What we believe

Illuminate Adelaide Foundation Ltd.

We don't like complicated and hard-to-read policies, so we've written ours in simple language and in a way that's easy to understand. We believe control over your data should remain in your hands, so we’ve included additional information on managing your privacy and data online. This information can be used in the context of this policy but also extends to managing your interactions with others online.

This may include processing a ticket purchase, registration to one of our events, complying with legislative requirements for our events, or assisting you with an existing booking. In these and similar situations, a refusal to provide your Personal Information may mean we are unable to assist with your request.

How do we store Personal Information?

We take reasonable steps to protect all information that we hold, including Personal Information. We take reasonable steps to hold information securely in electronic or physical form. In general, we store our hard-copy records in Australia, whilst our online records are stored in Australia and overseas data centres.

When we use third-party tools, such as DropBox, JotForm, WordFly, Facebook, Google Analytics, Office 365, Survey Monkey, Mail Chimp or similar, your data may be stored according to those third-party services’ terms and conditions. For instance, in the case of our ticketing system Tessitura, data is stored on a secure yet shared database where base contact information is also available and updatable by other members of the consortium. We make reasonable enquiries of our third-party service providers to ensure that they have committed to keeping your Personal Information secure, but we do not have control over whether or not this actually happens.

How do we use your Personal Information?

We use your Personal Information for any purpose where you have provided consent. This consent may be explicit or implied. This may include any of the following:

Yes. We may use Personal Information provided to tell you things we think you might be interested in.

Examples where we may use your Personal Information for marketing purposes include:

  • Email marketing: If you’ve signed-up to receive emails from Illuminate Adelaide we’ll use the email address you have provided us with to contact you. These emails may include information about our program, our partners, special offers, news, blog content, or other information relevant to Illuminate Adelaide. It may also include information from third parties where we think this information is relevant to you. We may use information you’ve provided us – such as your location – or information based on your website behaviour or purchase history to decide what emails may be most relevant to you.

    Email marketing is separate to non-promotional emails regarding events which you may be attending – either ticketed or not – which constitute required information which cannot be opted out of. Email marketing also sits separately to other types of non-promotional emails which may be required in certain circumstances, such as post-event customer surveys.
  • Online Ad Campaigns: We may use the information you’ve provided us to target advertising on online platforms, including Google Ads Network and social media sites such as Meta (Facebook and Instagram).

Where this occurs, we do so only with trusted parties, for specific purposes, and with controls in place to safeguard your security and privacy.

Unless you have expressed consent, we never share your Personal Information to a third-party for the purpose of being directly contacted by them other than in relation to one of our events. We do not sell your Personal Information.
