Privacy Policy
This site is owned and operated by the Town of Port Hedland using software licensed from Social Pinpoint. For details on how the Town of Port Hedland collects and protects your personal information, refer to their Privacy Policy below. For details of how Social Pinpoint may access personal information, please refer to Social Pinpoint’s Privacy Policy.
Privacy Policy
At the Town of Port Hedland, we take a great deal of care in how we handle your personal information, and we do so in line with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) that can be found on the OAIC website (www.oaic.gov.au).
To help you better understand how your data is stored and used, as well as the purpose for which it is used and why, the Town of Port Hedland has developed a simplified and extended privacy policy.
The simplified version will give you a quick overview and is a great way to get a general understanding on how we may collect, use and disclose your personal information.
The extended version goes into detail to give you a comprehensive explanation on how your data is handled across our various channels.
Both the Simplified Privacy Policy and the Extended Privacy Policy were last updated on 28/03/2025.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at council@porthedland.wa.gov.au
What does Personal Information mean?
Personal information is information that may identify you or by which your identity may be reasonably determined. Such personal information may include your name, address, other contact details, your date of birth, or any other information that may be provided by you in order to access or make use of our services. In this privacy policy, 'personal information' has the same meaning as defined by section 6 of the Privacy Act 1988 ('Privacy Act').
How is my Personal Information Collected?
The main way we collect personal information is through you directly or through your authorised representative. That is, when you visit us one of our websites and submit your personal information or request your personal information to be used (i.e. by subscribing to an email newsletter or filling out a contact form).
Your personal information may be collected through the following services that are used on our website/related systems:
- User Forms
- Cookies & Analytics
- Location-based Services
- Social Networks
- Online Advertising
- Email Marketing
- Third-party tools, services and embedded content
We also collect information through interactions on traditional channels, such as, in-person, email and phone, and sometimes collect personal information from a third-party or from a publicly available source, but only if:
- you have consented to such collection or would reasonably expect us to collect your personal information in this way, or
- if it is necessary for a specific purpose such as the investigation of a privacy complaint.
We only collect personal information for purposes which are directly related to our functions or activities under the Privacy Act, the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), and only when it is necessary for or directly related to such purposes.
How do you use my Personal Information?
We only use personal information for the specified purpose, or a closely related purpose which would reasonably be expected.
We do not give personal information about an individual to any other government agencies, private sector organisations or anyone else unless one of the following applies:
- you have consented
- you would reasonably expect, or have told us, that information of this kind is usually passed to those individuals, bodies or agencies
- it is otherwise required or authorised by law
- it will prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to somebody's life or health, or
- it is reasonably necessary for the enforcement of the criminal law or of a law imposing a pecuniary penalty, or for the protection of public revenue.
Is my Personal Information Stored Securely?
We take steps to protect the personal information we hold against loss, unauthorised access, use, modification or disclosure, and against other misuse.
When the personal information that we collect is no longer required or you request for it to be removed - we destroy or delete it in a secure manner.
Can I Access or Change the Personal Information I give you?
Yes, you can access the personal information that we hold about you, and you can ask us to correct the personal information we hold about you. For more information, please contact us directly using the contact details below.
