ORTHODOX FAITH collects the personal information it needs to provide information to viewers. The
following are the main types of personal information collected by ORTHODOX FAITH and the main
purposes for which they are collected:
To assist with your queries
You may also choose to provide us with your name or other contact details when you call us by phone, write
to us or email us, so that we can respond to your query and send you information about our products and
services.
When you use our Website
In general, you can use parts of our Websites without giving us any information, unless you are interacting
with us for purposes such as those described above.
How do we use personal information?
We generally use and disclose your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected and for
related purposes that would be reasonably expected by you (or otherwise as required or authorised by law).
We may also use personal information about you to register you on our Website, to administer our Website
services (including processing any searches or requests for information about our products or services), and
to allow you to use those services (e.g. blogs, open forums, location based services and discussion pages).
We may combine information that we collect about you through one of our Websites with information that
you provide to us by other means, or that is provided to us by third parties. We may store that information
together in a combined database or in separate databases.
Anonymous information
We may automatically collect technical information from which you cannot be identified when you connect
to our Websites or use our services. An example is the domain name of another website from which you
linked to one of our Websites. We collect this information to help us with identifying users' browsing
preferences. The information is used for internal purposes only so that we can carry out research on your
demographics, behaviour and interests. Anonymous or generic information from which you cannot be
personally identified is not personal information and is therefore outside the scope of this Privacy Policy.
Disclosing personal information

• to any organisation in the ORTHODOX FAITH group (which includes our related companies and any
other entity under the ORTHODOX FAITH brand name);

information are bound to protect the privacy of that personal information. Please note that some of the
persons to whom we disclose personal information may be situated outside Australia.

the person who will receive your Personal Information is subject to effective data protection obligations; (ii)
where the transfer is necessary for the performance of any contract between you and ORTHODOX FAITH
or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures; (iii) where the transfer is for your benefit and it is
impractical for ORTHODOX FAITH to obtain your consent, but if it were practical you would be likely to
consent; and (iv) as required or authorised by or under law, and where you subsequently consent from time
to time.
