ongoing obligations to you in respect of how we manage your Personal

We have adopted the
Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)
(the Privacy Act). The NPPs govern the way in which we collect, use, disclose,
store, secure and dispose of your Personal Information.

Personal
Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual.

addresses, phone and facsimile numbers.
This Personal
Information is obtained in many ways including by email, via our website www.artistically.com.au,
from media and publications, from other publicly available sources, from
cookies and from third parties. We
don’t guarantee website links or policy of authorised third parties.
We collect your
Personal Information for the primary purpose of providing our services to you,
providing information to our clients and marketing. We may also use your
Personal Information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary
purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or
disclosure. You may unsubscribe from our mailing/marketing lists at any time by
contacting us in writing.
When we collect
Personal Information we will, where appropriate and where possible, explain to
you why we are collecting the information and how we plan to use it.
Sensitive
information is defined in the Privacy Act to include information or opinion
about such things as an individual's racial or ethnic origin, political
opinions, membership of a political association, religious or philosophical
beliefs, membership of a trade union or other professional body, criminal
record or health information.
Sensitive
information will be used by us only:
• For the primary purpose for which it
was obtained
• For a secondary purpose that is
directly related to the primary purpose
• With your consent; or where required
or authorised by law.
Where reasonable
and practicable to do so, we will collect your Personal Information only from
you. However, in some circumstances we may be provided with information by
third parties. In such a case we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you
are made aware of the information provided to us by the third party.
Your Personal
Information may be disclosed in a number of circumstances including the
following:
• Third parties where you consent to
the use or disclosure; and
• Where required or authorised by law.
Your Personal
Information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse and
loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.
When your Personal
Information is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was obtained, we
will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your Personal
Information. However, most of the Personal Information is or will be stored in
client files which will be kept by us for a minimum of 7 years.
Information that we
collect may from time to time be stored, processed in or transferred between
parties located in countries outside of Australia.
This website and its
data is stored in the US.
You may access the
Personal Information we hold about you and to update and/or correct it, subject
to certain exceptions. If you wish to access your Personal Information, please
contact us in writing.
ArtisticAlly will
not charge any fee for your access request, but may charge an administrative
fee for providing a copy of your Personal Information.
In order to protect
your Personal Information we may require identification from you before
releasing the requested information.
It is an important
to us that your Personal Information is up to date. We will take reasonable
steps to make sure that your Personal Information is accurate, complete and
up-to-date. If you find that the information we have is not up to date or is
inaccurate, please advise us as soon as practicable so we can update our
records and ensure we can continue to provide quality services to you.
