The AKA is bound by laws which impose specific obligations when it comes to handling information. The association has adopted the following principles, contained as minimum standards in relation to handling personal information.

Comments Form

When visitors leave comments on the website we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. 

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. 

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. 

Uploaded Media 

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website. 

Embedded content from other websites 

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. 

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. 

Use of Cookies 

The Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. website uses “cookies” to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. 

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise the Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. pages, or register with the Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. site or services, a cookie helps the Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. to recall your information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses and so on. When you return to the Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. features that you customised. 

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your bowser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. services or websites you visit.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. 

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed. 

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day. 

How long we retain your data 

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. 

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information. 

What rights you have over your data 

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. 

The Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. can withhold the access of an individual to his/her information if:

  • providing access would pose a serious and imminent threat to the life or health of any individual; or
  • providing access would have an unreasonable impact upon the privacy of other individuals; or
  • the request for access is frivolous or vexatious; or
  • the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between the organisation and the individual, and the information would not be accessible by the process of discovery in those proceedings; or
  • providing access would reveal the intentions of the organisation in relation to negotiations with the individual in such a way as to prejudice those negotiations; or
  • providing access would be unlawful; or
  • providing access would be likely to prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity; or
  • an enforcement body performing a lawful security function asks the Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. not to provide access to the information on the basis that providing access would be likely to cause damage to the security of Australia.

The Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. will provide to the individual its reasons for denial of access or a refusal to correct personal information. Where providing access would reveal evaluative information generated within the organisation in connection with a commercially sensitive decision making process, the Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. may give the individual an explanation for the commercially sensitive decision rather than direct access to the information.

Where we send your data 

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. 

What data breach procedures we have in place

We have a Cyber Security Policy and Data Breach Response Plan, which we would follow in the unlikely event of a privacy or data breach.

If the Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. has sufficient reasons to believe that an unlawful activity has been, is being or may be engaged in, and the disclosure of personal information becomes a necessary part of its investigation of the matter or in reporting its concerns to relevant persons or authorities, the organisation may make such disclosures.

Changes to this Policy 

The Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. will occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect company and customer feedback. Updates are at the discretion of the Australian Kinesiology Management Committee. The Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. encourages you to periodically review this Policy to be informed of how the Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. is protecting your information.
