Privacy Policy for Swiss 8 Websites

Effective Date: October 02, 2025

Last Updated: October 02, 2025

Swiss 8 ("we," "us," "our") is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and secure personal information on our Kajabi (swiss8.org) and Funraisin (swiss8.funraisin.com.au) sites (the "Sites"). It applies to all users, donors, volunteers, event participants, and retreat applicants.

Personal information means information identifying an individual (e.g., name, email, health data for retreats).

1. Collection of Personal Information

We collect information you provide voluntarily, such as:

• Contact Details: Name, email, phone, address (for registrations, donations, volunteer sign-ups, retreat pre-registrations).
• Payment Information: Processed by third parties (e.g., Stripe, PayPal)—we do not store card details.
• Health and Sensitive Information: For DVA retreats (e.g., veteran status, medical history)—only with consent, for eligibility/clinician purposes.
• Event/Volunteer Data: Preferences, skills, availability for BBQs or Monkerai build.
• Usage Data: Automatically collected (IP address, browser type) via cookies/analytics (e.g., Google Analytics).

We collect from: Site forms, emails, events, partners (e.g., Our Cow for prizes fulfillment). We only collect what's necessary for our functions (e.g., fundraising, retreats).

2. Use of Personal Information

We use your information to:

• Process donations, raffle tickets, event registrations.
• Manage retreat pre-registrations and DVA compliance.
• Send updates, newsletters, or free tools (e.g., Recalibr8 modules).
• Coordinate volunteers for Monkerai build or events.
• Analyze Site usage for improvements.
• Comply with laws (e.g., tax receipts, ACNC reporting).

Sensitive information (e.g., health for retreats) is used only for the purpose collected, with explicit consent. Health data is not stored by Swiss 8 but is managed by treating clinicians in accordance with industry standards and legislation. 

3. Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose to:

• Service providers (e.g., Funraisin for fundraising, Kajabi for hosting, Stripe for payments).
• Partners (e.g., Our Cow/local butchers for prizes, Georgia Page and/or clinical team for health assessments).
• Clinicians/GPs for retreats (DVA-compliant).
• Authorities if required by law (e.g., ATO, ACNC).

No overseas disclosure unless consented (e.g., cloud providers with APP compliance). We ensure recipients protect your data.

4. Security of Personal Information

We use reasonable measures (e.g., encryption, access controls) to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Data is stored securely in Australia. Report breaches per Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

5. Access, Correction, and Your Rights

You can request access or correction of your information (free, unless unreasonable). Contact us to update, complain, or opt-out of marketing. We respond within 30 days. Anonymity available where practical (e.g., general browsing).

6. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies for functionality/analytics. You can manage via browser settings. Third-party tools (e.g., Google) may track for ads—opt-out via their policies.

7. Children's Privacy

Sites not for under 18 without guardian consent. We do not knowingly collect from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update—check regularly. Continued use accepts changes.
