Privacy Statement

DevelopmentWA is committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information and sensitive personal information in accordance with the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) contained in the Privacy and Responsible Information Sharing Act 2024 (WA) (Privacy Legislation).

The DevelopmentWA Privacy and Personal Information Breach Statement (Privacy Statement) explains, in further detail, the types of personal information we collect, how we collect and use this information, who we may disclose it to, how you can access and change your personal information and how you can make a privacy complaint.

1. Under the Privacy Legislation, 'personal information' includes any information or opinion that 'relates to an individual, whether living or dead, whose identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained from the information or opinion'.

2. The types of personal information that DevelopmentWA, or a third party contractor acting on our behalf, may collect and hold includes the following:
   1. full name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers;
   2. occupation;
   3. date of birth, gender and marital status;
   4. bank account details and credit card details;
   5. personal information captured by our surveillance devices;
   6. any other information you provide to us by any means; and
   7. information associated with web browsing, such as your IP address.

3. Generally, the kinds of information that DevelopmentWA will collect and/or hold will depend on the kind of project or development we are concerned with – essentially, the purpose of the activity we are conducting. We will only collect personal information which is necessary for one or more of our functions or activities. Accordingly, there will be instances where the personal information we record will be minimal, and may simply extend to your name and applicable contact details.

4. On occasion we may collect and/or hold other kinds of information – such as when we run a promotional event or a competition. When we do this, we will disclose our intention to do so to you.
   
   
5. There may be instances where the personal information we collect and hold relates to sensitive matters. Under the Privacy Legislation, 'sensitive personal information' is personal information that relates to particular matters, such as:
   1. health, genetics or biometrics;
   2. race or ethnicity;
   3. gender identity, where this does not correspond with designated sex at birth;
   4. sexual orientation or practices;
   5. political opinions or memberships;
   6. philosophical beliefs, or religious beliefs or affiliations;
   7. membership of a professional or trade association, or trade union;
   8. criminal records.
      
      
6. Sensitive personal information also includes information from which the characteristics above can be reasonably inferred.
   
   
7. Sensitive personal information is afforded a higher level of protection than other kinds of information under the Privacy Legislation. There may be occasions where it is necessary for us to collect sensitive personal information, for example:
   1. where we need information about an individual's disability to assess the suitability of housing options; or
   2. where we need information about our employees' health to appropriately manage our workplace.
      
      
8. At all times, DevelopmentWA will take reasonable steps to inform you of the kinds of personal information it collects and holds when you are engaged with it, and how this may vary from project to project.
   
   
9. If you choose not to provide certain personal information to us, we may not be able to provide you with access to parts of the DevelopmentWA website or to certain content, products and services available on the DevelopmentWA website or generally from DevelopmentWA.

Means of Collection

1. We will only collect your personal information when the information is necessary for one or more of DevelopmentWA’s functions or activities. We will not collect personal information in an unreasonably intrusive way.

2. Unless otherwise required or authorised by the Privacy Legislation or another law, we will only collect personal information where fair and reasonable to do so, taking into account matters listed in the Privacy Legislation, including:
   
   1. whether you would reasonably expect the information to be collected in the circumstances;
   2. the kind and sensitivity of the personal information;
   3. the amount of personal information collected;
   4. how necessary it is for us to collect that information;
   5. whether the collection may pose any risks to you;
   6. whether the collection is, on balance, in the public interest; and
   7. where the personal information relates to a child - whether the collection is in the best interests of the child.

3. We will only collect your sensitive personal information where necessary for one or more of the DevelopmentWA’s functions or activities and:
   1. you have provided your consent;
   2. the collection is required or authorised by or under law;
   3. the collection is necessary in certain circumstances to protect you from particular risks, and you are incapable of giving consent;
   4. the collection is necessary in connection with legal proceedings; or
   5. the collection is collected in connection with certain research purposes set out in the Privacy Laws, and it is impracticable to obtain your consent.

4. DevelopmentWA will, at all times, collect your personal information directly from you, unless:
   1. it is unreasonable or impracticable for us to do so; or
   2. you consent to the collection of the information from someone other than you; or
   3. we are required or authorised by or under an Australian law, or a court/tribunal order, to collect the information from someone other than you.

5. We will only collect your personal information from a third party where we have taken reasonable steps to satisfy ourselves that the personal information was collected by that third party in a manner which was consistent with the Privacy Legislation. In the event we receive your personal information from a third party, we will take reasonable steps to inform you of that.

Notification of collection

6. When DevelopmentWA collects personal information about you, it will take reasonable steps to notify you or to otherwise ensure you are aware of certain matters. These matters include our identity as an organisation and contact details, the context of the collection, whether the collection is required or authorised by law, the purposes of the collection, DevelopmentWA’s usual disclosure of personal information, how you can access the personal information we hold, any law that requires the personal information to be collected, and the main consequences (if any) for you if we are unable to collect your personal information. We may refer you to the Privacy Statement for some of that information, or for further details.
   
   
7. DevelopmentWA will take reasonable steps to provide this notification before, or at the time it collects your personal information. If it is not possible for it to do so, DevelopmentWA will take reasonable steps to provide notification as soon as practicable after collection.

Unsolicited personal information

8. DevelopmentWA may receive your personal or sensitive information as unsolicited personal information.

9. Unsolicited personal information is received by an organisation, such as DevelopmentWA, where it took no active steps to seek that information.

10. When and where DevelopmentWA receives unsolicited information, DevelopmentWA will determine whether it could have collected the information under Information Privacy Principle 1 (which governs the collection of solicited personal information). Where DevelopmentWA could not have collected the information consistent with Information Privacy Principle 1, DevelopmentWA will destroy or de-identify the information as soon as practicable, so long as it is lawful and reasonable for it to do so.

Dealing with us anonymously

11. DevelopmentWA will seek to provide you with the option of dealing with us without identifying yourself, where practical to do so.

12. In many circumstances, it will not be possible or practicable for DevelopmentWA, in the course of conducting its activities, to deal with individuals who have not identified themselves.

13. DevelopmentWA may also be required and/or authorised under a law, in certain circumstances, to deal only with individuals who have identified themselves.

1. All of the personal information (including sensitive personal information) we collect is stored locally on our network storage and an Australian based local based cloud system. All information is backed up daily to tape which is held onsite in a safe environment.

2. At this stage in time, DevelopmentWA does store personal information (including sensitive personal information) through a third party local data storage cloud based system and an Australian local cloud system.

3. DevelopmentWA also maintains a number of hardcopy collections of records and electronic databases for use by staff, these include:
   1. Project files (e.g. land acquisition, land planning, land development, land disposal);
   2. Administration files (e.g. finance, strategic planning, information technology); and
   3. Human resource management files.

4. Current files are held on site or with project managers, whilst non-current files are archived to an offsite commercial storage facility.

Security

5. DevelopmentWA strives to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of the personal information (including sensitive personal information) it holds. DevelopmentWA takes reasonable steps to protect the security of all personal information.

6. DevelopmentWA personnel are required to respect the confidentiality of personal information and the privacy of individuals.

7. We use a variety of physical and electronic security measures, including restricting physical access to our offices and firewalls and secure databases to keep personal information secure from misuse, loss or unauthorised use or disclosure.

8. DevelopmentWA continually reviews its various security measures in order to ensure that they are up to date and fit for purpose.

Information retention and destruction practices or obligations

9. DevelopmentWA will only retain your personal information as long as it is necessary for it do so (for example, this may be until the end of a given project or the end of a period of time for expressing interest in a development) or where and when it is required to do so by legislation or a court or tribunal order.

10. DevelopmentWA has an internal system that is used to identify information that is no longer necessary for it to retain and periodically reviews its data in accordance with this system.

11. Once the purpose for which that information was collected expires and/or upon periodic review, DevelopmentWA will take reasonable steps to destroy that information, or to de-identify that information so that it can be retained for statistical purposes.

12. Information which is retained for statistical purposes may be used to improve our services and to make them more responsive to the needs of our customers. This statistical compilation and analysis of information may also be used by us or provided to others as a summary report for marketing, advertising or research purposes.

13. We take reasonable steps to protect any de-identified information we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorised re-identification, access, modification or disclosure.

How and in what circumstances will DevelopmentWA use or disclose my personal information?

Fair and reasonable

1. DevelopmentWA will not use or disclose personal information unless the use or disclosure is fair and reasonable in the circumstances, taking into account matters listed in the Privacy Legislation, including:
   1. whether you would reasonably expect the information to be used or disclosed in the circumstances;
   2. the kind and sensitivity of the personal information;
   3. the amount of personal information used or disclosed;
   4. how necessary it is for us to use or disclose that information;
   5. whether the use or disclosure may pose any risks to you;
   6. whether the use or disclosure is, on balance, in the public interest; and
   7. where the personal information relates to a child - whether the use or disclosure is in the best interests of the child.

2. DevelopmentWA will use and disclose your personal information to provide our services to you or to fulfil administrative functions associated with these services. In general, we will use and disclose your personal information for any purpose for which the information was provided, or any related purpose.

3. DevelopmentWA will disclose personal information when it permits that information to become known outside DevelopmentWA and where it releases it from its effective control. For example, DevelopmentWA would be said to have disclosed your personal information where:
   1. it shares your personal information with another entity;
   2. it publishes your personal information on the internet so it is accessible by others;
   3. where one of its staff reveals your personal information in the course of a conversation with a person who does not work for DevelopmentWA; or
   4. where one of its staff members sends a document containing your personal information to someone who is not you.

Primary purpose

4. We may use and disclose your personal information (including sensitive personal information) for the primary purpose for which it was collected. We will make a written record of the purposes for which personal information will be used or disclosed before collecting that personal information, and we will take reasonable steps to notify you of those purposes at the time of collection as described above.

5. In general, the primary purposes for which we collect, use and disclose personal information include:
   1. providing you with our services;
   2. managing our employees and workplace;
   3. complying with our legal and regulatory obligations; and
   4. research purposes.

Secondary purposes

6. We will only make use of or disclose your personal information for a secondary purpose if:
   1. you have consented to the use or disclosure of that information; or
   2. the secondary purpose is related (or in the case of sensitive personal information, directly related) to the primary purpose, and you would reasonably expect DevelopmentWA to use or disclose the information for the secondary purpose; or
   3. the use or disclosure of that information is required or authorised by or under law; or
   4. one of the other scenarios listed in IPP 2.1 applies.

7. Before using or disclosing personal information for a secondary purpose, DevelopmentWA will make a written record of the secondary purpose.

Who can access my personal information and what conditions apply to their use of my personal information?

8. As a general rule, your personal information (including sensitive personal information) will only be accessed and/or viewed by DevelopmentWA and its third party contractors staff and officers, as and when it is appropriate or necessary.

9. Where we disclose personal information to our contracted service providers, we will typically require that the service provider contractually agree to comply with the IPPs, and also place appropriate limitations on the purposes for and manner in which those service providers may use and disclose the personal information we provide to them.

Disclosure of personal information to overseas recipients

10. Generally, DevelopmentWA does not disclose the personal information it holds to overseas recipients.

11. However, there is a possibility that, on occasion, your personal information may be disclosed to an overseas recipient. The location of any recipients will vary depending on the purpose concerned.

12. We will only disclose personal information outside of Australia where:
    1. we reasonably believe that the recipient is subject to laws substantially similar to the IPPs;
    2. you provide your consent to the disclosure;
    3. the disclosure is required or authorised by or under law;
    4. the disclosure is necessary for the performance of a contract we have for you, or for pre-contractual measures taken in response to your request;
    5. the disclosure is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between us and third party that is concluded in your interests; or
    6. the disclosure is for your benefit, it is impracticable to obtain your consent, and we believe that you would likely provide that consent; or
    7. we have taken reasonable steps (such as contractual obligations) to ensure that the recipient will be handled consistently with the IPPs.

13. Should you have any queries about the potential disclosure of your personal information to an overseas recipient, please contact our Privacy Officer.

How can you access your personal information and/or seek the correction of your personal information?

14. You have a right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request the correction of any personal information we hold about you.

15. DevelopmentWA will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information it collects, uses and discloses is accurate, up to date, and complete.

Requests for access to personal information

17. Requests for access must:
    1. be made in writing;
    2. give enough information so that the personal information requested can be ascertained;
    3. give an Australian address to which notices can be sent; and
    4. be accompanied by any application fee payable as prescribed by the Privacy Legislation.

18. If your request does not comply with these requirements, we will take reasonable steps to help you to amend your request to render it compliant. Should you experience difficulty in determining the correct route through which to request access to your personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer and they will provide you with assistance.

Determination process

19. DevelopmentWA is not required to give you access to personal information to the extent that:
    1. giving access would endanger the life or physical safety of any person; or
    2. DevelopmentWA has reasonable grounds to believe that the person requesting access is a perpetrator, or alleged perpetrator of family violence, and denying access is necessary to prevent or lessen an associated risk of family violence; or
    3. giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals;
    4. the request is frivolous or vexatious; or
    5. the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between the entity and the individual, and would not be accessible by the process of discovery in those proceedings; or
    6. giving access would reveal the intentions of DevelopmentWA in relation to negotiations with you in such a way as to prejudice those negotiations; or
    7. giving access would be unlawful; or
    8. denying access is required or authorised by or under law; or
    9. giving access would be likely to prejudice one or more enforcement related activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body; or
    10. giving access would reveal evaluative information generated within DevelopmentWA in connection with a commercially sensitive decision making process; or
    11. we are otherwise permitted to do so under IPP 6.

Providing access

20. DevelopmentWA will respond to a request for access as soon as practicable after the request is made (and in any event within 45 days).

21. DevelopmentWA reserves the right to charge you a fee for providing you with your personal information, if permitted under the Privacy Legislation.

22. In the event that DevelopmentWA refuses to give you access to the personal information requested by you, we will give you a written notice which sets out the reasons for the refusal.

Request for correction of personal information

23. You can make a request for the correction of your personal information under IPP 6 by contacting our Privacy Officer.

24. Applications to have personal information held by DevelopmentWA corrected or amended must:
    1. be made in writing;
    2. provide enough information to enable the personal information the subject of the request to be ascertained; and
    3. give details of the matters in relation to which you believe that the personal information is not accurate, complete and up-to-date; and
    4. give your reasons for holding that belief; and
    5. give details of the correction you wish to have made, including whether you seek to have information altered, struck out/deleted, inserted or added to; and
    6. give an address in Australia to which notices can be sent.

25. If your request does not comply with these requirements, we will take reasonable steps to help you to amend your request to render it compliant.

Responding to requests for correction

26. If you establish that personal information we hold about you is not accurate, complete and up to date, we will take reasonable steps to correct the information.

27. If we do not agree that the personal information we hold about you is not accurate, complete and up to date, we may refuse to correct your personal information, and will give you a written notice which sets out the reasons for the refusal. In those circumstances, you may request that we associate with your personal information a statement claiming that the information is not accurate, complete or up to date, and we will take reasonable steps to do so.

28. DevelopmentWA will take respond to a request for correction as soon as practicable after the request is made (and in any event within 45 days) and will not charge you for the making of the request or for the correction of the personal information.

1. An automated system is an automated electronic system, including a computer information-processing system or artificial intelligence system.

2. An automated decision-making process is a process under which:
   1. a decision is made by an automated system without the involvement of any individual; or
   2. the making of a decision is materially assisted by an automated system.

3. If DevelopmentWA employs an automated decision-making process involving the use of personal information in making a significant decision which concerns you, we will notify you. We will also give you information (on request) about how the automated decision-making process is employed in making decisions.

4. If you do not want your personal information used in an automated decision-making process, you can make a written request to our Privacy Officer that automated decision-making is not used in relation to the decision.

1. We are committed to protecting information we hold about you, and to complying with the Notifiable Information Breaches scheme under the Privacy Legislation.

2. We have a set of internal procedures to ensure that we comply with these requirements under the Privacy Legislation. These include an Information Breach Response Team to address relevant incidents, led by our Privacy Officer and containing representatives from multiple functions of the business including legal and IT.

3. Where we become aware of a suspected information breach which is likely to result in serious harm to any individuals about whom we hold information, we will:
   1. immediately take all reasonable steps to contain the suspected breach;
   2. convene our Information Breach Response Team;
   3. investigate the suspected breach, including an assessment to determine:
      1. the scope of any breach that has occurred and
      2. the risk of harm to affected individuals whose information may have been compromised;
      3. whether a breach has occurred which requires notification to the Information Commissioner and the affected individual(s);
   4. prepare a written report in relation to that assessment (which will have regard to any relevant privacy guidelines); and
   5. take steps to minimise any harm caused to affected individuals as a result of the breach.

4. If a Notifiable Information Breach has occurred, we will notify you (unless an exception applies as set out below) and the Information Commissioner as soon as practicable.

Notification to the Information Commissioner

5. Our notification to the Information Commissioner will include the following:
   1. DevelopmentWA's name and contact details;
   2. the date on which the Notifiable Information Breach occurred, and the period of time for which it persisted;
   3. a description of the Notifiable Information Breach;
   4. how the Notifiable Information Breach occurred;
   5. whether the Notifiable Information Breach involved unauthorised access to, disclosure of, or loss of Personal Information;
   6. the kind of Personal Information involved in the Notifiable Information Breach;
   7. a description of the steps taken, or that will be taken, by DevelopmentWA to contain, and mitigate the harm caused by, the Notifiable Information Breach;
   8. the steps that it is recommended that affected individuals take in response to the Notifiable Information Breach;
   9. if it is Personal Information held jointly by one or more organisations which are subject to the Privacy Legislation, the name and contact details of those organisations;
   10. how many individuals are affected, and how many DevelopmentWA has notified; and
   11. an estimate of the cost to DevelopmentWA of the Notifiable Data Breach.

Notification to the affected individual

6. DevelopmentWA will also notify affected individuals as soon as reasonably practicable after it is determined that a Notifiable Information Breach has occurred (or that there are reasonable grounds to believe that it has occurred).

7. If it is not reasonably practicable for DevelopmentWA to give notice of the Notifiable Data Breach to every affected individual, it must make written notice publicly available for at least 12 months. DevelopmentWA will satisfy this requirement by including prominent notice on its website.

8. The notice to be provided to individuals must address the same matters as that given to the Commissioner (as set out above) except that the notice to individuals may not include details about the number of affected individuals, or the cost associated with the Breach (as prescribed by the Privacy Legislation).

Exceptions

9. DevelopmentWA is not required to notify you if an exception applies under s 64 of the Privacy Legislation. These exceptions include the following:
   1. If the Personal Information is held jointly by DevelopmentWA and another organisation which is subject to the Privacy Legislation, and the other organisation has notified the affected individual;
   2. If notification would result in a serious threat to the life, health, safety or welfare of any individual, including due to family violence;
   3. If notification would have a materials adverse affect on information security or is likely to lead to the occurrence of further information breaches in relation to the Personal information held by DevelopmentWA.

10. However, DevelopmentWA is still required to notify the Information Commissioner and must specify in its notice:
    1. the exception that it is relying upon;
    2. the extent of the notification to the affected individual (if at all); and
    3. if it is an exception relating to information security, whether DevelopmentWA will rely on the exception permanently, for a specified period of time or until the occurrence of a specific event; and
    4. the reasons why the exception is being relied upon.

What are cookies?

1. A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer’s browser. Many cookies from websites will be visible from your browser. You will usually find information on cookies and how to manage them under “options” or “settings” in your browser. You can choose to see cookies before deleting them and to keep cookies from some sites.

2. There are several different types of cookies (some of which are used on DevelopmentWA’s website):
   1. First party cookies: A “first party” cookie is sent from a website to your web browser when you visit that site. This is how websites “record” or “remember” things like your customised settings (such as your location), your shopping cart contents and your log in details.
   2. Temporary cookies: Temporary cookies generally only last for one browsing session (until you close your web browser).
   3. Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser and will be sent back to the applicable website each time you visit it.
   4. Third party cookies: Third party cookies are sent by businesses that provide content, such as advertising, on websites that you visit. Many websites feature advertising from third parties and those third parties may use cookies to track your browsing activities. They will normally use this information to “show” you targeted advertising – that is, advertising relating to products or services they think you will be interested in based on your prior web searches.
   5. Tracking / web pixels (also known as “web beacons”): Tracking pixels are clear picture files used to keep track of your navigation through a single website or a series of websites. Tracking pixels are normally used by websites that use third party traffic monitoring and tracking services.
   6. Local Stored Object cookie or “flash cookies”:Flash cookies contain more information than the other kinds of cookies referred to above and are not generally cleared when you clear cookies in your web browser.

1. Generally, we use cookies to learn about the way you interact with DevelopmentWA’s content and to help us to improve your experience when visiting DevelopmentWA’s website.

2. DevelopmentWA may record your visit through the use of cookies and may log the following information for purely statistical purposes:
   1. your server address;
   2. your top-level domain name (eg. .com, .gov, .uk, etc);
   3. the date and time of your visit to DevelopmentWA’s site;
   4. the pages accessed and documents downloaded by you;
   5. the previous site(s) visited by you; and
   6. the type of browser used by you.

3. Most of the information collected by cookies will not be sufficient to identify you – this is because the information collected will be very “general” in nature, relating to your interests (i.e. the products you have looked at) and the websites you have visited previously. Information collected via cookies will only be deemed to be “personal information” for the purposes of the Privacy Legislation or the Information Privacy Principles if your identity is reasonably apparent. There may be instances where this is the case, for example where a cookie is used to facilitate your login via a user account.

4. DevelopmentWA will not facilitate the merging of personally-identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information collected through any cookies, tracking/web pixels or Google advertising products or features, unless it has robust notice of and the relevant party’s consent to that merger.

1. Third party cookies are sent by different organisations (such as businesses which provide content such as advertising) to the owner of the website you are visiting – so in this instance this means by organisations other than DevelopmentWA.

2. Third party cookies are used on DevelopmentWA’s website to enable remarketing and reporting for impression assisted visits, website conversions, user demographics and user interests.

3. The third party cookies we may use on our website include (but are not limited to):
   1. Google Analytics: DevelopmentWA uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. Reports obtained from Google Analytics are used to help improve the efficiency and usability of DevelopmentWA’s website. Google Analytics uses first party cookies and JavaScript code to gather statistics about how this website is accessed. It anonymously tracks how our visitors interact with this website, including which website they came from previously and what they did on the site (i.e. which pages they visited). The information generated by the cookie and JavaScript code about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers located outside of Australia. Google will use the information transmitted to it for the purposes of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may transfer this information to third parties where it is required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
   2. Google Analytics Advertising Features: DevelopmentWA also uses Google Analytics Advertising Features. By enabling the Advertising Features, DevelopmentWA enables or permits Google Analytics to collect data about the traffic to DevelopmentWA’s website via the use of Google advertising cookies and identifiers, in addition to the data collected through the standard Google Analytics feature. The Google advertising cookies are used to, among other things, select advertising for users based on what is relevant to them, to improve reporting on campaign performance and to avoid showing ads the user has already seen.
   3. YouTube: We embed videos or insert links to videos from YouTube from time to time on our website. As a result, when you visit a page with content embedded from or linked to YouTube, you may be presented with cookies from these websites.
   4. Facebook tracking / web pixel: The Facebook tracking / web pixel is a piece of code provided by Facebook that is placed on or within a website to alert Facebook when a “conversion” is complete – that is, when a party clicks on a Facebook advertisement and then connects with website(s) of the party responsible for the advertisement. For example, if an e-commerce company wishes to pay affiliates based on how many items are purchased on their site, they would need some way to correlate the purchases on their site with the advertisements that were viewed or clicked on the affiliate site – the pixel enables the e-commerce company to do this. DevelopmentWA makes use of this tracking / web pixel to run and facilitate the campaigns and competitions it runs via Facebook. The tracking / web pixel allows DevelopmentWA to track the “conversions” that happen as a result of DevelopmentWA’s Facebook advertisements.

1. Notwithstanding that the information we collect via cookies is typically not personal information, if you do not want any information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature. You should note that cookies may be necessary to provide you with features and/or functions on this website and on other websites.

2. As noted above, DevelopmentWA sometimes links to or embeds content from other websites and organisations such as Facebook and YouTube. DevelopmentWA does not control the dissemination of third party cookies from these sites. In order to manage and/or reject and delete third party cookies, you will need to refer to the privacy policies of the relevant third party website(s).

3. If you want to control or opt out of the operation or application of Google Analytics and/or the Google Analytics Advertising Features, you should refer to Google’s guide(s) on opting out of those features at: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

1. When you browse and make use of DevelopmentWA’s social media pages (such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube), you are using an external site and are therefore subject to the privacy policies and practices of that site. If you have any questions or concerns regarding that site’s privacy policies and practices, you should review the privacy policy of the relevant site. DevelopmentWA does not endorse, and is not accountable for, any views expressed by third parties using that site.

2. DevelopmentWA records all information posted to its social media pages and uses that information for the purposes of administering the pages, for record keeping, for considering and/or addressing any comments made and for running competitions and campaigns. No attempt will be made to further identify social media subscribers except where requested and authorised by law.

How can I complain or give feedback on how DevelopmentWA deals with my personal information?

1. Should you wish to provide DevelopmentWA with feedback with respect to its management of your personal information, to complain about a breach by DevelopmentWA’s in relation to their privacy obligations, or to appeal a decision with respect to a request for access to or the correction of personal information, please contact our Privacy Office in the first instance.
