Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.dingojazz.com. We work to support and promote the activities of the Australian jazz community at all levels, from our renowned artists in international concert halls, to those starting out in their first jam-sessions, and everyone in between. Dingo’s aim is to create a platform that allows the whole-of-ecosystem to be able to connect and share information.
Keeping your information private is something that Dingo Jazz takes seriously. We want you to visit our site with confidence and without any unanswered questions. Our privacy policy is here so that you know exactly how we gather information and what we do (and will not do) with that information
Dingo Jazz complies with the Commonwealth of Australia Privacy Act 1998 and does not disclose personal information other than to facilitate the purchase and supply of products or services from Dingo Jazz or where required to by law. Information held is stored securely.

Cookies
Each customer’s computer uses an IP (Internet Protocol) address when they are online, which is logged by our server. We use your IP address to identify your web site use, assist in the ordering process, help diagnose any problems with your order and our server in general, and to gather broad demographic information such as visitor numbers.
Our website also uses cookies. Cookies are small text files a website stores on your computer and which are used to recognise repeat customers and enhance their experience when they return to the website, storing information about you and your preferences. Only the information that you provide, or the choices you make whilst visiting the website can be stored in a cookie. For example, a cookie cannot determine your e-mail address unless you choose to enter it into the appropriate field.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

Allowing a website to create a cookie does not give the Dingo Jazz website or any other website access to the rest of your computer, and only the website that created the cookie can read it. Cookies allow you to take advantage of the best features offered by websites. If you prefer, you can set your web browser to notify you when a site is using a cookie and/or to refuse it.

Embedded content from other websites
On our website, we may have a few links to other sites; that’s just part of operating on the web. As such, Dingo Jazz isn’t responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other web sites. We work hard to ensure all our links are for trusted and safe websites.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
