Digital Economy Council of Australia Privacy Policy
This site is owned and operated by Digital Economy Council of Australia (ABN 63 169 053 534). Any information on this website is general and does not take into account your objectives, situation or needs.
This following document sets forth the Privacy Policy for Digital Economy Council of Australia’s website, deca.org.au.
Digital Economy Council of Australia is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), which sets out a number of principles concerning the privacy of individuals.
Collection of your personal information
You can access most of this website without providing personal information. However, when you contact us, apply for membership, register for an event, subscribe to updates, or engage with our initiatives, you may be asked to provide personal details. This may include your name, job title, organisation, email address, phone number or other relevant information. We may also collect information that is publicly available or supplied to us by trusted third parties in connection with your role or business.
We collect personal information so that we can respond to your enquiries, manage your participation in DECA activities, provide services and updates, deliver publications, and communicate about matters relevant to our work and the digital economy.
Sharing and disclosure of your personal information
DECA respects your privacy and does not sell personal information. In some cases, we may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in delivering services or running our operations. These may include technology providers, contractors, legal or financial advisers, and event managers.
Where DECA activities are delivered in partnership with sponsors or collaborators, your registration or engagement may involve sharing your information with those partners. This allows them to communicate with you about the activity or to provide information related to their services. This is clearly disclosed at the point of registration. All partners and providers are expected to comply with appropriate privacy and confidentiality obligations.
We may also disclose your personal information where required or permitted by law. This may include compliance with legal requests, regulatory reporting, or cooperation with government and enforcement bodies.
Use of your personal information
We use the information we collect to support our relationship with you and to administer DECA programs, services and events. This includes responding to your requests, managing registrations and memberships, sending updates, and informing you of opportunities or developments relevant to your interests or your professional role.
Personal information may also be used for administrative purposes, reporting, compliance and evaluation. Non-identifiable technical information about website visits may be used to improve the performance and experience of our digital platforms.
From time to time, DECA may update how we use personal information in line with new services or organisational needs. If this occurs, we will update this Privacy Policy to reflect those changes.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
DECA may amend this Privacy Policy when necessary to reflect changes in legislation, technology or operational requirements. The most recent version will always be available on our website with the date it came into effect. By continuing to interact with us after any updates are made, you accept the terms of the revised policy.
Accessing Your Personal Information
You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. You may also ask us to correct any information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. If you wish to make a request, please contact us at hello@deca.org.au.
