We do not collect sensitive information (such as health details) for the subscriber list.

2. How do we collect your personal information?

We collect this information directly from you when you:

We collect your personal information for the primary purpose of adding you to our subscriber list so we can send you:

• Updates about Brisbane Ballet performances, events, and ticket information
• News about classes, workshops, auditions, and community programs
• Other announcements relevant to our ballet and dance activities

We will only use and disclose your information for this purpose (or a directly related secondary purpose) unless you consent otherwise or we are required / authorised by law to do so.

We do not use your information for unrelated marketing of third-party products or services.

You can opt out / unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send or contacting us directly.

We will remove you from the list as soon as practicable (usually within a few business days).

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

• Trusted service providers (e.g., Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor or similar) who assist us in managing the subscriber list
• If required or authorised by law

Your information is not sent overseas unless our email service provider stores data in overseas servers. In such cases, we take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient handles the information in line with Australian privacy laws.

6. How do we hold and protect your information?
