Introduction

About

This Privacy and Data Collection Policy describes how Rainbow Giving Australia collects, uses, holds, and discloses personal information in connection with our websites, programs, fundraising activities, grant-making, events, research, partnerships, and broader organisational operations.

As a medium-sized not-for-profit organisation in Australia, we are not required to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) or the Australian Privacy Principles contained within the Privacy Act. Nevertheless, your privacy is important to us and this Privacy Policy explains how we intend to manage your personal information.

Rainbow Giving Australia may also use approved digital tools, including tools with artificial intelligence or automated functionality, to support administrative, operational, analytical, and communication activities. Where these tools are used, RGA aims to apply appropriate privacy, security, and governance safeguards.

We may update this Privacy and Data Collection Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal obligations, or organisational activities. The most current version will be published on our website(s).

Where changes are material, we may take reasonable steps to notify affected individuals. Continued engagement with our website, programs, services, events, or activities after the updated policy is published will constitute acceptance of the revised policy.

Definitions

Except where the context otherwise provides or requires:

The terms ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’ refers to Rainbow Giving Australia Limited (ABN 37 613 812 203); and
The terms ‘you’ or ‘your’ refers to a user of this website.
Where this policy uses terms that are defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), those terms have the same meaning unless the context indicates otherwise.

RGA personnel: all Board members, staff, contractors, and volunteers, and any person acting on behalf of Rainbow Giving Australia.
