We will provide you with the opportunity to remain anonymous or use a pseudonym in your dealings with us where it is lawful and practicable (e.g. when making a general enquiry). Generally, it is not practicable for us to interact with you anonymously or pseudonymously on an ongoing basis. If we do not collect personal information about you, you may be unable to utilise our services or participate in the events, programs and activities we manage and deliver.
How do we collect your personal information?
We can collect your personal information either directly from you or from third parties. We may collect your personal information in the following ways:
you or your representative provide us with your personal information through our website, on the telephone or in person;
it is provided to us by a third party who is authorised to provide it to us;
you communicate with us by mail, email, telephone or messaging services, or you share information with us through third party social applications, services or websites; or
you interact with us via our website or marketing communications, engage us to provide a service, attend one of our events or visit one of our locations.
In addition, when you apply for a job with us we may collect certain information from you (including your name, contact details, working history and relevant records checks), from recruitment consultants, your previous employers and others who may be able to assist us in deciding on whether to make you an offer of employment or engage you under a contract. However, this Policy does not apply to employee records of our current and former employees, which are exempt from the Act.
Why do we collect, use and disclose your personal information?
We collect, hold, use, and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:
to enable you to access and use our website and services;
to operate, protect, improve and optimise our website and services, business and your experience, such as to perform analytics, conduct research and for advertising and marketing;

The information may be combined in order for either the third party or us to develop anonymised consumer insights so that we can better understand your preferences and interests, personalise your experience and enhance the services that you receive.
Do we use your personal information for direct marketing?
We and our business partners may send you direct marketing communications and information about our services. This may take the form of emails, SMS, mail and other forms of communication.

Using our website and cookies
We may collect personal information about you when you use and access our website.
While we do not use browsing information to identify you personally, we may record certain information about your use of our website, such as the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit and the internet protocol address assigned to your computer.
We may also use cookies or other similar tracking technologies on our website that help us track your website usage and remember your preferences. Cookies are small files that store information on your device. They enable the entity that put the cookie on your device to recognise you across different websites, services, devices and/or browsing sessions.

We may also use cookies to collect data that may include personal information. For example, where a cookie is linked to your account, it is considered to be personal information under the Act. We will handle any personal information collected by cookies in the same way that we handle all other personal information as described in this Policy.
Securing your personal information
We may hold your personal information in either electronic or hard copy form. We will endeavour to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, and loss, as well as unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. In doing so, we use a number of physical, administrative, personnel and technical measures to protect your personal information. For example, we restrict access to our electronic and hard copy files to authorised personnel and use industry-standard encryption to secure access to our electronic files. However, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.
If we suspect that an unauthorised party has gained access to your personal information, we will undertake an assessment of the suspected breach in a timely manner. Where we ascertain that a breach has actually occurred, we will notify you and where required by law, will also notify the Privacy Commissioner.
When possible, we will securely destroy or de-identify personal information which we no longer require.

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Those links are provided for convenience and may not be current or maintained. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of, or any content on, those websites, and have no control over or rights in those websites.
