Privacy Policy 

Mix Taste Eat values and respects the privacy of the people we deal with. Mix Taste Eat is committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and other applicable privacy laws and regulations. 

This Privacy Policy (Policy) describes how we collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information, and how we maintain the quality and security of your personal information. 

What is personal information? 

“Personal information” means any information or opinion, whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. In general terms, this includes information or an opinion that personally identifies you either directly (e.g. your name) or indirectly. 

What personal information do we collect? 

The personal information we collect about you depends on the nature of your dealings with us or what you choose to share with us. 

The personal information we collect about you may include: 

• ● Name; 
• ● Mailing or street address; 
• ● Date of birth; 
• ● Email address; 
• ● Phone number  

[Guidance: If your organisation collects sensitive information, tailor the following 2 paragraphs according to the types of sensitive information you collect, and how you handle such sensitive information. Delete the following 2 paragraphs if your organisation does not collect sensitive information.] 

Under certain circumstances, Mix Taste Eat may need to collect sensitive information about you. This might include any health information such as dietary requirements, preferences, and allergies. 

If we collect your sensitive information, we will do so only with your consent, if it is necessary to prevent a serious and imminent threat to life or health, or as otherwise required or authorised by law, and we take appropriate measures to protect the security of this information.

You do not have to provide us with your personal information. Where possible, we will give you the option to interact with us anonymously or by using a pseudonym. However, if you choose to deal with us in this way or choose not to provide us with your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our services or otherwise interact with you. 

How do we collect your personal information? 

We collect your personal information directly from you when you: 

• Interact with us over the phone; 
• Interact with us in person; 
• Interact with us online; 
• Participate in surveys or questionnaires; 
• Attend a Mix Taste Eat event; 
• Subscribe to our mailing list; 
• Apply for a position with us as an employee, contractor or volunteer;  

How do we use your personal information? 

We use personal information for many purposes in connection with our functions and activities, including the following purposes: 

• Provide you with information or services that you request from us; 
• Deliver to you a more personalised experience and service offering; 
• Improve the quality of the services we offer;

• Our professional services advisors; 

Transfer of personal information overseas 

Some of the third-party service providers we disclose personal information to may be based in or have servers located outside of Australia.

Where we disclose your personal information to third parties overseas, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that data security and appropriate privacy practices are maintained. We will only disclose to overseas third parties if: 

• You have given us your consent to disclose personal information to that third party; or 
• We reasonably believe that:
  • the overseas recipient is subject to a law or binding scheme that is, overall, substantially similar to the APPs; and 
  • the law or binding scheme can be enforced; or 
• The disclosure is required or authorised by an Australian law or court / tribunal order. 

How do we protect your personal information? 

Mix Taste Eat will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that we hold about you is kept confidential and secure, including by: 

• Having a robust physical security of our premises and databases / records; 
• Taking measures to restrict access to only personnel who need that personal information to effectively provide services to you; 
• Having technological measures in place (for example, anti-virus software, fire walls);  

Online activity 

Cookies 

The Mix Taste Eat website uses cookies. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers the website puts on your device if you allow it. These cookies recognise when your device has visited our website(s) before, so we can distinguish you from other users of the website. This improves your experience and the Mix Taste Eat website(s).

We do not use cookies to identify you, just to improve your experience on our website(s). If you do not wish to use the cookies, you can amend the settings on your internet browser so it will not automatically download cookies. However, if you remove or block cookies on your computer, please be aware that your browsing experience and our website’s functionality may be affected.

These communications may be sent in various forms, including mail, SMS and email, in accordance with applicable marketing laws, such as the Australian Spam Act 2003 (Cth). You consent to us sending you those direct marketing communications by any of those methods. If you indicate a preference for a method of communication, we will endeavour to use that method whenever practical to do so. 

You may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by following the instructions to “unsubscribe” set out in the relevant communication.
