Oxfam Australia Privacy Statement

Committed to protecting your rights

Oxfam Australia has always been committed to protecting your privacy. All information provided to us will remain confidential and protected. It will be used only as outlined below.

What information do we collect?

Oxfam Australia typically asks for the information below. However, it is your choice how much of this information you provide us with. All information is held securely.

  • contact information (e.g. name, address, e-mail)
  • personal details, including date of birth, gender, income
  • areas of interest
  • your supporter number
  • credit card numbers or bank account details for direct debit that are given to us for donations made online

Please note in order to process your gifts on Oxfam Unwrapped online it is a requirement that you provide certain details. This includes your names, address, a contact phone number and credit card details. You will be unable to use Oxfam Unwrapped online if you do not provide these details. Please call 1800 034 034 if you wish to use Oxfam Unwrapped without providing this information.

How do we use the information?

We collect this information in order to:

  • process donations and provide receipts
  • maintain accurate details of our supporters' history with the organisation
  • keep our supporters informed of our work
  • assist in the cost-effective development of our marketing and fundraising activities

To ensure your privacy is protected, information from your record will not be disclosed, nor details altered, unless requested by you (after your identity has been confirmed). Some data collected (eg. Date of Birth, Gender) will be used primarily for this purpose. If you wish to allow another person to access your details (e.g. family member, personal assistant) you need to notify Oxfam Australia in writing and we will note this on your record.

As we have a large number of supporters, at times we use external providers to assist in our mailing, receipting and/or processing of donations. We require these distributors to sign an agreement to keep your personal information confidential.

People who receive an Oxfam Unwrapped present

When you choose to send an e-card to someone we need to collect their email address to deliver it. We will only use the email address for this specific purpose and will not email the gift recipient any other materials nor store it for future use.
