In some cases, where it would be unreasonable or impracticable to obtain your personal information directly from you, we may obtain it from a publicly available source, or a third party such as a marketing company.

We use your personal information to ensure that we can process donations, provide receipts and communicate with you about our activities (for example, by mail, email or telephone).

Who do we disclose personal information to?

Personal information that you provide may be disclosed to others. Your information may be shared with trusted third parties and our service providers, such as mailing companies and telemarketing companies.

Anonymity

You can remain anonymous when making general enquiries or donations with the Eastern Health Foundation. If you do not provide your personal information, there may be some activities we cannot do for you, such as sending information or tax-deductible receipts to you.

Storage

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. The various ways we protect your personal information include firewalls, secure servers and encryption of credit card transactions.
