policy (NDB)
1. Policy
This Procedure is governed by the Order of St Augustine (OSA) Privacy Policy.
2. Introduction
OSA is committed to managing personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Act) and the OSA Privacy Policy.
This document sets out the processes to be followed by OSA staff in the event that OSA experiences a data breach or suspects that a data breach has occurred. A data breach involves the loss of, unauthorised access to, or unauthorised disclosure of, personal information.
The Privacy Amendment (Notifiable Data Breaches) Act 2017 (NDB Act) established a Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme requiring organisations covered by the Act to notify any individuals likely to be at risk of serious harm by a data breach. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) must also be notified.
Accordingly, OSA needs to be prepared to act quickly in the event of a data breach (or suspected breach) and determine whether it is likely to result in serious harm and whether it constitutes an NDB.
Adherence to this Procedure and Response Plan will ensure that OSA can contain, assess and respond to data breaches expeditiously and mitigate potential harm to the person(s) affected.
This Procedure and Response Plan has been created based on the following guides:
- The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner’s “Guide to developing a data breach response plan”
- The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner’s “Data breach notification guide: a guide to handling personal information security breaches”
- NDB Act of 2018
- The Act and Australian Privacy Principles (Schedule 1 of the Act)
This document should be read in conjunction with OSA’s Privacy Policy.
3. Process where a breach occurs or is suspected
3.1 Alert
Where a privacy data breach is known to have occurred (or is suspected) any member of OSA staff who becomes aware of this must, within 24 hours, alert a Member of the Province Administration in the first instance.
The Information that should be provided (if known) at this point includes:
- When the breach occurred (time and date)
- Where the breach occurred (location, device being used)
- Description of the breach (type of personal information involved)
- Cause of the breach (if known) otherwise how it was discovered
- Which system(s) if any are affected?
- Whether corrective action has occurred to remedy the breach (or suspected breach)
3.2 Assess and determine the potential impact
Once notified of the information above, the Member of the Province Administration must consider whether a privacy data breach has (or is likely to have) occurred and make a preliminary judgement as to its severity. The Privacy Coordinator should be contacted for advice.
3.2.1 Criteria for determining whether a privacy data breach has occurred
- Is personal information involved?
- Is the personal information of a sensitive nature?
- Has there been unauthorised access to personal information, or unauthorised disclosure of personal information, or loss of personal information in circumstances where access to the information is likely to occur?
For the purposes of this assessment the following terms are defined in section 9 of the Privacy Policy: personal information, sensitive information, unauthorised access, unauthorised disclosure and loss.
3.2.2 Criteria for determining severity
- The type and extent of personal information involved
- Whether one or multiple individuals have been affected
- Whether the information is protected by any security measures (password protection or encryption)
- The person or kinds of people who now have access
- Whether there is (or could there be) a real risk of serious harm to the affected individuals
- Whether there could be media or stakeholder attention as a result of the breach or suspect breach
In relation to 3.2.2(e) above, serious harm could include physical, physiological, emotional, economic/financial or harm to reputation and is defined in section 9 of the Privacy Policy and section 26WG of the NDB Act.
Having considered the matters in 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, the Member of the Province Administration must notify the Privacy Officer within 24 hours of being alerted under 3.1.
3.3 Privacy Officer to issue pre-emptive instructions
On receipt of the communication by the relevant member of the Province Administration under 3.2, the Privacy Officer will take a preliminary view as to whether the breach (or suspected breach) may constitute an NDB. Accordingly, the Privacy Officer will issue pre-emptive instructions as to whether the data breach should be managed at the local level or escalated to the Data Breach Response Team (Response Team). This will depend on the nature and severity of the breach.
3.3.1 Data breach managed at the Order Level
Where the Privacy Officer instructs that the data breach is to be managed at the local level, the relevant Member of the Province Administration must:
- ensure that immediate corrective action is taken, if this has not already occurred (corrective action may include: retrieval or recovery of the personal information, ceasing unauthorised access, shutting down or isolating the affected system); and
- submit a report via the Privacy Coordinator within 48 hours of receiving instructions under 3.3. The report must contain the following:
- Description of breach or suspected breach
- Action taken
- Outcome of action
- Processes that have been implemented to prevent a repeat of the situation.
- Recommendation that no further action is necessary
The Privacy Officer will be provided with a copy of the report and will sign-off that no further action is required.
The report will be logged in Alfresco (OSA’s Document Management System) by the Privacy Officer.
3.3.2 Data breach managed by the Response Team
Where the Privacy Officer instructs that the data breach must be escalated to the Response team, the Privacy Officer will convene the Response Team and notify the Prior Provincial.
The Response team will consist of:
- Privacy Officer
- Province Administrator (or nominee)
- Prior Provincial (or nominee)
- IT Support Contractor (or nominee)
3.4 Primary role of the Response Team
There is no single method of responding to a data breach and each incident must be dealt with on a case by case basis by assessing the circumstances and associated risks to inform the appropriate course of action.
The following steps may be undertaken by the Response Team (as appropriate):
- Immediately contain the breach (if this has not already occurred). Corrective action may include: retrieval or recovery of the personal information, ceasing unauthorised access, shutting down or isolating the affected system.
- evaluate the risks associated with the breach, including collecting and documenting all available evidence of the breach having regard for the information outlined in sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 above.
- Call upon the expertise of, or consult with, relevant staff in the particular circumstances.
- Engage an independent cyber security or forensic expert as appropriate.
- Assess whether serious harm is likely (with reference to section 3.2.2 above and section 26WG of the NDB Act).
- Make a recommendation to the Privacy Officer whether this breach constitutes an NDB for the purpose of mandatory reporting to the OAIC and the practicality of notifying affected individuals.
- Consider developing a communication or media strategy including the timing, content and method of any announcements to members of the province, staff or the media.
The Response Team must undertake its assessment within 48 hours of being convened.
The Privacy Officer will provide periodic updates to the Prior Provincial, or as deemed appropriate.
3.5 Notification
Having regard to the Response team’s recommendation in 3.4 above, the Privacy Officer will determine whether there are reasonable grounds to suspect that an NDB has occurred.
If there are reasonable grounds, the Privacy Officer must prepare a prescribed statement and provide a copy to the OAIC as soon as practicable (and no later than 30 days after becoming aware of the breach or suspected breach).
If practicable, OSA must also notify each individual to whom the relevant personal information relates. Where impracticable, OSA must take reasonable steps to publicise the statement (including publishing on the OSA.org.au website if required).
The prescribed statement will be logged by the Privacy Co-ordinator.
3.6 Secondary Role of the Response Team
Once the matters referred to in 3.4 and 3.5 have been dealt with, the Response team should turn attention to the following:
- Identify lessons learnt and remedial action that can be taken to reduce the likelihood of recurrence – this may involve a review of policies, processes, refresher training.
- Prepare a report for submission to the Prior Provincial and/or The Provincial Council
- Consider the option of an audit to ensure necessary outcomes are affected and effective.
4. Updates to this Procedure
In line with OSA’s Policy Development, this procedure is scheduled for review every five years or more frequently if appropriate.
