Based on the National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000

Anyone who wishes to be removed from our mailing list can do so by contacting us.

1. Collection
1.1   Autonomous Productions will only collect personal information that is necessary for its functions or        activities, i.e. notifying members of upcoming shows and information regarding Autonomous        Productions.
1.2   We will only collect personal information by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonably intrusive        way.
1.3   At or before the time we collect personal information about an individual from the individual, we will take        reasonable steps to ensure that the individual knows:
         (a) that we are collecting the information and how to contact us;
         (b) that he or she has access to the information;
         (c) the purposes for which the information is collected;
         (d) the organisations (or the types of organisations) to which we usually discloses information of that               kind;
         (e) any law that requires the particular information to be collected; and
         (f) the main consequences (if any) for the individual if all or part of the information is not provided.
1.4  If it is reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect personal information about an individual only         from that individual.
1.5  If we collect personal information about an individual from someone else, we will take reasonable steps        to ensure that the individual is or has been made aware of the matters listed in subclause 1.3 except to        the extent that making the individual aware of the matters would pose a serious threat to the life or        health of any individual.

2. Use and disclosure
2.1  We will not use or disclose personal information about an individual for a purpose (the secondary        purpose) other than the primary purpose of collection unless:
         (a) both of the following apply:
              (i) the secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose of collection and, if the personal                   information is sensitive information, directly related to the primary purpose of collection;
              (ii) the individual would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information for the secondary                    purpose; or
         (b) the individual has consented to the use or disclosure; or
         (c) if the information is not sensitive information and the use of the information is for the secondary               purpose of direct marketing:
               (i) it is impracticable for us to seek the individual’s consent before that particular use; and
               (ii) we will not charge the individual for giving effect to a request by the individual to us not to                     receive direct marketing communications; and
               (iii) the individual has not made a request to us to be removed from the marketing database; and
         (iv) in each direct marketing communication with the individual, we prominently display a notice, that               he or she may express a wish not to receive any further direct marketing communications; and
         (v) each written direct marketing communication by us with the individual (up to and including the               communication that involves the use) sets out our business address and telephone number and, if               the communication with the individual is made by fax or other electronic means, a number or               address at which we can be directly contacted electronically.
2.2   If we use or disclose personal information for law enforcement purposes, we will make a written note of         the use or disclosure.
2.3   Subclause 2.1 operates in relation to personal information that we have collected from any related         body as if we had collected it ourselves.

3. Data quality
3.    We will take reasonable steps to make sure that the personal information we collect, use or disclose is        accurate, complete and up-to-date.

4. Data security
4.1   We will take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse and loss and         from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
4.2   We will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if it is no         longer needed for any purpose for which the information may be used or disclosed under Clause 2.

5. Openness
5.1   We will set out in a document clearly expressed policies on its management of personal information.         This document outlines our privacy policy, and is available on our website, or by requesting a copy         through the post or fax.
5.2   On request by a person, we will take reasonable steps to let the person know, generally, what sort of         personal information it holds, for what purposes, and how it collects, holds, uses and discloses that         information.

6. Access and correction
6.1   If we hold personal information about an individual, we will provide the individual with access to the         information on request by the individual, except to the extent that:
            (a) in the case of personal information other than health information—providing access would pose a                  serious and imminent threat to the life or health of any individual; or
            (b) providing access would have an unreasonable impact upon the privacy of other individuals; or
            (c) the request for access is frivolous or vexatious; or
            (d) the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between us and the                  individual, and the information would not be accessible by the process of discovery in those                  proceedings; or
            (e) providing access would reveal the intentions of us in relation to negotiations with the individual in                  such a way as to prejudice those negotiations; or
            (f)  providing access would be unlawful; or
            (g) denying access is required or authorised by or under law; or
            (h) providing access would be likely to prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity; or
            (i)  providing access would be likely to prejudice:
                    (i) the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of criminal offences,                         breaches of a law imposing a penalty or sanction or breaches of a prescribed law; or
                    (ii) the enforcement of laws relating to the confiscation of the proceeds of crime; or
                    (iii) the protection of the public revenue; or
                    (iv) the prevention, detection, investigation or remedying of seriously improper conduct or                          prescribed conduct; or
                    (v)  the preparation for, or conduct of, proceedings before any court or tribunal, or                          implementation of its orders;
                    (vi) by or on behalf of an enforcement body.
            (j) an enforcement body performing a lawful security function asks us not to provide access to the                 information on the basis that providing access would be likely to cause damage to the security of                 Australia.
6.2   However, where providing access would reveal evaluative information generated by us in connection         with a commercially sensitive decision-making process, we will give the individual an explanation for         the commercially sensitive decision rather than direct access to the information.
6.3   If we are not required to provide the individual with access to the information because of one or more of         paragraphs 6.1(a) to (j) (inclusive), we will, if reasonable, consider whether the use of mutually agreed         intermediaries would allow sufficient access to meet the needs of both parties.
6.4   Charges for providing access to personal information will not be excessive and will not apply to lodging         a request for access.
6.5   If we hold personal information about an individual and the individual is able to establish that the         information is not accurate, complete and up-to-date, we will take reasonable steps to correct the         information so that it is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
6.6   If an individual disagrees about whether the information is accurate, complete and up-to-date, we will         associate with the information a statement claiming that the individual disagrees.
6.7   We will provide reasons for denial of access or a refusal to correct personal information.

7. Identifiers
7.     Autonomous Productions does not record any government identifiers of individuals, including the         pension or concession numbers of members.

8. Anonymity

8.     Wherever it is lawful and practicable, individuals have the option of not identifying themselves when         entering transactions with Autonomous Productions.

9. Transborder data flows
9.     Autonomous Productions guarantees not to give personal information to any third party except for         authorised use on our behalf.

10. Sensitive information
10.    Autonomous Productions will not usually collect 'sensitive information' about customers. In the rare         cases where the collection of sensitive information may be required in order to carry out our business         or provide the required level of customer service, we undertake to keep that information secure, and         not to use it for any secondary purpose without explicit consent.
