Personal Information

Personal information is defined as information about an individual whose identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained by the information.

No personal information is collected automatically through this site. All personal information collected and/or stored must be voluntarily provided by you, eg. through online forms and email for specific service delivery purposes.

Personal information about you will only be collected when you voluntarily participate in an activity that asks for information, such as:

• sending an enquiry or feedback;
• participating in a survey;
• registering to download an ACT Government tender or business opportunity;
• registering to be notified of future ACT Government tenders and business opportunities; and
• registering to become a prequalified supplier.

If you choose not to provide personal information when completing one or more of these activities, you may not be able to complete that activity. If you choose not to participate in these activities, your choice will in no way affect your ability to browse this website.

You may recommend changes to your personal information that you believe to be incorrect. The obligation to correct information is subject to any applicable limitation in a law that provides a right to require the collection or amendment of documents.

Use of Information

Non-personally identifiable website traffic data is analysed to improve our services.

The Territory will only use your personal information for the purposes for which you gave it to us. The Territory does not share information about you with other government agencies or other organisations, such as financial institutions, contractors or service providers, without your permission, unless it:

• is necessary to provide you with a service that you have requested;
• is required or authorised by law;
• is reasonably necessary for law enforcement in certain situations and for the protection of public revenue; or
• will prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to somebody’s health.

If you believe that your personal information is being used for a purpose other than what was intended when submitted, you may contact us via the details listed below. In all cases, the Territory will take reasonable steps to verify your identity prior to granting access to your personal information or making corrections to the information collected.

The Australian Capital Territory is bound by the Information Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cwlth).
