The ALP and the Chifley Research Centre values protecting your privacy and in doing so follows current Australian best practice guidelines and the spirit and intent of the Privacy Act 1988 to ensure your privacy is protected.

Information provided by you

The content of e-mails or comments made in feedback or comment forms may be retained and passed on, along with your name and e-mail address, to the appropriate section of The ALP and the Chifley Research Centre for consideration, a response and possible follow-up, if it is considered appropriate. The information provided will not be used for any other purpose and your name and e-mail address will not be added to a mailing list unless specifically requested by you and that request is confirmed via response to an e-mail sent to the address provided.

Information provided by you as part of a credit card transaction will be handled by a secure server, which should be indicated by your browser. The information is not held on ALP and the Chifley Research Centre Internet servers and is passed directly to the ALP and the Chifley Research Centre’s credit card transaction service provider in an encrypted form. The information will not be used for any other transaction or purpose or provided to any other third party.

Donations by individuals totaling over $1500 are subject to disclosure under the requirements of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 and it is for this reason we make provision of personal details mandatory whilst making a donation.

Information provided by you in the course of completing an online petition will be passed on to the appropriate officer of the Australian Parliament, however, it will not be used by the ALP and the Chifley Research Centre for any other purpose unless specifically requested by you.

All ALP and the Chifley Research Centre’s Internet mailing lists use a double-opt-in process which requires a request and confirmation of the request for an e-mail address to be added to a mailing list. All e-mail and newsletters sent via automated mailing lists will clearly identify the ALP and the Chifley Research Centre as the sender and will include a suitable method for unsubscribing. Unsubscribing from a list removes your personal details from the list and they are not retained. If a subscription request is received and it is not confirmed, the request and personal information contained in it will be removed from the ALP and the Chifley Research Centre’s records.

Credits

Before we get on to some of the organisations that provide, through their courtesy, the ALP and the Chifley Research Centre the use of some of their content and services, we must pay a tribute to the many people, both paid and volunteers, who have contributed to the ALP and the Chifley Research Centre’s World Wide Web presence since 1995.

They are too many to mention individually. They include National Secretaries, who were willing to listen to people within the ALP and the Chifley Research Centre who understood the opportunity the Internet provided the ALP, the Chifley Research Centre, its supporters, members and the wider community. Others include editors, designers, contributors and “web monkeys” who have put in hours, days, weeks, months and years of effort to develop the ALP and the Chifley Research Centre sites.
