Privacy

The Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012 which commenced on 12 March 2014 introduced many significant changes to the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act). These changes are designed to protect your rights with respect to personal information held by Anglican Funds Grafton Diocese.

AFGD records names, addresses, dates of birth, contact details, your bank account details, financial transactions and balances of accounts held at AFGD. All your personal information is kept secure. AFGD realises the importance of privacy to members and as such does not release any information of records stored to a third party for their use without the account holders' authority unless required to do so by law.

AFGD understands and appreciates the concerns account holders have regarding the privacy, confidentiality, and security of information obtained from you. To ensure complete privacy, AFGD has adopted the Australian Privacy Principles as contained in the Act. A copy of the principles may be viewed at the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.oaic.gov.au/privacyprivacy-act/australian-privacy-principles.

Subsequent to this, AFGD is also governed by the Privacy Policy that is in place for the Anglican Diocese of Grafton. A copy of this policy is available by contacting our office.

Please contact the Registrar of the Anglican Diocese of Grafton if you have any privacy concerns by calling 02 6642 4122 or in writing to:
