Privacy Policy

This policy explains how PlayScout Australia handles personal information submitted through playscoutaustralia.com. We aim to manage personal information transparently and consistently with applicable Australian privacy requirements, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply to our activities.

1. Information we may collect

When you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, optional phone number, enquiry details and any other information you choose to include. Basic technical information such as browser type, approximate device information and security logs may also be processed to operate and protect the website.

2. Why we use information

We use submitted information to respond to enquiries, review corrections or platform suggestions, maintain site security, improve website usability and keep reasonable records of editorial correspondence.

3. Cookies and local storage

Essential storage may be used to remember site and consent preferences. Optional analytics should only be enabled after consent where required. You can change browser settings to restrict cookies, although some preference features may stop working.

4. Third-party links

Our catalogue links to independent publishers and platforms. Their privacy practices are controlled by them, not by PlayScout Australia. Review the third party's current policy before creating an account or providing personal information.

5. Disclosure and service providers

Information may be handled by service providers that support hosting, security, email or analytics. We only intend to disclose information where reasonably necessary for those functions, with consent, or where required by law.

6. Security and retention

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access. Information should not be retained longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to legal or operational requirements.

7. Access and correction

You may contact us to ask about personal information we hold about you or to request a correction. We may need enough information to verify the request before responding.

8. Overseas services

Some hosting, email, analytics or security providers may process information outside Australia. Where this occurs, the location and safeguards depend on the providers in use at that time.

9. Contact

Privacy enquiries can be sent to [email protected]. General correspondence: Sydney NSW 2000, Australia.
