The short version
1. What we collect
When you register for an event, volunteer, or send us a message, we may collect your name, age group, email, parent or guardian contact details, emergency contact, and dietary or allergy information for events with food. That's it — only what we need.
2. How we use it
We use your information to organise and run events safely, reply to your messages, and share program updates you’ve asked for. We never sell it, and we never use it for anything unrelated to the kampung.
3. Photos & videos
Photos and videos may be taken at events for documentation and promotion — on this site, Instagram and YouTube. Notify the organisers in advance if you or your child would prefer not to appear, and ask us any time to take an image down. We will, no questions asked.
4. Young people & parents
Much of our community is under 18, so we're extra careful. Registrations for under-18s need parent or guardian consent, and parents can contact us at any time to see, correct, or remove their child's information.
5. Storage & security
Your information is stored securely and only committee members who need it can access it. We keep it only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, then delete it.
6. Sharing & third parties
We don't sell or trade your information. Donations run through a secure third-party payment portal, and our Instagram and YouTube pages are covered by those platforms' own policies. We'd only ever share information if the law requires it.
7. The Privacy Act
We aim to handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and with the guidance of our parent organisation, Kampung Utara Melbourne.
8. Access, corrections & questions
Want to see what we hold, fix something, or have it removed? Email us at kumyouth@kum.org.au (to confirm) and we'll respond as soon as we can, insyaAllah.
