Pink Finss Charity is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any linked third party websites.
If we become aware of an eligible data breach, we will assess whether the breach is likely to result in serious harm to the individual whose personal information has been compromised. If such assessment concludes that there was a data breach which is required to be reported under the Privacy Act, we will accordingly report the breach to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and the individuals to whom the breach relates (where that individual’s contact details are accurate).
