Privacy Policy

At Australian Dance Theatre, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information by complying with the obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act). Personal information is information about you, such as your name, contact details and records of your dealings with us. Australian Dance Theatre recognises the essential right of individuals to have their information administered in ways which they would reasonably expect – protected on one hand, and made accessible to them on the other.

Purposes for handling personal information

We collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:

  • to interact with you

  • to carry out transactions with you, such as to process payments and donations received by you

  • to assess your eligibility to access any of our programs or events

  • to maintain our business records

  • to seek donations or sponsorship

  • to provide you with information about activities, events and products that may be of interest to you

  • any purpose required or permitted by law

  • any purpose disclosed to you and to which you have consented

  • any purpose that you would otherwise reasonably expect, and

  • otherwise to run our business.

Collection

We collect personal information from our customers, members, donors, supporters, business contacts, and other individuals with whom we deal. We only collect personal information by lawful and fair means. We will collect your personal information through our interactions with you, such as where you purchase a ticket to a performance, where we communicate by telephone, mail, email, or when you enter your personal information on our website. In some cases, where it would be unreasonable or impracticable to obtain your personal information directly from you, we will seek to obtain it from a publicly available source, or a third party.

Collection of data from third parties

We will endeavour to let you know where we collect personal information from third parties or public sources. We may collect your personal information through ticket purchases via agencies and venues hosting our performances.

Disclosure

We will not sell, share or rent any of your person information to third parties, except as specified in this Privacy Policy, or for a purpose that you would reasonably expect, that is required or permitted by law, or for which you have provided consent. We may disclose your personal information to third parties, such as:

  • our service providers, including IT services, insurers, financial institutions, mailing houses, etc

  • our related companies, member organisations and other business partners

  • our professional advisers, including lawyers, accountants and auditors

  • government, regulatory and law enforcement authorities

  • your agents and representatives.

We hold most of our personal information from our secure server from our offices in Adelaide, Australia, protecting it from unauthorised access.

Access

Our data relationship is driven by you and we will endeavour to assist you in exercising your rights over personal information. At any time you can request to:

  • opt-out of marketing communications from us;

  • access your personal information we currently hold; and

  • amend personal information we hold which is incorrect or out of date.

We will respond to all requests for access. On the rare occasions when we refuse access, we will provide you with a written notice stating our reasons for refusing access and the provisions of the Privacy Act on which we rely to refuse access.

If you wish to gain access to the information that we hold about you, you may contact us at:

Accuracy

We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that we collect, hold and use is accurate, up-to-date and complete, and that the personal information that we disclose to third parties is also relevant. As such, we encourage you to contact us if you believe that any of the personal information that we hold about you is inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. You may request that we correct such personal information by contacting us on the details provided above.

We will respond to all requests to correct your personal information. We are not obliged to correct any of your personal information if we do not agree that it requires correction and we may refuse to do so. If we refuse, we will provide you with a written notice explaining the basis for our refusal.

Security

We hold your personal information in both paper-based and electronic files. Electronic information is stored on secure servers. We seek to ensure that personal information that we hold is protected from misuse, interference and loss caused by unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. Our employees are obliged to treat any personal information held by us confidentially.

Marketing

We may use the personal information that we hold about you, including your contact details, to provide you with information about activities, events and products that may be of interest to you, or to seek donations or support for our activities. You may opt out of receiving all or certain types of marketing information from us at any time by contacting us on the details provided below.
