COLLECTION

The F3 Project collects all personal information directly from the individual, except in the case of references.

DISCLOSURE

We will not sell, rent, share, trade or give away any information we hold about you to anyone outside the F3 Project and our recognised partner organisations. We will only disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the F3 Project or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of F3 Project, the site or the users thereof, and (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the F3 site or the public.

LINKS

Our site may provide links to other sites. When you click on one of these links, you are leaving our site and entering another site that we do not control and for which we cannot be responsible. You should carefully review the privacy statements or policies on any other site that you visit because those privacy statements or policies will apply to your visit to that site and may be very different from our policy.

SECURITY

Personal information collected by the F3 Project and our website is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. At present, we centralise some records of personal information for all F3 Project operations, including this website, in Australia. Therefore, we may perform some of our data processing of your personal information outside of your country of residence, for example Australia. To do this, we may transfer your personal information internationally to their countries including Australia. The F3 Project will protect your personal information no matter where we process or store your data by following this privacy statement.

Note: By submitting your personal data to the F3 Project, you hereby consent to this transfer of your personal information.

As required by the Australian Privacy Act 1988, and the amendments introduced on the 21st December 2001, we follow strict security procedures and take appropriate measures to ensure that your information is not disclosed to a third party or other unauthorised personnel without your permission.
