The Privacy
Policy explains how Northside Christian College collects, uses, stores and
discloses personal and sensitive information in accordance with Australian and
Victorian privacy laws. This includes information about students, parents and
carers, volunteers, contractors and others who interact with the College. The
primary purpose of collection is to provide education, support student wellbeing,
meet legal obligations and discharge the College’s duty of care.
The policy
outlines the types of information collected, how it is obtained, and how it may
be used or disclosed to authorised bodies such as government agencies, service
providers, medical professionals and parents. It also explains the use of
surveillance technologies, secure cloud-based systems, and biometric data to
support safety and consent management.
Clear
expectations apply to the use of student images, videos and personal information.
Consent is required for identifiable promotional use, and access to personal
information may be requested, corrected or restricted in line with privacy
legislation. The policy also supports lawful information sharing to promote
child safety and family wellbeing and sets out the College’s response to data
breaches.
All staff are
responsible for maintaining confidentiality, protecting personal information
from misuse or unauthorised disclosure, and following College procedures. When
in doubt, staff should seek advice before collecting, using or sharing personal
information.
