Survey responses are collected through our website and third party survey tools with responses held in The Daily Aus’ highly secure database. By submitting your email address on our website or survey platform, you consent to subscribing to The Daily Aus.

If you wish to unsubscribe, you can do so by updating your preferences in the footer of our newsletter.

How we will use or disclose your information 

We collect your personal information for the primary purpose of generating survey data, providing our services to you and for marketing purposes. We may also use your personal information for secondary purposes in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure.

We only use or disclose your personal information for the primary purpose for which it has been collected or for any other related secondary purpose subject to your consent for us to use it for any other purpose.

We may use or disclose your personal information through distributing survey results through newsletters and/or social media accounts. Your personal information may also be disclosed through:

The use of unsponsored survey data: all information provided in response to an unsponsored survey will be published on thedailyaus.com.au. The results from the surveys will be available for the public to use.

  1.     The use of sponsored survey data: if a survey is sponsored by a client of The Daily Aus, the survey will have a sponsored badge and consent will be provided by the respondent before participating. The data collected from our sponsored surveys is owned and controlled by our client. This may include using that data for research purposes or making the survey responses public. The Sponsor will not have access to the raw data collected from the survey (i.e. personal data). Results will be distributed to the Sponsor in the same format they are distributed to the public. 

We will not provide any information that you submit in response to the survey, nor your contact details, to third parties other than our client (unless you have given us your express consent, or we are required to by law).

We will not provide any personal information to any third party other than in accordance with the terms and conditions of our Privacy Statement without your express statement. Anonymous user data is not personal information and we are entitled to deal with anonymous information in any manner we see fit.

By visitingthedailyaus.com.au, you are expressly accepting and consenting to your personal information being shared with The Daily Aus and/or its clients referred to in this Privacy Statement for use by those clients for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Statement.

Disclosure.

We may disclose your personal information:

  •     If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation such as a subpoena or respond to a request from a government or a regulatory body.
  •     If we are involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of all or a portion of our assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

How you can access your personal information or ask for a correction

Pursuant to the Privacy Act, you have the right to access your personal information which we hold and collect about you. Should you wish to access your personal information through the Privacy Act, please contact [email protected].

With respect to your responses to our surveys, this will be emailed to you and published and available on our platforms.

Use of cookies.

Session level cookies are automatically deleted at the end of a session, when you close your browser. The Daily Aus’s survey mechanism places a session level cookie on respondents’ browser to track non-personal information such as: the number of pages a particular visitor has passed over; what page the visitor was viewing when the survey appeared; what language, browser and operating system a visitor is using; the referring website (i.e. Google); and any search terms that brought the visitor to the website. We use this data to ensure that a visitor has sufficiently browsed the site in order to adequately answer the survey, and to prevent an individual from getting a survey multiple times in a single session.

Processing and storage of data.

Data collected from surveys will be processed by The Daily Aus’ internal Data Analysts, Journalists and reviewed by our Editorial team.

All information provided by respondents will be stored on secured servers. When you enter personal information through our forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

We follow accepted industry standards to protect the personal information and data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. While we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, and any transmission of data to our website is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Sharing information

We may disclose your personal information:

  •     If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation such as a subpoena or respond to a request from a government or a regulatory body.
  •     If we are involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of all or a portion of our assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.
  •     In order to enforce or apply our website terms of use, software licences or other agreements, and to protect the rights (including intellectual property rights), property or safety of The Daily Aus Surveys, our customers or others.

Data security and integrity.

The Daily Aus takes reasonable precautions to protect Personal Data stored in its global hosting centres and in other locations in Australia from loss, misuse and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. The Daily Aus also makes reasonable efforts to keep all Personal Data reliable for its intended use, accurate, current, and complete. We use secure server hosting locations with 24/7 security monitoring, firewall protection, DDOS protection, controlled access, and encryption technology to protect your Personal Data. We encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Because no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

A Privacy Officer will assess your complaint and give you information about how it will be handled.
