2. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected, held, used or disclosed by AWV and must be complied with by all employees, contractors and other persons who handle personal information on our behalf.

3. What is personal information?
Personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information is true or not and whether recorded in a material form or not. Personal information may be collected directly from you or from third parties where lawful.

– managing and improving our services;
– administration, billing and debt recovery;
– recruitment and engagement processes; and

We may also collect, use or disclose personal information where required or authorised by law, or with your consent.
5. What personal information do we collect?
5.1 General collection
The type of personal information we collect depends on the nature of your interaction with AWV and may include:
– name, address, email address and telephone number;
– information about organisations you represent;
– details of transactions and interactions with AWV; and
– information you provide to us voluntarily.
You may choose not to provide personal information, however this may limit our ability to provide services to you.

If you are a supplier, we may collect information such as your name, business contact details, billing information and records of goods or services supplied.
5.4 Events and recordings
If you participate in an event delivered or managed by AWV, we may take photographs or audio-visual recordings that identify you. Where practicable, notice will be provided.
5.5 Sensitive information
AWV does not generally collect sensitive information. Where sensitive information is collected, it will only be where:
– you have given explicit consent; and
– the information is reasonably necessary for AWV’s functions or required by law.
6. Employee records
This Privacy Policy does not apply to employee records where the handling of personal information is directly related to the employment relationship, as permitted under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
7. How we collect and hold personal information
We generally collect personal information directly from you via phone, email, online forms, contracts, transactions, social media or in person. We may also collect personal information from third parties or publicly available sources where lawful.
If we receive unsolicited personal information, we will determine whether it could have been collected under the APPs. If not, we will destroy or de-identify it where lawful and practicable. Personal information is stored in secure electronic systems and physical files, including with trusted third-party service providers. We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
While no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, AWV takes reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the information to protect personal information transmitted online. We take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify personal information when it is no longer required.
8. Internet use and cookies
You may visit AWV websites without identifying yourself. If you provide personal information online, it will be managed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Our websites use cookies to improve functionality and user experience. You may control cookies through your browser settings, noting this may affect website functionality.
Our websites may contain links to third-party websites. AWV is not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.
9. Use and disclosure of personal information
AWV uses and discloses personal information for the purposes for which it was collected, or where otherwise permitted by law.
We may disclose personal information to:
– service providers and contractors engaged to assist in delivering our services;
– clients, venues and stakeholders where reasonably necessary; and
– related or affiliated companies of AWV.
Direct marketing
AWV may use personal information to send direct marketing communications where you have consented or where you would reasonably expect us to do so. All marketing communications include a functional unsubscribe mechanism.
AWV complies with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). You may opt out of marketing communications at any time, free of charge.
10. Anonymity and pseudonymity
You may deal with AWV anonymously or using a pseudonym where lawful and practicable. We may require identification where required by law or where it is impracticable to do otherwise.
11. Overseas disclosure of personal information
Some of our service providers may be located overseas. Where personal information is disclosed to overseas recipients, AWV takes reasonable steps to ensure the recipient complies with the APPs or is subject to substantially similar privacy protections, unless an exception under APP 8 applies.
12. Access and correction
You may request access to personal information held by AWV by contacting our Privacy Officer. Requests will be handled within a reasonable time. You may request correction of personal information if you believe it is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. We will take reasonable steps to correct the information or explain why correction is refused.
13. Complaints
If you have a concern about how AWV has handled your personal information, you may contact our Privacy Officer. We will investigate and respond within a reasonable period. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
