Your Local Guide to Perth and Western Australia

Perth Local recognises the importance of protecting the privacy and the rights of individuals in relation to their personal information. This document is our privacy policy and it tells you how we collect and manage your personal information. We respect your rights to privacy under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Act) and we comply with all of the Act’s requirements in respect of the collection, management and disclosure of your personal information.

When used in this privacy policy, the term “personal information” has the meaning given to it in the Act. In general terms, it is any information that can be used to personally identify you. This may include your name, address, telephone number, email address and profession or occupation. If the information we collect personally identifies you, or you are reasonably identifiable from it, the information will be considered personal information.

CHILDREN’S DATA

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA

The security of your information is important to Perth Local, but it is imperative to note that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is always 100% secure.

Personal Data is kept in a secured database and always sent out by means of an encrypted SSL method when supported by your web browser.
