Your privacy is important
The Canberra International Music Festival Ltd.

The Board has decided under the provisions of that Act relating to smaller businesses not to “opt-in” at this stage to the formal procedures of the Act in view of the extra administrative costs involved in formally opting in.
Our commitment to privacy is reflected in:
• the freedom to visit our website and access most information without the need to give us any personal information;
• the choice to give us personal information if you wish to receive information about the CIMF and related activities; and
• a pledge that we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold in accordance with the Privacy Act and accepted industry standards.
