Privacy policy

Please note that separate policies apply to the use of sites that are available through the Website but are not operated by NetFM directly.

YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT

NetFM recognises that your privacy is very important to you and that you have a right to control your personal information. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that seriously. Unless you give us explicit consent to act otherwise, the following policies will govern how NetFM handles your personal information and safeguards your privacy.

PRIVACY STANDARDS

NetFM is committed to protecting your personal information and giving you choice in who can use your personal information and how it can be used. We believe that our privacy policy represents industry best practice.

NetFM is already committed to complying with the voluntary National Principles for the Fair Handling of Personal Information developed by the Australian Federal Privacy Commissioner in 1998 [see the Australian Privacy Commissioner's website]. NetFM will comply with any laws introduced to strengthen protections for consumers' privacy.

NetFM will not collect or monitor any personal information about you without your consent unless we believe it is necessary:

You may provide NetFM with information directly, such as through subscribing to email lists or identifying yourself when using particular services. The amount of information we collect about you depends on how you use the Website. The only personal information we collect is what you tell us about yourself, for example by subscribing to the Website , email updates on various upcoming live events.
