Our commitment to you
Caring Australia respects and upholds your rights to privacy protection under the National Privacy Act 1988, specifically in relation to the amendments made by the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 in regulating how we collect, use and disclose and hold your personal information.
Our commitment to the security of confidentiality is resolute and we aim to apply best practice to ensure privacy is protected and respected. We regularly update our practices to accommodate changes in technology, the organisation’s function and legislation.
Our website
Caring Australia website provides information for our customers, parents, carers, families, professionals involved in the field, students and supporters.
This privacy statement applies to the www.caringaustralia.com.au website.
What information is collected?
Caring Australia collects personal information that you provide to us for a nominated purpose. This information may include name, address, telephone numbers and email address.
Interest-based online advertising and Google Analytics
This section provides details about interest-based online advertising (also called “targeted advertising”, “remarketing” or “behavioural advertising”), demographic and interest reporting, display network impression reporting, Google Analytics, Google Ads and your choices with respect to this type of advertising and information retrieval.
We use Google Analytics’ and Google Ads third-party audience data such as age, gender and interests to better understand the behaviours of our customers and their online activities, allowing us to provide advertising that is targeted to suit their interests and preferences. For example, you may see certain ads on this website or other websites because we contract with Google to target our ads based on information we or they have gathered. This includes data that was obtained through automated technologies to collect information when you click on our ads, helping us to track and manage the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
You may opt-out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests, by visiting the consumer opt-out page for the Self-Regulatory Principles of Online Behavioural Advertising. You can also choose to edit or opt-out of your Google Display Network ads’ preferences and further Manage Cookies in your web browser. Because those opt-out and preference control pages are specific to the individual browser used to visit it, and because that page is not operated by Caring Australia, we are unable to perform the opt-outs on your behalf.
