Privacy Policy

Ballina Naval And Maritime Museum (BNMM) is committed to protecting your privacy while interacting with our website and using our online services.

BNMM is subject to the NSW Privacy and Personal Information Act 1998 (the Act). BNMM’s Privacy Management Plan outlines how we comply with the Act and its Information Protection Principles. This Online Privacy Statement sets out how BNMM deals with personal information related to the content and use of its websites and for services provided through its website.

  1. Collection and Use of Information

1.1 Automatic logging of information

When you visit our website our server automatically makes an anonymous record of your visit. The various mechanisms used include server logs, proxy logs, and cookies.

The cookies used by our website do not collect any personal information and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information. You can choose to disallow cookies by changing settings on your web browser. However, if you reject all cookies some parts of our website may be inaccessible, unusable, or behave strangely.

The information collected by these mechanisms includes:

  • User’s server address and top level domain name
  • Date and time of visit to the site
  • Pages viewed and documents downloaded by the user
  • Time spent on the site
  • Sites previously visited
  • Type of browser used
  • Country of origin of the user.

BNMM uses the data collected for business purposes such as diagnosing a fault and improving our services. The data is not accessible except to authorised staff or Digital teams for these purposes. We will not attempt to identify users or their browsing activities unless called upon to do so by a law enforcement agency with an active warrant.

1.2 Collection and use of personal information

BNMM collects personal information when you provide it to receive specific services. The information will be used only for its intended purpose, or directly related purpose, as stated on the pages or forms you submit. Your personal information will not be used for any other purpose without your consent.

This allows us to process your current and future transactions as effectively as possible without asking you to provide the same information repeatedly and helps ensure the speed and efficiency of any of your dealings with the Organisations.

The information collected includes:

  • When purchase online, become a member or make an online donation or booking

This ensures that your credit card details are seen only by yourself, and our bank receiving the transaction. Credit card information is never recorded on the web server or elsewhere in BNMM. The only information that may be recorded by us is the last 4 digits of your credit card number and a transaction confirmation number, which you see in the confirmation screen and email.
