Other people's information

If you provide to Dry July or post on or make available to the Dry July Website any personal information of another person, you must:

have that person's prior written consent to do so;
ensure they are aware of this Dry July Privacy Policy; and
ensure their consent allows us to use and disclose their personal information in the same way that we may use and disclose your personal information.

Disclosure of your personal information

In order to be able to manage Dry July and operate the Dry July Website, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for the following purposes:

if you are a Participant, to open and use your Account;
so you can access and use the Dry July Website, including uploading and sharing Your Content;
so we can administer, manage and support Dry July and the Dry July Website for you (including your access to and use of the Dry July Website);
so we can ensure your donations and purchase orders are properly accounted for with the Payment System provider;
so we can fulfil your purchase orders;
so we can undertake research into and develop Dry July and the Dry July Website to make it better.

The types of organisations to which we disclose information for these purposes include:

organisations which carry out IT services for us related to Dry July and the Dry July Website including our physical housing, monitoring and backup of the servers for the Dry July Website, support and maintenance for the Dry July Website;
organisations which provide services to enable fulfilment of your purchase orders

Some of these third parties are located overseas. Singapore is the main overseas country in which these recipients of your personal information are located.

If you consent to the disclosure of your personal information overseas, Dry July will not be responsible for ensuring overseas entities' compliance with Australian privacy law (including the Australian Privacy Principles) in relation to that personal information

If you are a Participant we will display your name and image on your profile page of the Dry July Website. Your email address or other contact information will not be displayed in any form through the Dry July Website. If you are a Donor we will normally display your name on the profile page of the Participant to whom you have made a donation. When making a donation, you have the option of checking a box marked "Anonymous Donation". If you check this box, your name will not be disclosed to the Participant nor will your name be displayed on the Dry July Website.

If you are a Participant, we may also provide your postcode information from your Account to Google Maps (but not other personal information) so Google Maps can display information about participation in Dry July. This is unlikely to identify you.

We may also disclose information to third parties you have indicated you want to share your information with for a particular purpose, including through opting in to a particular form of communication (by checking a box or by other means that allows Dry July to pass your information onto third parties). This may include beneficiaries, third parties that provide goods or services, or our sponsors or supporters who may wish to contact you from time to time. They may also include marketing, market participation and research companies.

Where consent has not been provided we may provide information which has been de-identified (so that it is no longer personal information and does not identify you) to:

organisations which carry out marketing, market and participation research for us for the purpose of carrying out such research and providing us with advice;
organisations which provide us with support, sponsorship or are beneficiaries.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that any third parties who we disclose your personal information to are bound by confidentiality and privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personal information.

We may disclose your personal information to Facebook on so that Facebook can send you advertisements about future Dry July events and initiatives. Your details will be hashed before they are sent to Facebook, and Facebook only briefly uses the data for matching purposes then deletes it: https://www.facebook.com/ads/manage/customaudiences/tos.php If you would prefer not to see these advertisements or wish to opt out of having your details provided to Facebook, please contact us on [email protected].

In addition, we may disclose your personal information to:

your authorised representatives or your legal advisers (when requested by you to do so);
as required or authorised by law, including to government and regulatory authorities and other organisations; and
our professional advisers, including our accountants, auditors and lawyers.

Changes to personal information

Management of personal information in your Account and Your Content is governed by you. You are responsible for changing these as required by you from time to time.

We require your assistance to ensure that the personal information we collect, use and disclose and which you use and disclose to us is accurate, complete and up-to-date. We ask that you:

let us know if there are any errors in your personal information which we have collected; and keep us up-to-date with changes to your personal information which we have collected such as your name or e-mail address.

If you have difficulty in doing this, you should contact us for help by emailing us at [email protected].
