Please be aware that we may collect some of your information through CCTV cameras, which we use for general security purposes. We may also collect your information from anyone you have authorised, retailers operating in our centres, from other third parties where that information is publicly available or where it is otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act.

7. If you give us any information about anyone else, you must have their consent to give us the information before you do so.

8. We may use a third party application to collect personal information from you in order to understand your location and shopping behaviour at Precinct properties. You authorise such collection and use, which will be in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

How do we use your information?

9. We use your information only for purposes you have agreed to, for purposes directly related to our functions or activities or where we are authorised to under the Privacy Act.

10. We may use your information for the following reasons:

1. to manage health and safety within our properties, including pedestrian traffic flows;
2. to provide our services to you including our centre maps and directories, wireless service and parking services;

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

11. You consent to us, retailers at our properties or our business partners, sending you information connected with the above collection and use purposes via email or text message when you provide us with your email address and/or mobile phone number. You may be sent other information we think you may be interested in and which may market and promote our products and services, or the products and services of retailers operating in our properties or those of our business partners. The messages you receive from Precinct will have instructions for how you can remove yourself from our mailing list.

12. Email marketing will only be sent to your email address if you have given your consent. You may unsubscribe to any email marketing message at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions contained in the message.

WHO DO WE GIVE YOUR INFORMATION TO?

13. We will only disclose your information where you have authorised such disclosure, where disclosure is connected to one of our functions or activities or where we are able to under the Privacy Act.

14. Examples where we may disclose your information are:

1. to service providers in order to provide our services to you;
2. to retailers at Precinct properties or our business partners for promotional, marketing, publicity, research and profiling purposes to the extent permitted by law. Where we do this, your information is aggregated with that of other visitors to our properties, so retailers and business partners will not be able to identify you;
3. to law enforcement agencies for the purposes of prevention, detection, investigation and analysis of incidents or offences in and around our centres (including law enforcement agencies having live-feed access to our CCTV cameras);
4. to meet our legal obligations;
5. in order for us to sell any of our assets and parts of our business; and

HOW DO WE STORE YOUR INFORMATION?

16. We take reasonable steps to ensure that your information is protected against loss, unauthorised access and other misuse. We adopt policies and procedures to protect your information, and we review these regularly.

ACCESS TO, CORRECTION, MODIFICATION AND DELETION OF YOUR INFORMATION

17. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate. You have the right at any stage to request us to provide you with access to your information. We will respond to any request by you to correct or access your information as soon as practicable following receipt of such request, but there are exceptions under the Privacy Act where we may not be able to do so. We will tell you if that is the case.
