Privacy Policy

Preston Symphony Orchestra is an adventurous, committed and friendly orchestra based in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. It provides the opportunity for musicians and audience members to play and hear orchestral music of a high standard.

Purpose

This policy outlines the approach to privacy by the Preston Symphony Orchestra (PSO) that informs how it collects and stores Personal Information.

Scope

This policy applies to all personal information, defined as information or opinion that identifies you as an individual. This may be collected whilst performing with, attending a performance of, volunteering with, or donating to the PSO.

Applicable Law

As the Preston Symphony Orchestra is a registered charity, this policy is constructed to comply with the guidelines of the Australian Charity and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC). PSO’s turnover is not in excess of $3 million, meaning the Privacy Act does not apply; however, this policy draws upon the Australian Privacy Principles to ensure a best practice approach.

Principles of Approach

In managing your Personal Information (Data), PSO aims to operate under four principles:

  1. Data minimisation.
  2. Data security.
  3. Data disclosure.
  4. Data deletion.

Data Minimisation

PSO will minimise the amount of Data that it collects.

Data Security

PSO will endeavour to ensure that your Data is stored safely, which can take many forms, including limiting access to PSO archives and limiting access by other services utilised by PSO.

Data Disclosure

PSO will only share your Data where necessary to enable its operation, for example to PSO Committee Members, venues and ticketing services. We will never sell your Data to a third party.

Data Deletion

Upon request, PSO will delete Data if it no longer required for audit or compliance purposes.

Complaints Handling

If you feel that your Data has been mishandled, this may be escalated to the President of the PSO via info@prestonsymphony.org.au.
