Privacy Policy
Overview
The SAP Australian User Group’s (SAUG) is a small business operator as defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act). Accordingly, SAUG is not bound by the Privacy Act or the Australian Privacy Principles. However, SAUG is committed to safeguarding your privacy online and only collects and/or discloses your personal information with your consent or as required or authorised by law.
This SAUG privacy policy outlines how SAUG endeavours to handle your personal information, together with some guidelines for the Committee and other members to ensure that the Association’s use of personal information is in accordance with SAUG’s privacy statement.
Personal Information
“Personal Information” means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable:
(a) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and
(b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.
The individuals the SAUG may collect personal information from or about, include representatives of member organisations or prospective members, representatives of SAP Australia Pty Ltd or the Association’s sponsors.
Some examples of personal information that is collected by SAUG from an individual include:
- email addresses;
- telephone numbers;
- postal addresses;
- job titles;
- preferences (e.g. information setting out what an individual thinks about presentations etc.)
- opinions about an individual (e.g. responses to a presenter at a Plenary)
SAUG PRIVACY STATEMENT
The SAUG recognises the importance of privacy protection. The Executive Committee has developed this Privacy Statement to demonstrate the Association’s commitment to members and their privacy.
Collection of Personal Information
SAUG will only collect personal information when necessary to provide members with a specific service or function. Unless unreasonable or impractical this personal information will be collected directly from the individual and with their consent.
SAUG will take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual is aware of:
(i) SAUG’s identity and how to contact SAUG;
(ii) the individual’s ability to gain access to their personal information;
(iii) the purpose for which the information is collected;
(iv) any organisations (or the types of organisations) to which SAUG discloses information of that kind;
(v) any law that requires the particular information to be collected; and
(vi) the main consequences (if any) for the individual if all or part of the information is not provided.
If SAUG collects personal information about an individual from someone else, SAUG will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the individual has been made aware of the matters listed from (i) – (vi) above.
Use and disclosure
SAUG will only use personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected. For example, personal information will only be used for SAUG administration and operational matters and will not be disclosed externally to the SAUG without the consent of the individual concerned. SAUG will only use or disclose personal information about an individual for a purpose other than the primary purpose (the secondary purpose) of collection if:
(a)
(i) the secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose of collection; and
(ii) the individual would reasonably expect SAUG to use or disclose the information for the secondary purpose.
(b) the individual has consented to the use or disclosure;
(c) the use or disclosure is required or authorised by or under law;
(d) SAUG reasonably believes that the use or disclosure is reasonably necessary for one or more of the following by or on behalf of an enforcement body:
(i) the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of criminal offences, breaches of a law imposing a penalty or sanction or breaches of a prescribed law:
(ii) the enforcement of laws relating to the confiscation of the proceeds of crime;
(iii) the protection of the public revenue;
(iv) the prevention, detection, investigation or remedying of seriously improper conduct or prescribed conduct;
(v) the preparation for, or conduct of, proceedings before any court or tribunal, or implementation of the orders of a court or tribunal.
(e) SAUG event attendees consent to the processing of their personal data in accordance with the terms of SAUG event Privacy Statements. This includes that SAUG may collect, store and use any personal data voluntarily provided by attendees on the SAUG websites and aggregate it with other personal data that attendees have provided to SAUG at earlier occasions by the methods and for the purposes described in the Event Privacy Statements. Attendees acknowledge and accept that SAUG in processing their personal data may also disclose their personal data to SAP ANZ, for the purpose of contacting me in relation to SAP products and services. Attendees acknowledge that SAUG may further track my use of SAUG’s websites and aggregate it with their personal data. Attendees acknowledge that they can at any time request information on their personal data held by SAUG, update and correct such data at https://www.saug.com.au/myaccount and withdraw their consent given hereby by contacting SAUG at admin@saug.com. All data will be controlled by SAP Australian User Group Inc. This is applicable for Australian and NZ residents only
Data quality
SAUG will all take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information collected, used or disclosed is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
Data Security
SAUG will take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. SAUG may store personal information in various secure electronic storage facilities and paper-based files.
SAUG will also take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if it is no longer needed for any purpose for which the information may be used or disclosed.

(f) providing access would be unlawful;
(g) denying access is required or authorised by or under law;
(h) providing access would be likely to prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity;

(ii) the protection of the public revenue;
