PRIVACY POLICY

Our commitment to your privacy

CNS Precision Assembly / CNS is committed to the privacy of our clients, families, carers and supporters. CNS is bound by the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in the Privacy Act (1988), and the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012, which came into force in March 2017, regulates how organisations may collect, use, disclose and store personal information and how individuals may access and correct personal information held about them.

By using or accessing the website located at www.CNS.org.au you signify your acceptance of our Privacy Policy.

If there is any inconsistency between this policy and the APPs, then the APPs prevail.

Information usage

CNS only uses personal information/images for the purposes for which the information/images were collected (for example, to provide services or support to a person), related purposes where the individual would reasonably expect us to use the information/image for that purpose, other purposes for which we received consent or otherwise as permitted by the APPs.

Third parties

CNS does not give information about a person to other organisations, government agencies or anyone else unless one of the following applies

  • The person has consented
  • The person reasonably expects us to or we have told them we will
  • It is required or authorised by law
  • We believe the disclosure is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to somebody’s life, health or safety; or
  • In other circumstances permitted by the APPs (for example, if we reasonably believe the disclosure is reasonably necessary for law enforcement purposes)

Credit card security

Donations you make to CNS using our online donation form are secured. Your connection to our donation page is encrypted, which means that your personal information, including credit card number, name and address cannot be viewed by a third party as the information travels across the internet.
