1. PROTECTING YOUR PRIVACY

1.1. We are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), except in relation to our activities carried out in the course of journalism. The APPs and this Privacy Policy set out the standards of protection you can expect in respect of your personal information.

1.2. Throughout this Privacy Policy, we refer to your ‘personal information’, which means information which identifies you as an individual or which renders you reasonably identifiable. Your full name, gender, date of birth, home address, home telephone number, mobile telephone number, email address and workplace contact details are examples of information which may constitute personal information. Personal information may also include information we may collect about your individual preferences.

1.3. In addition to the provisions of this Privacy Policy, there may also be specific and additional privacy and consent provisions that apply to certain Collection Channels. Because those specific and additional provisions also relate to your privacy protection, we recommend that you review them wherever they appear. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Privacy Policy and those other specific and additional provisions, the specific and additional provisions will prevail.

1.4. By accessing and using Websites or by submitting personal information to us via a Collection Channel, you consent to us using and disclosing your personal information in the ways described in this Privacy Policy.

2.  JOURNALISM EXCEPTION

  • 2.1 As a media organisation, the APPs do not apply to our activities carried out in the course of journalism. However, we are still committed to protecting your privacy when undertaking such activities.
