Privacy Policy
Your Privacy
At The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria we understand
that privacy is important. We have prepared this Privacy
Policy to fill you in on who we are, our objectives in
handling the personal information that we collect and how you
can find out more about our privacy philosophy and the
personal information that we collect about you.
Our information handling practices are governed by the
National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)
(Privacy Act), the Health Privacy Principles in the Health
Records Act 2001 (Vic) (Health Records Act) and any other
applicable laws governing privacy.
Who are we?
The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria Limited, A.B.N 66
006 728 785, A.C.N 006 728 785, Melbourne Showgrounds, Epsom
Road, Ascot Vale, Victoria (referred to in this document as
RAS or We or Us).
What do we collect and why do we collect it?
There will be situations in which it is necessary for us to
collect information about you.
We collect, hold and use personal information such as names,
addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, tax file numbers,
banking and credit card details, qualifications, results of
entries into RAS events and compliance with regulations and
standards when participating in RAS events. We may collect
personal information, including health information, from
medical practitioners, St John Ambulance officers or other
health service providers attending RAS events. We may also
collect personal information from other Royal Agricultural
Society bodies and breed societies.
We collect personal information for the purpose of
administering RAS events and related matters such as:
publication of winners' information in RAS publications;
provision of health services during RAS events;
maintenance of records of information relevant to
qualification for future events;
maintenance of records of incidents and accidents that occur
during RAS events;
providing applicable insurance cover for participants in
certain RAS events; and
making claims on RAS's insurance in relation to any incidents
or accidents in connection with an RAS event.
If you contact us with a query or a request for information
(including through our website) we will use the personal
information you give us to respond to your query or request.
We also collect personal information in order to administer
RAS memberships and manage our relationship with employees,
contract workers and service providers. If you are an employee
or are working for us on contract, some different
considerations apply given your particular relationship with
RAS. Please contact the Privacy Officer for details.
Unless you indicate a preference not to receive such material,
we may also collect personal information about you so you can
receive material about future RAS events or other promotional
opportunities.
What about "cookies"?
A "cookie" is a small message given to your web browser by our
web server. The browser stores the message in a text file, and
the message is then sent back to the server each time the
browser requests a page from the server.
We make limited use of cookies on our website for the purposes
of providing you with access to special membership services.
We do not match cookies to your member details (that is, if
you are an RAS member) and we do not use cookies to track your
movements after leaving this website.
Who do we tell?
Sometimes it is necessary for us to share information with
third parties to carry on our business.
These parties include:
co-sponsors of RAS events;
medical practitioners, St John Ambulance officers and other
health service providers attending RAS events;
telecommunications and other service providers providing
services to participants in RAS events;
insurance providers, in order to provide applicable insurance
to participants or to make claims under the RAS's insurance in
relation to incidents or accidents that occur during an RAS
event; and
other Royal Agricultural Societies and breed societies
recognised by the RAS.
If you are a member we have informed about the possibility of
providing third party promotional opportunities, and you have
not indicated that you prefer not to receive them, we may
disclose your information to third parties so they can provide
you with these promotional opportunities.
We will generally tell you more about who we share information
with and why in the context of your particular dealing with
us. If legal or health and safety issues arise we may also
have to make disclosures to relevant organisations to deal
with these matters.
Comments or corrections?
You may have some rights of access to personal information the
RAS holds about you. To correct or update your personal
information, or if you have any queries regarding personal
information, please contact our Privacy Officer by telephoning
(03) 9281 7444 or writing to Privacy Officer, RAS Limited,

If you are unhappy that personal information about you has
been included in one of our publications, please let us know.
Where reasonable, possible and practical we will remove that
information at the next practical opportunity. |
