VCET will only use an individual’s personal information for the primary purpose for which it was given and/or is required by the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic). At the time of collection, using a Collection Notice, VCET will take reasonable steps to ensure that it makes an individual aware of how the information collected will be used.
Secondarily, Personal Information that is collected by VCET may be disclosed to VCET employees and relevant service providers whose duties require them to use, protect and handle an individual’s information in accordance with the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic) and any other applicable legislation regulating the collection, use, disclosure, storage and disposal of personal, sensitive or health information.
Personal Information provided by an individual will not be used and/or disclosed by VCET for any purpose other than for the purposes of the transaction entered into unless such a disclosure is required or authorised by the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 or another law, for example, law enforcement purposes or to reduce the threat of harm.
VCET may engage external suppliers to assist it in its activities (for example, for marketing purposes), and may provide an individual’s information to them to achieve this. VCET will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that third party suppliers keep an individual’s information confidential.
VCET does not sell or share its databases with any third party but may share information about events with other government departments responsible for tourism, the arts or events within the State of Victoria.
VCET does not use unique identifiers from other organisations (such as Centrelink or Australian Taxation Office) to identify individuals.
VCET will respect an individual’s choice to remain anonymous. However, an individual’s right to remain anonymous may limit the actions that VCET is able to take or limit VCET’s ability to provide information it may be asked to produce. VCET may be unable to investigate and manage a complaint under the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic) and applicable internal policies where the complainant wishes to remain anonymous. Please consult VCET’s Public Interest Disclosure Policy and Guidelines on either of its intranets or websites about the making of a public interest disclosure regarding improper conduct or detrimental action of a member of VCET’s staff.
VCET will only send an individual direct marketing materials if it believes an individual would reasonably expect to receive them or where they have consented by requesting directly to be added to our mailing list, receiving our electronic newsletters, or opting in through our website subscription form.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we operate our venues in Narrm and Djilang; the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Wadawurrung peoples.
