How does DSC collect personal information? DSC's usual practice is to collect personal information directly from you either via this Site or by some other method (such as by post or email). For example, some areas of this Site may require you to submit information to enable you to benefit from the special features (such as newsletters and brochures) or to participate in a particular activity.
Your Consent In most cases, DSC requires you to consent specifically to any collection, use or disclosure of your personal information by DSC. Your consent may be explicit, such as in writing or verbally, or may be implied by conduct.
By using this Site, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy.

How will DSC use the personal information you provide? In general terms, DSC uses and discloses the personal information you provide for the specific purpose or purposes for which you have given consent and for secondary purposes for which you reasonably expect DSC to use or disclose your personal information. For instance, if you have consented to receiving information about the centre related activities, functions, issues and initiatives, DSC will send you email updates or newsletters regarding such matters. Please be aware that you are free to "unsubscribe" to any publication that you receive from DSC at any time.
Does DSC disclose personal information to anyone? DSC may disclose your personal information in a number of circumstances, for instance:(i) where you have consented to us doing so (by way of example, in providing us with your contact details, you may have consented to DSC providing those details to another group)or (ii) where required or authorised by law (for instance, in response to a subpoena or other court order); (iii) to consultants, advisers or other third parties (in Australia or overseas) where that party has been contracted to provide administrative or other services to DSC (and on the basis that that third party agrees to abide by this Privacy Policy).
Management and security of personal information DSC takes all reasonable precautions to safeguard your personal information from loss, misuse, interference, unauthorised access, modification or unlawful disclosure.
However, you should keep in mind that the transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.
