Scripts Australia Privacy Policy

Scripts Australia recognises the trust you place in us when you provide us with personal information. We are commit ted to protecting individual personal information and have adop ted the National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth).     The following information sets out how we manage your personal information and protect your privacy, and should be read in conjunction with our Writer and Subscriber Terms and Conditions.

Why we collect your personal information

If you are a Writer, the main reason we collect information about you is to assist you to promote your Work to our Subscribers.  We will not give access to your personal information or your Work to other writers who use Scripts Australia’s service (“Service”). 

 If you are a Subscriber, the main reason we collect information about you is to assist you to source literary material suitable for further development or production.

If you have registered to receive our e-bulletin, Script Sirens, we will use your details to provide this to you.   If you decide you no longer want to receive Script Sirens, just let us know next time we contact you.

We may also contact you to let you know about any changes or improvements to our Service.   If you do not want to receive these updates, please let us know.

If you do not provide the information we request at registration, we may not be able to deliver the services you require.

How we collect your personal information

The information we collect wherever possible and practical to do so, will be collec ted directly from you, the person concerned, during the registration process.

We do/do not [DELETE AS APPLICABLE] use cookies at the Scripts Australia Site.  Cookies are small bits of information that a web site transfers to your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes and allows the tracking of your interests and an indication of content that is relevant to you.  The use of cookies is an industry-wide practice and they are used at most web sites.

Why we will disclose information to another person or organisation

If you are a Writer, we will provide your email address and telephone number (if you supplied this on registration with the Service) to Subscribers when they select your Work to download from the Script Vault to enable our Subscribers to contact you.  When a Subscriber views your log lines, they will be given your name only.

If you are a Subscriber, when you download any Work from the Script Vault, the Writer of the Work will be sent an email informing them of the name of the Subscriber making the download.  Your contact details will not be included in this email.  After 21 days from the date downloading any Work (other than those submit ted in the form of log-lines or synopsis), Scripts Australia will email your postal address to the Writer concerned so that they may write to you to discuss the Work downloaded.

Under certain circumstances, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or authorised third parties to comply with the law.  Otherwise, we do not sell, hire or lease personal information to any other person or organisation.

How we keep your personal information secure, accurate and up to date

We will use up to date techniques and processes which meet current industry standards to ensure that your personal information is kept secure and confidential, free from unauthorised access and disclosure.

It is important for us, and for you, that the information we hold is accurate and up to date. In this, we rely on you to help us.   We ask that you contact us whenever there are any changes to your personal details, so that we can update our records.

 We will not retain any of your information for any longer than is required by us.  

How do you access personal information we hold about you

The information we hold about you is yours to access and correct, and you have the right to request access to any information held by us which relates to you.   You also have the right to request the correction of any information which relates to you is inaccurate.  If you need to access or would like us to amend or delete your information, or have other questions about our policy just write to us at the following address:
