Privacy Policy

1.    Introduction

Brisbane Northside Light & Sound (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

2.    Collection of Personal Information

We collect personal information that is necessary for our business functions and activities. This may include:

• Name
• Contact details (e.g., email address, phone number)
• Payment information
• Any other information you provide to us

We collect personal information directly from you when you interact with our website, use our services, or communicate with us.

3.    Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

We use your personal information to:

• Provide and manage our services
• Process payments
• Communicate with you
• Improve our website and services
• Comply with legal obligations

We may disclose your personal information to:

• Service providers who assist us in our business operations
• Regulatory authorities, if required by law
• Any other third parties with your consent

4.    Comments

• When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
• An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

5.    How long we retain your data

• If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
• For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information

6.    Security of Personal Information

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. This includes implementing security measures such as encryption, access controls, and secure storage.

7.    Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

8.    Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

9.    Access to and Correction of Personal Information

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if you believe it is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading. To make a request, please contact us using the details provided below.

10.          Anonymity and Pseudonymity

Where practicable, we will provide you with the option to interact with us anonymously or using a pseudonym. However, in some cases, it may not be possible to provide our services without identifying you.

11.          Cross-Border Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to overseas recipients, including service providers located outside Australia. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas recipients comply with the APPs or are subject to laws that offer similar protection.

12.          Direct Marketing

We may use your personal information to send you marketing communications about our products and services. You can opt-out of receiving marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in the communication or by contacting us directly.

13.          Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The updated policy will be posted on our website, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
