Introduction
The New South Wales Institute of Sport (“NSWIS”) of Level 1, Building B, 6 Figtree Drive Sydney Olympic Park in the State of New South Wales 2127, is constituted under the Institute of Sport Act 1995 (NSW). NSWIS is constituted as a statutory body representing the Crown.
Under the Institute of Sport Act 1995 (NSW), NSWIS’s objectives are:
1.to provide resources, services and facilities to enable New South Wales sportspeople to pursue and achieve excellence in sport while also furthering their educational, vocational and personal development;
2.to foster the development and co-ordination of high performance and talent development programs for New South Wales sportspeople; and
3.to assist the development of Australian sporting performance at international levels through co-operatively developed, and complementary, national programs.
NSWIS is subject to the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (NSW) (the “Act”) including the “Information Protection Principles” set out in the Act.
This Privacy Policy sets out the various ways in which NSWIS collects, holds, uses and discloses “personal information” and explains your rights and how to contact NSWIS. This Privacy Policy is made in accordance with the requirements of the Act which are imposed on NSWIS in NSWIS’s capacity as a “public sector agency” (as that term is defined in the Act). In this Privacy Policy, the terms “You” and “a person” are used interchangeably.
The term “personal information”, as it is used in this Privacy Policy, is given the same meaning as given to that term in section 4 of the Act. Basically, personal information is information or an opinion (including information or an opinion held in a database, whether or not recorded in a material form) that identifies you, or could reasonably identify you, or which from your identity could be reasonably ascertained. It should also be noted that s 4A of the Act excludes, from the definition of “personal information”, any information which is “health information” within the meaning of the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (NSW) (the “Health Information Act”) (unless the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (NSW) states otherwise).
NSWIS may from time to time update this Privacy Policy by publishing an updated version of this Privacy Policy on its website, www.nswis.com.au (the “NSWIS Website”).
Individuals will have the option of not identifying themselves when dealing with NSWIS if it is lawful and practical to do so. If any individual has any concerns about dealing with NSWIS without identifying themselves or providing personal information to NSWIS in the course of dealing with NSWIS, that individual should contact NSWIS at: nswis.privacy@nswis.com.au, where any communication will be dealt with confidentially and anonymously.
