Privacy Policy for Stradbroke Chamber Music Festival
Our privacy promise is that we will aim for best practice in the handling of personal information, by following the privacy principles below unless authorised or required by law to depart from them.

The types of personal information we hold
We hold personal information about the members of our association, Stradbroke Chamber Music Festival Inc., as well as the contact details of suppliers and other types of professional associates. We also hold the contact details of individuals who have purchased from us, downloaded free materials from us, made an enquiry about our festivals, and/or subscribed to our newsletters or website.
Our third party service providers
The contact details of individuals with whom we have a relationship (including our association members, and individuals who work for our clients, suppliers and others ) may be held offshore, including ‘in the cloud’, by our third party service providers.
Our third party service providers are currently MailChimp (names and email addresses of subscribers to our newsletters) and 4MBS Classic FM (who process our ticketing for us).
Financial information about individuals who have purchased via 4MBS Classic FM is held and processed on our behalf by 4MBS Classic FM. We do not know, or have access to, a purchaser’s debit or credit card or bank account information.
Our newsletters are mailed to our subscribers and other contacts on our behalf by MailChimp. MailChimp uses single pixel gifs, also called web beacons, in the newsletters, to create reports for us about which of our contacts has or hasn’t opened emails or clicked links from a newsletter. Further details are available in MailChimp’s Privacy Policy. Our subscribers and other contacts can ‘opt out’ of receiving further newsletters at any time.
We use Google Analytics to measure how many people visit our website, how they found our site (e.g. organic search, clicking on a link from a tweet, or via an ad), which pages on our site they view, and whether they go on to purchase or download one of our products. This data is not shared with any other third party besides Google technical support (and then only if we require it). While Google Analytics does not directly identify users, as mentioned above we do collect the name and email address of individuals who download or purchase our products online.
