This policy is about how Youth Futures will manage personal information that we may hold about you. Personal information is information or an opinion about someone or that can be used to identify someone.
Information to be collected for a purpose
Youth Futures will only collect personal information where we need it for our work to help young people. This may include information about your family too.
How we will collect personal information
Youth Futures will generally only collect personal information directly from the person it relates to, either verbally or in writing. Normally we will get your consent, however sometimes it just makes sense to get the information from someone else, like for a referral.
Using personal information
Youth Futures will tell you why we need your personal information when we ask for it. We will then only use it for the purpose we collected it for. We will do our best to make sure it is accurate and up to date, but we need your help to do this.
Protecting your personal information
We will make sure your personal information is protected and not give it to anyone else, except under exceptional circumstances, like to help protect the life, health and safety of someone. Sometimes we may have to disclose personal information under the law, like to help with a police investigation.
You may also give consent for Youth Futures to pass on your personal information to someone else.
Access to the personal information we hold about you
You can ask us at any time to see the personal information we hold about you or to update it if it becomes out of date or you believe it is inaccurate.
