3. How we collect information

We may collect information:

  • directly from you when you contact us;
  • when you submit an enquiry through our website;
  • when you subscribe to our email updates;
  • when you communicate with us by email or other communication channels;
  • when you enter into, or negotiate, a licensing, publishing or commercial arrangement with us;

  • negotiating potential commercial arrangements;
  • administering agreements, invoices and payments;

5. Email marketing

If you subscribe to our email updates, we may use your email address to send you information about new music, catalogue updates, exclusive content, opportunities, announcements, events and other communications relating to Ebony Vandermont or Vandermonts Publishing.

Marketing communications will be sent in accordance with applicable Australian requirements.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the communication or by contacting us.

We will not treat a licensing or general business enquiry as automatic consent to add you to a marketing mailing list.

Australian commercial electronic marketing generally requires consent, sender identification and an easy unsubscribe mechanism. (ACMA)

6. Disclosure of information

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to operate our business, including to:

  • website hosting and technology providers;
  • email and communications service providers;
  • professional advisers;
  • accountants, lawyers and other professional service providers;
  • payment or invoicing providers where applicable;
  • business partners where necessary to facilitate a transaction or project;
  • government authorities or law enforcement where required or authorised by law.

We do not sell personal information as a business practice.

7. Overseas disclosure

Some technology, hosting, communications or professional service providers we use may operate or store information outside Australia.

Where applicable, your information may therefore be processed or stored overseas.

Because third-party services used by websites can change over time, the specific countries involved may vary depending on the services we use.

8. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary website forms or unsecured email unless specifically requested by us.

9. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legitimate business, contractual, accounting, legal and record-keeping purposes.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may securely delete, destroy or de-identify it, subject to any legal or contractual obligations requiring us to retain it.

10. Access and correction

You may contact us to request access to personal information we hold about you or to ask that inaccurate information be corrected.

We may need to verify your identity before processing such a request.

11. Privacy complaints

If you believe we have mishandled your personal information, please contact us first so that we can investigate and attempt to resolve your concern.

Please provide sufficient information for us to understand the issue and, where possible, identify the relevant information or interaction.

If you are dissatisfied with our response and Australian privacy law applies to the circumstances, you may have the right to make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

12. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for functions such as website operation, security, preferences, analytics and embedded third-party content.

The technologies used may change as our website and service providers change.

For further information, please see our Cookie Policy.

13. Third-party websites

Our websites may contain links or embedded content from third-party services, including music streaming platforms and social media platforms.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.

You should review the privacy policies of those services before providing them with personal information.

14. Children

Our website is not specifically directed toward children and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us.
