Who we are
In this Privacy and Information Handling Policy, we’, ‘us’, ‘our’ and ‘InsurePride’ refers to InsurePride Australia Incorporated (INC2400660).
Our website address is: https://www.insurepride.com.
This policy outlines the information we collect, when and how we collect it, how we handle it, and how you can request a copy of your information or request its removal.
What data is collected
What information we collect and store is dependent on how you engage with InsurePride. It will vary depending on whether you are a member of InsurePride, have attended events hosted by InsurePride, registered for our mailing list, have made enquiries to us about our association, or participated in any research.
For members that have registered with InsurePride, we may collect the following information to support your membership:
- Full Name
- Company you are employed or are associated with
- What insurance category you work within, or what affiliated industry you work in
- Email Address
- Location (State)
- Date you joined InsurePride
If requesting the removal of your membership with InsurePride, we will note the date membership ceased but may still maintain information regarding the company and insurance segment, state and join date. But we will de-identify personal details such as full name and email.
We may also hold limited personal information you provide in response to an event registration and when enquiring about InsurePride or sponsorship.
If attending an in-person event, we may store information regarding dietary requirements or adjustments for disabilities in order to accommodate needs.
Sensitive information Collection
As we are specifically an LGBTQIA+ Association for the insurance industry, we may additionally ask for census and demographical information such as sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status. This is for the purposes of statistical investigation or development of InsurePride, but these will always be optional and anonymous, and not associated with your personal details.

We may collect personal information from you across various mediums, including when you:
- Become a member of InsurePride;

What we do with that data
Personal information is collected for the sole purpose of facilitating membership and engagement with InsurePride. This may include:
- contacting members about upcoming events and meetings;

If you request not to receive notifications or communications, please note that we will still contact you in relation to our on-going relationship with you such as administering membership, or if you hold a sponsorship/partnership with us.
We may contact you to offer new options for how you can receive membership and communications as we migrate to newer systems, and may contact you to ask about your communication preferences.
If you cease your membership with InsurePride, you will no longer receive any communications unless you re-subscribe.
Who we share your data with
Co-Leads of InsurePride have access to this information as well as historical information at any time.
From time to time, we may provide high-level information regarding engagement from industries to our community partners, but this is always anonymised. If you do not want your participation in InsurePride known to community partners (such as ACON), please advise when you join or at any time.
How we store your data
We store all data securely on Australian hosted servers and data centres with ISO 27001 certifications.
InsurePride will hold your information for a period of time if membership with InsurePride ceases for the purposes of any reasonable contact. If that is no longer required, data is de-identified and personal information is removed.
