Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
1. Who we are
This site is operated by Rebecca Rebuild Research Foundation Pty Ltd (ABN 78 696 678 805), trading as The Rebecca Rebuild Institute ("we", "us", "our").
Address: c/- The Commons, 388 George Street, Sydney NSW 2000
Email: hello@rebeccarebuild.org
2. What personal information we collect
- Contact details you submit through enquiry, contact or subscription forms — typically your name and email address, plus any message you choose to send us.
- Limited technical information automatically collected when you visit the site (e.g. IP address, browser type, pages viewed, referring URL) via cookies and analytics tools.
- We do not collect or store donation payment details on this site. Donations are processed by GoFundMe; their handling of your information is governed by their own privacy policy.
3. How and why we collect and use it
We collect personal information directly from you when you contact us, sign up for updates, or otherwise interact with the site. We use it to:
- respond to your enquiries;
- send you information you have requested;
- operate, maintain and improve the site and our programs;
- comply with our legal obligations.
4. Sensitive and health information
We do not actively seek sensitive or health information. If you choose to share health information with us (for example, in a message describing your situation), we will only collect and use it with your consent and for the purpose for which you provided it.
5. Who we disclose information to
We may share personal information with trusted third-party service providers who help us run the site and our programs, including:
- GoFundMe (for donations made via our fundraiser);
- email delivery and newsletter providers;
- website hosting and analytics providers (e.g. Google Analytics or equivalent).
Overseas disclosure (APP 8): some of these providers may store or process information outside Australia (for example, in the United States or the European Union). Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled in a way consistent with the APPs.
6. Storage and security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Cookies and analytics
The site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and to understand how visitors use the site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work as intended if you do.
8. Accessing or correcting your information
You can request access to the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete, by emailing hello@rebeccarebuild.org.
9. Complaints
If you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles, please contact us first at hello@rebeccarebuild.org and we will respond within a reasonable time. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
