As a leading Australian Dance School The Space Dance & Arts Centre needs a wide range of "personal information" in order to carry out its business. "Personal information" is essentially information from which you can be identified.

The Space is bound by the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988. If you provide us with information about your health, we also strive to ensure that our handling of that information complies with applicable State and Territory health records legislation.
The Space needs personal information: - to conduct our business (eg to administer accounts, charge fees and to communicate with our members and business contacts).
To illustrate, the personal information we collect about our members includes: - Identification Information, including each member's name, address, contact details (including telephone numbers and email address) and date of birth; - Health information, is a sensitive form of personal information, so we only collect it with your consent, and we only collect what we need; - Financial Information, including bank account details and credit card details, as well as information about payment or non-payment of fees.
This information is collected from application forms, and when people attend our venue and communicate with us through our website.
We also collect: - Business Contact Information from and about our suppliers and other people we do business with (eg our landlords). This information is needed so that we can manage our business; - "Next of Kin" Information, is collected in the case of an emergency. We suggest that our members tell their next of kin that they have been nominated for this purpose; and - Employee Information. is also collected for human resources purposes.

For instance, The Space may mail its members information about its own promotions, or those offered by our business partners. If you don't want us to do this, we give you an opportunity to "opt out" from receiving such material by declining to fill out the mailing list form.
We will disclose personal information if we are under a legal requirement to do so (eg under a court order, or if required under legislation), or if an authorised request is made from a law enforcement agency. Otherwise, we will only disclose personal information with the consent of the relevant individuals. For example, if you are a member, with your consent (and only with your consent): - we may provide personal information to The Space's dance teachers to contact you to arrange a dance class or private lesson. If the dance teachers are contractors (rather than The Space employees), their contracts with us require them to keep your personal information confidential. Of course, all our employees are required to keep your personal information confidential also; and
