Get Ahead (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a national advocacy campaign run by Aspiration Australia Ltd, a not-for-profit company, for Australians trying to get ahead and being held back. We campaign for lower taxes, less red tape, more choice, more freedom, and a real reward for having a go.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, hold, use, disclose and protect your personal information, and how you can access, correct or make a complaint about the personal information we hold about you.
This policy applies to all personal information we collect through our website, online tools, sign-up forms, donation forms, campaign action tools, email and SMS communications, social media activity, advertising campaigns, events and any other interaction you have with Get Ahead.
We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). By providing your personal information to us, or by using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Get Ahead is operated by Aspiration Australia Ltd, ABN 80703275772.
We collect personal information that you provide to us directly, information that is generated when you use our website, and information we receive when you use our tools or take campaign actions.
Information you provide directly
Information collected automatically when you use our website
Information generated when you use our online tools
We may not link tool inputs to your identity unless you submit your details, save a result, share a result through a form, make a donation, sign up, or otherwise provide identifying information in the same interaction or campaign flow.
We collect personal information in the following ways:
Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), information about a person’s political opinions, membership of a political association, philosophical beliefs, trade union membership and health information may be classified as sensitive information.
By joining our campaign, signing up to receive our communications, making a donation, attending an event, using a campaign action tool, or otherwise engaging with Get Ahead, you expressly consent to us collecting, holding, using and disclosing information that may reveal your support for Get Ahead’s objectives, campaigns or views. We will only use this information for the purposes set out in this policy, or as required or authorised by law.
You do not need to provide sensitive information to use the website. If you choose to provide information that is sensitive, we treat it as sensitive and handle it accordingly.
We collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information to:
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share your personal information with:
Elected representatives and their offices - when you choose to send a message through a campaign action tool, your message may be delivered to the representative or office you have selected, with your name, email address, postcode and any other details required to verify or process the message.
Service providers - trusted third parties who help us operate our website, manage our supporter database, send communications, process donations and payments, run analytics, host content, provide security, and deliver or measure advertising. These providers are only permitted to use your personal information for the purposes we direct and in accordance with confidentiality and security obligations.
Advertising platforms - including platforms that allow us to build audiences, measure campaign performance, suppress existing supporters from advertising, or deliver relevant campaign content.
Professional advisers - including lawyers, accountants, auditors, insurers and consultants where necessary.
Law enforcement and regulators - where we are required or authorised by law, including in response to a valid legal request or to comply with electoral, fundraising, taxation or privacy obligations.
Successors or assigns - if Get Ahead is reorganised, merged with another entity, transferred, or wound up, personal information may be transferred as part of that process.
Some of the service providers we use are based outside Australia, or hold data on servers located outside Australia. The countries in which your personal information may be held include the United States of America, Ireland, Singapore and other locations where our service providers operate data centres.
Before disclosing personal information to an overseas recipient, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient handles the information in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. These steps include access controls, encryption in transit, secure cloud storage, permission controls, multi-factor authentication where available, and staff or contractor training.
No method of transmission over the internet, and no method of electronic storage, is completely secure. While we use reasonable measures to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If we become aware of a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm to any individual, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
