On-Line Privacy Policy
The Federal Association of Teachers of Dancing and the Penny De Kauwe School of Dancing Canberra jointly promoting the National Capital Dancesport Championships (referred to from here as the NCDC Organisation) is committed to ensuring your personal information is protected. The NCDC Organisation understands and appreciates you are concerned about your privacy and about the confidentiality and security of information we may collect about you. This Privacy Policy Statement will explain how we go about treating your personal information.
In addition to this Privacy Policy Statement, there may also be specific and additional privacy provisions, which apply to our collection and use of your personal information e.g. information provided when entering a competition, subscribing to a newsletter, or participating in a survey. If there is any inconsistency between this Privacy Policy Statement and those specific and additional provisions, the specific and additional provisions will prevail.
The information we collect about you
The types of personal information we collect about you will depend on what services you use or products you acquire. This may include collecting your name and address, your email address, your contact address, credit card details and, where you have the option to comment on our services or products, whatever other information you choose to supply to us.
In particular, the information that we collect about you will depend on the functions that you use within the Site. We will not collect any information which identifies you as an individual unless you knowingly provide it to us. Any personal information you supply will only be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you browse the Site, read or download information, our system will record the date and time of your visit, the pages viewed and the information downloaded.
How we use your information and whom we may disclose it to
The information that we collect about you is used to help you access the services or acquire the goods that the NCDC provides more easily. The information we collect from you is strictly confidential. We do not sell, rent, loan, trade or lease the addresses stored in our database to any third parties. We may disclose the personal information, other information or data we collect from you if:
- You give us your consent.
- You would reasonably expect us to disclose it for another purpose, and that other purpose is related to the purpose specified to you at the time of collection.
In this way we may use your information to send you out promotional material, which you may find of interest. If you do not wish to receive any of this material you may simply send us a contact note via this website or via email to request to "unsubscribe" from our mailing lists and no further material will be sent to you.
Access and Contact
Any personal information that we collect about customers including email addresses will be kept in a database of the NCDC.
Our security procedures
Once we receive personal information from you, we take all reasonable steps to ensure that all information we collect, use or disclose is accurate, up to date and stored in a secure environment and accessed only by authorised persons.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Accordingly, although the NCDC Organisation strives to protect such information, the NCDC Organisation cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from our online products or services and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we take reasonable steps to preserve the security of information on our own system. From time to time this web-site may contain links to other websites, and the NCDC Organisation is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these websites.
