Personal information is any information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who can be reasonably identified from the information or opinion. Information or an opinion may be personal information regardless of whether it is true.

We collect information about you and your interactions with us, for example, when you purchase or use any of our products or services, call us, or otherwise visit our website. The information we collect from you may include your identity and contact details, your history of purchases and use of our products and services and details of enquiries or complaints you make.

• Clients and prospective clients

When you enquire about our services or when you become our client, a record is made which includes your personal information.  The type of personal information that we collect will vary depending on the circumstances of collection and the kind of service that you request from us, but will typically include:

• your name, e-mail, postal address and other contact details; and

Sometimes, we might also collect health information about you.  Please refer to clause 4 for more information on how and why we collect your health information.

• Prospective employees or applicants

We collect personal information when recruiting personnel, such as your name, contact details, qualifications and work history. Generally, we will collect this information directly from you.

We may also collect personal information from third parties in ways which you would expect (for example, from recruitment agencies or referees you have nominated). Before offering you a position, we may collect additional details such as your tax file number and superannuation information and other information necessary to conduct background checks to determine your suitability.

• Other individuals

We may collect personal information about other individuals who are not our clients. This includes customers and members of the public who participate in events we are involved with, individual service providers and contractors, and other individuals who interact with us on a commercial basis. The kinds of personal information we collect will depend on the capacity in which you are dealing with us. Generally, it would include your name, contact details, and information regarding our interactions and transactions with you. 

If you are participating in an event we are managing or delivering, we may take images or audio-visual recordings which identify you

Health information is a special type of personal information and means information or an opinion about:

• the health or a disability of an individual; or
• an individual’s expressed wishes about the future provision of health services; or
• a health service provided to an individual.

We only use your health information to:

• provide you with the best possible service, by ensuring we understand your needs and abilities when participating in our classes.

We will only disclose your health information:

• for the same purpose we collected it from you;
• if the disclosure is directly related to a purpose that you would reasonably expect;
• if the disclosure required by law;
• if the disclosure is necessary to prevent a serious threat to life, health or safety and it’s not practical to get your consent; or
• if you agree to it.

5. Why do we collect, hold and use your personal information?  

We collect, hold and use your personal information so that we can:

• provide you with products and services, and manage our relationship with you; contact you, for example, to respond to your queries or complaints, or if we need to tell you something important;
• manage, plan, advertise and administer programs, events, competitions and performances;
• research, develop and expand our facilities and services;
• inform you of our activities, events, facilities and services;
• comply with our legal obligations and assist government and law enforcement agencies or regulators; or

We will collect your personal information directly from you whenever you interact with us, such as when you sign up with us.  We may collect and update your personal information over the phone, by email, over the internet or social media, or in person.

7. How do we store and hold personal and health information?  

We store most information about you in computer systems and databases operated by either us or our external service providers. Some information about you is recorded in paper files that we store securely.

We implement and maintain processes and security measures to protect personal and health information which we hold from misuse, interference or loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

These processes and systems include:

• the use of identity and access management technologies to control access to systems on which information is processed and stored;
• requiring all employees to comply with internal information security policies and keep information secure;
• requiring all employees to complete training about information security; and
• monitoring and regularly reviewing our practice against our own policies and against industry best practice.

We will also take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify personal information once we no longer require it for the purposes for which it was collected or for any secondary purpose permitted under the APPs.

8. Who do we disclose your personal information to, and why?  

We may disclose personal information to external service providers so that they may perform services for us or on our behalf.

We may also disclose your personal information to others where:

• we are required or authorised by law to do so;
• you may have expressly consented to the disclosure or the consent may be reasonably inferred from the circumstances; or
• we are otherwise permitted to disclose the information under the Privacy Act.

If the ownership or control of all or part of our business changes, we may transfer your personal information to the new owner.

9. Do we disclose personal information to overseas recipients?  

We may disclose your personal information to a recipient which is located outside Australia.

In the event that we do disclose your personal information to a recipient located outside Australia, we will take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles (other than Australian Privacy Principle 1) in relation to that information, except where this is not required by law.

10. Do we use your personal information for marketing?  

We will use your personal information to offer you products and services we believe may interest you, but we will not do so if you tell us not to. These products and services may be offered by us, our related companies, our other business partners or our service providers.

We use information we have collected from our website in accordance with clause 3(d) for marketing purposes, such as the way you interact with our website. 

We also use your personal information for marketing and advertising purposes on Facebook and Instagram, in compliance with the terms and conditions provided by Facebook and Instagram at the relevant time.  This may include, but is not limited to, uploading your personal information (in a secure format) to Facebook for the purpose of creating customised advertising campaigns.

Where you receive electronic marketing communications from us, you may opt out of receiving further marketing communications by following the opt-out instructions provided in the communication.
