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.

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:

  1. 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;
  2. background checks, including reference checks, police checks, working with children checks and completed member protection declarations and related documents if:

  3. we otherwise consider it appropriate to obtain background checks in relation to you before entering into contracts, arrangements or understandings with you, or entities related to you; and
  4. medical information and emergency contact details. For example, this information may be held about you if you are a netball participant and/or have elected to participate in fitness or sporting activities.

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. De-identified information is information which has been aggregated or otherwise de-identified so that it cannot be used to identify you or any other individual.
