k) other personal information that is relevant to the conduct of our legitimate activities.

11. Some of the information that you give to us may be required to be given to us to enable us to assist you.  With other information, it may be optional whether you give it to us. If you do not give us some, or all, of the personal information that we request, it may affect our ability to communicate with you. It may also affect our ability to provide products or services to you and it may affect your ability to register for and participate in netball programs or activities conducted by us or apply for employment or volunteer positions with us.  If it is impracticable for us to deal with you in circumstances where you have not provided the information or consents that we have requested, we may decline to do so.

12. Sensitive information is a subset of personal Information that is generally afforded a higher level of privacy protection, such as health information.  Sensitive information includes health and genetic information and information about racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association or trade union, sexual preferences or practices, criminal record and some types of biometric information.  We only collect sensitive information where it is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities and where you have either consented to provide that information or we are required or authorised by or under law (including applicable privacy legislation) to do so.  We may use health information about you for insurance purposes and/or to ensure that netball programs in which you participate are run safely and in accordance with any special health needs you may have.  We may also use sensitive information in accordance with the requirements of our respective constitutions, rules, regulations, policies and procedures, including for health, medical and anti-doping testing purposes and investigations.  For example, we may ask for:

a) details of a disability you may suffer, if you elect to provide that information to allow us to provide you with relevant services and information;

13. In addition, we may also use de-identified information and other sensitive information to carry out research, to prepare submissions to government or a government body or to plan events and activities.

When you choose to participate, you may be opting to link your activity on our Online Systems with that third party website or service, which may then collect information about your visits to our Online Systems and may publish that activity as you request to your “profile” or similar feature with that third party (such as if you choose to share content you find on our Online Systems with your “connections” on the third party’s website or service).

The information we collect is subject to this Privacy Policy, however, the information collected and stored by a third party remains subject to the third party’s privacy policies and practices, including whether the third party continues to share information with us or with other third parties, the types of information shared, and your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third party’s website or service.  The third party may allow you to remove the application or feature, in which case we will no longer collect information about you through the application or feature, but we may retain the information previously collected.  In addition, we may receive information about you if other users of a third party website or service give us access to their profiles and you are one of their “connections” or information about you is otherwise accessible through your “connections’” web page, profile page, or similar page on a social networking or other third party website or interactive service.

29. The security of personal information is important to us and we use physical security and other measures to ensure that personal information is protected from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.  Personal information held in paper-based form is generally securely stored at our respective head offices or, in the case of archived records, at external storage facilities in Australia.
