Privacy Policy

If you are under 15 years of age, you must provide this Privacy Policy to your parent or legal guardian and obtain their permission before using our services.

Global Indigenous Times (“GIT”, “we”, “our” or “us”) operates the Global Indigenous Times website, digital publications, newsletters, events and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

We are an Indigenous-owned media organisation committed to responsible handling of personal information.

GIT collects personal information that is reasonably necessary for the operation of our Service. This may include your name, email address, phone number, organisation name, billing and payment information, account login details, IP address and device information, and any information you provide when contacting us. We may also collect information provided in connection with advertising, sponsored content, event bookings, newsletter subscriptions or noticeboard submissions. In addition, we collect information relating to your use of our website, newsletters and digital platforms.

GIT collects your personal information for the purpose of administering your access to and use of our website, digital platforms and publications, establishing and maintaining your account, processing and delivering subscriptions, processing payments (including via Stripe or other secure third-party payment gateways), managing digital advertising and sponsored content placements, publishing announcements, tenders, employment advertisements or noticeboard content, processing image licensing or content permissions, responding to enquiries or requests you submit, administering competitions, surveys or promotional activities (including identifying and notifying winners), managing event registrations and bookings, sending newsletters and editorial updates you subscribe to, providing customer support, and understanding our audiences to improve our content and services.

We handle your personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and, where applicable, relevant international privacy regulations. We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We also take reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold is accurate and up to date.

We may disclose your personal information to related entities within the National Indigenous Times Group, business partners and sponsors where relevant to services you request, and external service providers such as payment processors, IT providers, email marketing platforms and analytics providers. We may also disclose information to professional advisers where reasonably necessary, and to regulatory authorities where required by law. We may use aggregated or de-identified data for research, audience analysis and reporting purposes.

Where information is disclosed internationally, for example through global service providers, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate data protection safeguards are in place.

Where you provide your details to us, you consent to GIT using your personal information to send you newsletters, editorial updates, invitations to events or webinars, and information about products, services or partnerships offered by GIT or associated entities. You may opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

GIT and our third-party service providers may use cookies, analytics tools and similar technologies to improve and personalise your experience, identify and display content that may be of interest to you, deliver targeted advertising, analyse website traffic and audience engagement, and gather audience ratings and anonymous usage data. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, although this may affect certain features of the Service.

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and request correction of any inaccurate or outdated information by contacting us.

If you believe we have handled your personal information improperly, you may lodge a complaint with us and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner or the relevant data protection authority in your jurisdiction.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version will always be published on our website. Your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of any updated Privacy Policy.
