Child Protection Policy

GOOSH follows a strict policy of seeking parent/guardian permission before using images which show children on the GOOSH website.

No other private information about children is ever published on the website such as surnames or contact details.

Where permission is granted by parents/guardians, GOOSH operates the following policy on its website regarding the use of photographs, to ensure the privacy and safety of children attending GOOSH:

1. Where children are named, only their first names are given;
2. Where a child is named, no photograph of that child is displayed;
3. Where a photograph is used which shows a child, no name is displayed.

By observing these points, GOOSH ensures that visitors to the website cannot link images of children to names of children.

When choosing photographs for the website, GOOSH is mindful of the way children may appear in them, and will not include images which are in any way inappropriate, such as close-up portrait shots of individual children.

Personal Information

Personal information about visitors to our website is collected only when knowingly and voluntarily submitted. For example, we may need to collect such information to provide you with further services or to answer or forward any request or enquiries. It is our intention that this policy will protect your personal information from being dealt with in any way that is inconsistent with applicable privacy laws in Australia.

Use of Information

Personal information that visitors submit to our site is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted or for such secondary purposes that are related to the primary purpose, unless we disclose other uses in this Internet Privacy Policy or at the time of collection.

Disclosure

Apart from where you have consented or disclosure is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was submitted, personal information may be disclosed in special situations where we have reason to believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against anyone damaging, injuring, or interfering (intentionally or unintentionally) with our rights or property, users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. Also, we may disclose personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires disclosure.

We may engage third parties to provide you with goods or services on your behalf. In that circumstance, we may disclose your personal information to those third parties in order to meet your request for goods and services.
