Who we are

The Sydney Olympic Peninsula Multicultural Community Association ("SOPMCA", "we", "our") is a non-profit community association based in Wentworth Point, NSW, Australia. You can contact us at sopmca.info@gmail.com.

Information we collect

We only collect personal information that you give us directly, including:

• Your name and email address when you contact us, volunteer, or register for an event.
• Any message content you choose to send through our contact form or by email.
• Optional information you provide (phone number, languages spoken, availability) when joining as a volunteer.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent.

How we use it

• To respond to your enquiries and contact-form messages.
• To coordinate volunteer activities and event registrations.
• To send occasional updates about SOPMCA programs, only to people who have asked to receive them.
• To meet our legal and reporting obligations as a community association.

Who we share it with

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited information with trusted partners (such as a venue, council, or grant funder) when it is necessary to deliver a specific program, and only the minimum required.

We use reputable third-party services for hosting our website and managing email communications. These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy terms.

Cookies and analytics

Our website uses a small number of essential cookies needed for the site to work. We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are popular; this data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Photos at our events

We sometimes take photos at SOPMCA events to share community moments on our website and social media. If you would prefer not to appear in event photos, please let an organiser know on the day or email us, and we will respect your wishes.

Your rights

You can ask us at any time to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop sending you communications. Email sopmca.info@gmail.com and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
