Collecting personal information

Your personal information may be collected during various interactions with us, including in person, or via online/digital/electronic media.

Your personal information may be collected as part of:

  • our activities in maintaining, exhibiting, and promoting art; for example, from visitors to our exhibitions or participants in our workshops;

  • our commercial operations, such as retail services.

We may collect personal information from you when you: use our website or one of our other digital platforms; make a workshop booking; purchase a painting online; register to receive our newsletter or other communications; make an enquiry or give feedback; or request another service from us.

Purposes for which personal information may be collected, held and used

We will ask for information that is relevant to these activities. In some circumstances, providing information will be optional and we will require only the information that is necessary for us to provide a specific function or service. In other circumstances, if you do not provide the required information with respect to a particular activity, you may not be able to complete your transaction with us, we may not be able to communicate with you or we may be prevented from providing you with the appropriate service.

We may use the information we collect for analysis to help us better understand the people we interact with, individually and collectively, for planning and development purposes.

We may provide marketing communications and targeted advertising to you about events, and other services and products that we think may be of interest to you. We may do this by electronic messages (eg email), online (including websites and mobile apps), and other means, unless or until you opt out or we are subject to legal restrictions.

We use email newsletters to notify subscribers of workshop events or opportunities. You must register for this service.

The type of information we collect

We may also record details of your interactions with us such as participation in particular workshop programs.

Disclosure of your personal information to third parties

In addition to any information required to be disclosed by law, in some instances we may disclose your personal information to our service providers and other third-party suppliers so they can provide services and products to us.

Storage and security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we receive. Information relevant to our activities may be retained and stored in an appropriately secure format in accordance with our obligations under the State Records Act.

Our website uses an encryption technology called SSL to protect any personal information that you provide, including credit card or other payment account details. While every effort is made to secure information transmitted to our website over the internet, there is a possibility that this information could be accessed by a third party while in transit.

The information is used only for statistical analysis and systems administration purposes. No attempt will be made to identify individual users or their browsing activities except if required by law.

In many cases, the tools used on our website record information in a way that does not identify you as an individual. In other cases, information may be personal information in which case this privacy statement and our obligations under the Privacy Act will apply. For example, our website includes several online forms for specific activities including contact forms, and workshop booking forms. The personal information you provide through these is only collected and used for the specified purpose.
