Privacy policy.

We believe in collecting as little data as possible, and only what is needed to run Limelight Creatives' programs, services, and events.

We do not, and never will, sell your personal information.

Code used in our events or online is 100% open-source for transparency and is available on GitHub.

You may decline to share certain information with Limelight Creatives. That is completely fine. You can still use any of our services that do not require that information.

Limelight Creatives ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through our services, including our websites, applications, programs, and events.

This Privacy Policy applies to products and services provided by Limelight Creatives through limelightcreatives.org, sites operated under Limelight Creatives or its affiliates, applications, services, and events operated by Limelight Creatives.

Limelight Creatives currently operates exclusively in Australia and complies with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). As we expand our offerings globally, we may revise portions of this Privacy Policy to comply with applicable laws and standards in other jurisdictions.

Personal information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples of personal information we may collect include names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers.

You may share personal information with us when using Limelight Creatives' services. This may happen when setting up an account, registering for a program, making a donation, or taking part in activities that are public or intended to be public in nature, such as sharing a project or participating in a community discussion.

Depending on how you interact with us, the information you provide may include your name, email address, home address, phone number, date of birth, and parent or guardian contact details.

Information you provide. When you register for a service, sign up for a program, make a donation, attend an information session, or otherwise use our services, you may provide personal information to us.

Information collected automatically. When you use our website or open our emails, we may automatically collect limited technical information, such as your IP address, device information, and browser type.

In-person events. Limelight Creatives events may be photographed, recorded, or streamed by us. These materials may be used in marketing and promotional materials, including on social media or in print media.

Running our programs. We use information to operate, maintain, and improve our services and programs.

Communicating with you. We may use your contact details to communicate with you about programs, events, updates, news, and other information relating to Limelight Creatives.

Meeting legal requirements. Some information may be necessary for us to comply with Australian law or respond to a court order or other lawful government request.

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with service providers working on our behalf, such as website hosting providers, security services, and event logistics providers. We require these parties to handle information in accordance with applicable privacy requirements and to use it only for the purposes for which it was provided.

We may also disclose information where necessary to protect the security and integrity of our platforms, prevent fraud or abuse, defend against legal claims, or protect the safety of our participants and community.

Services operated by Limelight Creatives may link to third-party websites or services. The privacy practices of those third parties are not governed by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party websites and services you use to understand how they collect, use, and handle information.

We will comply with valid requests to exercise your privacy rights in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles. Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

• Obtain access to, or a copy of, certain personal information we hold about you.
• Request that personal information that is out of date or incorrect be updated or corrected.
• Request deletion of certain personal information we hold about you.
• Request that we restrict the way we process or disclose specific personal information about you.
• Revoke consent that you previously provided for the processing of your personal information, where applicable.

To make a privacy request, please contact us using our privacy contact form.

To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity, or your parent or guardian's identity where applicable, before granting access to or making changes to your information. We will respond to valid requests within a reasonable time.

If you are under 13 years of age, you may not use or access Limelight Creatives' services at any time or in any manner.

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important to us. Limelight Creatives does not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from persons under 13 years of age.

If Limelight Creatives learns that personal information belonging to a person under 13 has been collected through our services, we will take appropriate steps to delete that information.

If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 who has provided personal information through Limelight Creatives services, please contact us using our privacy contact form to request deletion of that information.

Limelight Creatives retains information about your use of our services for as long as reasonably required to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, as required or permitted by law, or as otherwise communicated to you.

If you ask us to close an account and delete information associated with it, we will delete information that we are not required or permitted to retain by law.

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Depending on where you live, local laws may provide you with additional privacy rights or require additional disclosures. Those rights and disclosures apply to you to the extent required by applicable law and are in addition to the rights described in this Privacy Policy. To exercise any jurisdiction-specific rights, please contact us using our privacy contact form.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, services, or legal obligations. When we make changes, we will update the date shown at the beginning of this policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, want to exercise a privacy right, or have concerns about how we handle your information, please get in touch with us through our privacy contact form.
