Scope This document specifies minimum requirements for the responsible and privacy-preserving collection, access, use, sharing and storage of personal information by organisations delivering community and human services. This Standard serves as a guide to help nonprofit organisations and funders engage with their data in ethical and equitable ways and to advance the culture of data collection, access, use, sharing storage in the sector. This document is also applicable to nonprofit organisations that are typically small to medium-sized organisations that work within the constraints of smaller teams and a larger breadth of responsibilities in job roles. Considerations are given to: • relevant guidelines and practices for data equity; • client/beneficiary and donor data; • data governance and management practices; • privacy regulations and other applicable legislation; • relevant ethical guidelines and practices; and • requirements for service providers, funders, and technology vendors.
