Privacy Policy
Introduction
-
This Privacy Policy is Celebrate WA’s official online privacy policy and it applies to all personal information collected by Celebrate WA. In this policy we explain how and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, and what controls you have over our use of it.
-
Celebrate WA is committed to complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in relation to the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information. We are dedicated to protecting and safeguarding your privacy when you deal with us.
Collection of Information
-
Some information provided to us by clients, customers, contractors and other third parties might be considered private or personal. Without these details we may not be able to carry on our business and provide our services to you. We will only collect personal information if it is necessary for one of our functions or activities.
-
Personal information may be collected in the following situations:
-
If you contact Celebrate WA, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
-
When you submit your e-mail address to our mailing list.
-
When you purchase goods or services from our website.
-
When you submit a nomination or other application form.
-
At or before the time personal information is collected, we will take reasonable steps to ensure you are aware of:
-
who we are;
-
that you are able to gain access to the information we hold about you;
-
the purpose of collection;
-
the types of organisations to which we usually disclose the information;
-
any laws requiring collection of the information; and
-
the main consequences for you if all or part of the information is not provided.
Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
-
We may use or disclose personal information for the primary purpose for which it is collected (for example: provision and administration of our services, ticketing transactions, communications about program updates, or record-keeping).
-
We may also use or disclose information for a related secondary purpose where it would reasonably be expected by you, or where you have consented.
-
Personal information may be disclosed without consent in circumstances permitted by law, including where:
-
we reasonably believe it is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious threat to life, health or safety;
-
unlawful activity is suspected and disclosure is necessary for investigation or reporting;
-
required under law (e.g. subpoena, court order, legal process);
-
disclosure is reasonably necessary for law enforcement purposes.
-
Celebrate WA will never sell or receive payment for licensing or disclosing your personal information.

Our website may contain links to other websites. Celebrate WA is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of linked websites. We encourage users to read the privacy statements of any third party websites that collect personally identifiable information.
Security and Storage
-
Celebrate WA places great importance on the security of all information associated with our customers, clients and contractors.
-
Personal information is de-identified or securely destroyed when no longer required. Some information (such as financial records) may be retained for a period required by law (e.g. up to 7 years for accounting purposes).
-
Celebrate WA retains the information you provide to us (including contact details and transaction records) on secure servers in controlled facilities.
-
Access to our computer systems is restricted to authorised personnel.
-
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as fully secure. While Celebrate WA strives to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to or from us online, and you do so at your own risk. Once received, we make every effort to ensure its security within our systems.
-
You are responsible for keeping your account details and passwords confidential.

If information we hold is inaccurate, we will correct it upon receiving advice from you. For confidentiality, access will only be provided once we are satisfied the information relates to you.
-
If we refuse to provide access or correct information, we will provide reasons for our decision.
