About

This Privacy Policy was created and published on this site on 14th March 2022.

It describes our collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of your personal information. It applies to the South Australian Perioperative Nurses Association (SAPNA) website and to any other services no matter how you access or use them, including written communications, event registrations, financial accounting transactions, and electronic interactions, including through mobile devices or other electronic technology. We take steps to ensure that the personal information we collect is accurate and up to date. By using our Services, you are accepting the terms of this Privacy Policy, and you are consenting to our collection, use, disclosure, retention and protection of your personal information as described in below.

Collection

We may collect, process, record and retain personal information when you:

• apply for and renew membership;

• register for events and make payments;

Personal information is information that can be associated with you and could be used to identify you from that data, or from that data and other information that SAPNA has or is likely to have access to. We do not consider personal information to include information that has been made anonymous or aggregated so that it can no longer be used to identify a specific person, whether in combination with other information or otherwise.
