Privacy

How Clonard College handles the information we collect about individuals (referred to in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) as personal information) is very important for two main reasons:

•   People we deal with expect us to handle their personal information properly
•   We have a legal obligation to do so. 

Below is the information that are requirements of our Privacy Program:

Clonard College is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles(APPs).

Please refer to our Privacy Policy and General Collection Notice above or contact our Privacy Officer to see how we will use the personal information you are providing us with and how to contact us if you have any questions about our management of personal information. We reserve the right to modify this privacy collection notice from time to time to reflect our current privacy practices.
