Privacy Policy

The Space Industry Association of Australia Limited (SIAA) complies with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the
Australian Privacy Principles, the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) when dealing
with personal information.

This Privacy Policy details how SIAA collects and uses personal information and how an individual may
contact SIAA for any queries or complaints in relation to privacy.

Under the Privacy Act 1998, personal information means any information or opinion about an individual
whose identity is apparent or reasonably ascertained from that
information or opinion. Examples of personal information include a person’s name, email address, phone number and profession.

SIAA collects and uses two types of personal information:

1) Personal information related to representatives or contacts of space related organisations or entitieswhich are or are to be listed in the Australian Space Capability Database and

2) Personal information related to SIAA members.

Personal information related to organisations or entities

SIAA works to develop the Australian space industry through promoting government, commercial, industry
and research cooperation and collaboration. An effective contribution to this mission is SIAA’s Australian
Space Capability Database (‘the database’).

Necessary for SIAA’s activity in relation to the database is the collection of information about organisations
or entities within organisations with space related expertise in Australia. Each entry within the database
contains a variety of information about the organisation including the names and contact details of up to six
key personnel who are associated with that organisation or entity. This information relating to key personnel
as well as other identifying details (such as being associated with the particular space-related organisation
listed in the database) may constitute personal information.

The primary purpose of any personal information collected in relation to the database is to make SIAA
members and Australian space related organisations aware of a selection of individuals holding a significant
or specific role within other space related entities or organisations, primarily as a point of contact.

SIAA encourages organisations that wish to be included in the database to enter and update their own
details.

Where practicable, SIAA collects personal from the individual to whom that information belongs. SIAA may
collect details of an organisation’s key personnel from publicly available sources (such as an organisation’s
website). Where SIAA obtains personal information from non-public sources, SIAA takes reasonable steps
as soon as practicable to ensure that the key personnel is aware of any personal information added to the
database and that they have the opportunity to amend, add or withdraw that personal information.

Personal information related to organisations or entities

a) SIAA directors and members

b) Any organisation or entity that enters, or makes a request to SIAA for its details to be entered in the database

c) Any organisation or individual approved by the SIAA for purposes that are in line with the SIAA’s objects and mission and

d) Any other user of the database.

Personal information relating to key personnel is not accessible to overseas entities unless:

a) those overseas entities are organisations contained within the database or

b) providing access is required by law or

c) an overseas organisation accesses the database.

Personal information relating to key personnel may be accessed, updated or removed at any time by the individual or the organisation to which the individual belongs. If your personal information is listed under key personnel and you wish it be removed or amended, please contact us as set out below.

Personal information relating to SIAA members

If Australian space-related organisations wish to take full advantage of SIAA’s services, they may decide to become SIAA members.

In applying to become an SIAA member, an individual named on the application must approve the application on the organisation’s behalf.

Pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001, SIAA must hold a registry of SIAA members. This registry must include personal information such as the member’s name and address.

Further to the requirements under the Corporations Act, the personal information related to an individual applying on behalf of an entity to become an SIAA member is limited to:

a) Name

b) Title

c) Entity which the individual is applying on behalf of

d) Position within the entity

e) Contact phone number and

f) Contact email address.

SIAA also records the email contacts of up to five further key personnel of the applying entity and other data relating to members for the purpose of accounting for membership fees, reminding members to renew their membership and direct marketing.

An individual making an application on behalf of an entity to become a SIAA member may submit the individual’s personal postal address rather than that of the entity’s. Where it is evident this has occurred, SIAA will not include the personal postal address on the database unless consent is received from that individual.

a) Name

b) Title

c) Profession or field of study

Where an entity is an SIAA member, SIAA uses the associated personal information for membership purposes and for the capability database.

Unless otherwise required by law, personal information collected for membership purposes only is available exclusively to the following:

a) SIAA administration (including staff, board members and certain volunteers and contractors)

b) Other SIAA members

c) Individuals to whom that personal information belongs and

d) Third parties for the purposes of surveys or quality control etc. (see below).
