St Matthew’s uses the software platform provider Elvanto to store parishioners’ personal information, including names and contact details. This information is stored on a server located in Australia and is handled by Elvanto in compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988. We book events through an Australian-based company named TryBooking, and use the Sydney office of an American-based company Tithe.ly to process credit card donations to St Matthew’s. Both TryBooking and Tithe.ly use an American-based secure online payment system named Stripe to process your donations and event payments. Stripe’s subcontracted service providers are predominantly located in the European Union and the USA. Parish Council is reasonably satisfied that Elvanto, TryBooking, Tithe.ly and Stripe have adequate privacy protection policies and that appropriate privacy protection laws apply in the countries in which your personal information may be transmitted. If you have concerns or would like further information, please contact us at office@stmattswanniassa.org.au.
