Notwithstanding the above, we acknowledge our obligation to report any data breach that is likely to risk the rights and freedoms of natural persons to the Australian Information Commissioner and, where our data breach involves the information of EU subjects, report to the European Data Protection Supervisor. We will also inform you, where possible, if your data has been breached in the circumstance where it poses a risk of serious harm or your rights and freedoms.

SPECIAL[A6]  CONDITION: COVID-19 CONTACT TRACING

You acknowledge that there is currently a respiratory illness outbreak caused by a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) that is impacting various regions globally. Different States and Territories around Australia are managing the ongoing risks of COVID-19 by requiring businesses to collect Personal Information about their customers for the purpose of “contact tracing”. Contact tracing is the process of identifying people who may have come into contact with a positive case of COVID-19, and assists authorities with taking measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 (such as issuing directions to identified persons to get tested and/or self-isolate).

As a condition of entry into the our festivals and events, we or the venue may collect the following information from you in accordance with any applicable in force government direction or order for the purpose of contact tracing:

  • Your full legal name;
  • Your contact details (e.g. phone number and/or email address);
  • Your postcode.

We or the venue may also require you to provide confirmation that:

  • you do not have COVID-19, and are not awaiting test results for COVID-19 or otherwise have reason to suspect that you have contracted COVID-19;
  • you have not knowingly been in contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 in the last fourteen (14) days;
  • you have not returned from international travel in the last fourteen (14) days;
  • you have not visited a COVID-19 ‘hotspot’ (as advertised on the relevant State or Territory’s health department website) in the past fourteen (14) days;
  • you are not experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, including:
  • a cough
  • fever
  • shortness of breath
  • sore throat
  • sneezing and runny nose
  • temporary loss of smell.

This information will be collected from you directly, or from a parent or guardian where you are under the age of 18. Where contacting tracing is collected by a venue or other third party, we may request that the venue or other third party share such information with us for the purpose of complying with any government direction or order. Please note the privacy policies of those venues or third parties will apply to the collection of such information, and you should contact them directly should you have any queries about their privacy practices.

A direction or order may provide for the submission of contact tracing information to a government authority directly through an authorised mobile application or web check-in service (“Check-In Tool”). If you choose to use a Check-In Tool, your disclosure of Personal Information will be governed by the terms of the operator responsible for the Check-In Tool. We disclaim all liability in connection with your use of a Check-In Tool. If you have any concerns about the privacy practices of any Check-In Tool operator, we encourage you to reach out to them directly.

We will keep all Personal Information collected for the purpose of contact tracing separate from other data, and will restrict access to such information to our staff on a ‘need-to-know’ basis. We will only disclose Personal Information to relevant health authorities or other persons as required under any applicable direction or order. When we are no longer required to keep such information, we will take reasonable steps to anonymise or otherwise delete such information.
