PRIVACY GUIDELINES
Collection of Information
Personal information collected by us is only for the purposes which are directly related to the provision of services by our organisation.
The information provided by people when engaging our services or participating in our activities is primarily used for communication purposes. This is usually limited to names, addresses, contact and emergency contact details but may require further information in certain circumstances.
We will collect contact details of our suppliers to enable us to place orders for our organisation.
We will collect personal information from our employees relating to their initial and ongoing employment, our volunteers as part of their service and as part of engaging contractors to perform work for our organisation.
Use and disclosure
We do not disclose individually identifiable information to any third party unless required to do so under law.
We will not disclose personal information about individuals to any third party other than when prior consent has been provided such as to confirm employment with a bank or fulfilling our obligations under law.
We may provide relevant personal information about an individual in an emergency if it will prevent or lesson a serious and imminent threat to yours or another person’s health or safety. If we do this, a record will be made of the situation and decision making involved in releasing that personal information, and who it was released to.
We will not use personal information or images for direct marketing, social media or our website unless prior consent has been obtained in writing and an opt-out provision has been explained.
Employees and volunteers are to refer to the organisation’s management before providing information to an external source if they are unsure if the information is confidential.
Access to personal information
Employees, volunteers, contractors and people accessing our services may access their personal information at any time by contacting management.
Security of information
We will take steps to protect the personal information held against misuse and loss, unauthorised access, interference, unauthorised modification or disclosure. These steps include reasonable safeguards for electronic and hard copy records such as:
Locking filing cabinets and unattended storage areas;
Physically securing the areas in which the personal information is stored;

Installing virus protections and firewalls; and
Positioning our computer, phone and iPad/tablet screens so that they cannot be seen or accessed by unauthorised people or members of the public.
We will destroy personal information once it is not required to be kept for the purpose for which it is collected, including from decommissioned laptops and mobile phones.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Confidentiality relates to the treatment and accessibility of information that has been disclosed or overheard during the course of a professional relationship. Confidentiality is a balance between safeguarding the rights of individuals, discharging professional duty of care and weighing up the need for others to know.
We all have an obligation to refrain from disclosing or discussion information with others that is given in confidence. This obligation remains if you are no longer working with us.
During your work with Phoenix Park Neighbourhood House, you are likely to come into contact with, or become aware of, certain sensitive information about either Phoenix Park Neighbourhood House or our clients which we are required to keep confidential.
We expect that individuals treat as confidential all information acquired by them during their employment, service or engagement including, without limitation:
Trade secrets or other commercially sensitive or confidential information;
Sensitive information such as financial transactions, the personal identity of clients accessing our services, attendance information etc;
Any information provided by clients or potential clients; and
Any other information from time to time indicated as confidential.
BREACHES
If you suspect a breach of confidentiality or privacy, the matter should be raised with organisation management. Breaches of this policy may result in disciplinary action. The action taken will depend on the seriousness of the breach, but may include counselling, formal warning, or termination of employment or contract.
