It collects this information in fair and lawful ways.

We collect personal information that is necessary for our function and activities such as:

• Establishing your membership/Friend and Supporter status;

• Administering and managing membership/subscription transactions;
• Keeping you informed of upcoming meetings, events, promotions and new products;
• When thought necessary, conducting surveys which will ultimately benefit glaucoma sufferers;
• Analysing data for general statistical information;
• Assisting us to improve our service to you.  

Without your personal details we may not be able to supply our services to you. By continuing to receive our services you consent to Glaucoma Australia storing and maintaining your personal information. However, the accuracy of this information depends to a large extent on the details you provide. Please keep us up to date with changes to personal information such as your name, address, postcode etc.

Glaucoma Australia collects personal information in a number of ways:

Some promotions (e.g. raffles) involve a third party. When you sign up for these promotions, we will provide your name and contact details only to the outside organisation to provide this service.

Our commitment to privacy extends to our internet site. Our web site www.glaucoma.org.au is a secured site. We provide links to third party sites to enable you to access further glaucoma information.
