Privacy Policy.
Our Commitment to Privacy
The Benjamins Foundation is committed to protecting the privacy, dignity, and rights of every individual, family, organisation, and community with whom it engages. We recognise that trust is fundamental to our work and treat all information provided to us with care, respect, and responsibility.
Information We Collect
The Foundation may collect personal and organisational information that is voluntarily provided through general enquiries, funding applications, correspondence, or other legitimate interactions.
This information may include names, contact details, organisational affiliations, project information, financial details relevant to funding applications, and any supporting documentation necessary to assess eligibility or deliver assistance.
How Information Is Used
Information provided to the Foundation is used solely for purposes consistent with its charitable objectives, including:
- Responding to enquiries and requests for information.
- Assessing applications for support or funding.
- Conducting appropriate due diligence and governance processes.
- Maintaining communication with applicants, partners, and beneficiaries.
- Complying with legal and regulatory obligations.
Personal information will only be used to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfil these purposes.
Information Sharing
The Benjamins Foundation does not sell, trade, or otherwise distribute personal information to third parties for commercial purposes.
Information may be shared with trusted advisers, service providers, or collaborating organisations where such disclosure is necessary to support the Foundation's activities, comply with legal requirements, or enhance existing programmes consistent with the Foundation's values and objectives.
Any such sharing will be undertaken with appropriate regard for confidentiality, dignity, and privacy.
Data Security
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures are implemented to safeguard information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
While every effort is made to maintain secure systems and processes, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be entirely secure.
International Operations
The Foundation operates across Australia, Israel, Mexico, and Colombia. Information provided to the Foundation may therefore be processed, stored, or reviewed in more than one jurisdiction where necessary to support its legitimate activities and governance responsibilities.
In all circumstances, the Foundation seeks to uphold consistent standards of privacy, confidentiality, and respect.
Your Rights
Individuals may request access to personal information held by the Foundation and may seek correction of inaccurate or incomplete records, subject to applicable legal requirements and legitimate operational considerations.
Requests relating to privacy matters will be considered carefully, respectfully, and in good faith.
