Introduction

Arts Queensland is committed to protecting user privacy. We understand and appreciate that visitors and users of this web site are concerned about their privacy and the confidentiality and security of any information that may be provided to us.

The Queensland Government has established a privacy regime for the Queensland Public Sector based on 11 Information Privacy Principles, which regulate, among other things, the collection, storage, accuracy, use and disclosure of personal information. The 11 Information Privacy Principles are contained in an Information Standard that agencies are required to adhere to. A copy of this standard (Information Standard No.42) can be accessed here (Current Information Standards).
