Privacy
Your information
What we collect, why, and what you can ask us to do about it.
Sydney Youth Musical Theatre (SYMT) — Sydney Youth Musical Theatre (Hornsby) Inc — respects your privacy. This statement explains what we collect, why, and what you can ask us to do about it.
What we collect
- When you join our mailing list: your name and email address.
- When you send an enquiry (costume hire, set hire, expressions of interest, production team applications): your name, email address, your message, and — for production team applications — any CV you choose to attach.
- When you audition or perform with us: the information on our audition and membership forms, including a parent or guardian's contact details where the performer is under 18.
We do not collect payment details through this website. Ticket sales are handled by TicketSearch and donations by Square, each under their own privacy terms.
Why we collect it
To answer your enquiry, to run our productions, and — only if you have asked for it — to send you news about our shows.
Marketing email
We only send marketing email to people who have asked for it, either by joining our mailing list or by ticking the box on an enquiry form. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately.
Who can see it
Your information is handled by SYMT committee members and volunteers who need it for the purpose above.
We use established third-party providers to hold it: a website and forms host, an email marketing platform, an email provider, and cloud storage for our committee records and photographs. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with anyone else for their own marketing.
These providers store information on servers outside Australia, including in the United States and the European Union. By using this website or joining our mailing list, you consent to your information being handled overseas.
If you would like to know which providers we currently use, ask us at enquiries@symt.com.au and we will tell you.
Photographs
We photograph our productions, and those photographs appear on this website, in our programmes and on our social media. Cast members — and a parent or guardian where the performer is under 18 — agree to this when they sign our Code of Conduct on joining a production.
If you would like a photograph of yourself or your child removed, contact us at enquiries@symt.com.au and we will remove it from anything we control.
How long we keep it
We keep our records permanently.
SYMT has been staging productions since 1979, and our cast lists, programmes, photographs and correspondence are the history of the company. We are a volunteer organisation, and we do not run a routine deletion process.
That means if you have contacted us, we will generally still hold that correspondence. You can ask us to delete information we hold about you at any time, and we will — see Your choices below. We remove you from our mailing list as soon as you unsubscribe.
Your choices
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, or unsubscribe from our emails at any time.
Write to enquiries@symt.com.au. Requests are handled by the President, the Secretary and the Website Administrator, and we will respond within 30 days.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
