Formula Ford Association Inc and its associated entities (“FFA”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the general information handling practices you can expect from FFA. If you require any further information concerning privacy and the ways in which we handle your personal information, please contact us via the contact details set out below.

 

Collection of Personal Information

FFA only collects personal information that is necessary for one or more of our functions or activities. The types of personal information we collect and the purposes for collection will depend upon the particular circumstances. If you are a member of the Association, we will obviously require details such as your name, contact details and such other personal information to enable us to maintain your membership.

 

We may also collect personal information about you during the conduct of your matter from telephone calls, faxes, emails, letters and by other means. If you are a visitor to our website, we will generally not collect personal information about you (for further information on our Internet Privacy practices, please see below).

 

Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

FFA's policy is only to use your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected. FFA does not rent, sell or trade your personal information to or with any third party without your consent.

FFA may disclose personal information outside of FFA in the following circumstances:
- disclosures to external service providers who help us operate our Association, and who administer Motor Race Meetings and competitions that you may be competing in. Where relevant or if required, FFA will take reasonable steps to require those service providers to comply with the Privacy Act and only use personal information for prescribed purposes;

- if you have consented to the disclosure; and
- disclosures we are required or authorised to make by law or permitted to make under the Privacy Act.

 

In general, the types of organisations to which we would usually disclose personal information include CAMS, Australian Formula Ford Management Pty Limited, and motorsport promoters. Where appropriate, FFA will seek your consent before complying with any third party requests for personal information.

 

Security of Information 
FFA takes reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold about you from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

 

If we hold personal information about you and that information is no longer needed by us, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify the relevant information.

 

Specifically our security measures include:
- Clauses in employee and direct contractor agreements requiring confidentiality
- Appropriate security access to our office premises
- The use of passwords to access database information
- Document shredders for the disposal of written information

 

Access and Correction
Upon request, you may be provided with access to the personal information FFA holds about you. We reserve the right to charge any reasonable costs incurred by us in providing access in certain circumstances. If you would like to make a request for access, please set out your request in writing and send it to our Privacy Compliance Officer at the contact details set out below.

 

If you feel that any personal information FFA holds about you is not accurate, complete and up-to-date, please contact our Privacy Compliance Officer at the contact details set out below. We will then take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is corrected.

 

If you wish to express any concerns, or to make a formal complaint, about how we are handling personal information, these should also be submitted to our Privacy Compliance Officer at the contact details set out below.

Internet Privacy

This information is collected for trend and statistical purposes, and so that FFA can analyse and enhance its website's functions and capabilities.

 

Our website may make use of cookie technology, to provide you with better and more efficient service next time you visit our website.
