Privacy Policy
This site is owned and operated by the City of Karratha using software licensed from Social Pinpoint. For details on how the City of Karratha collects and protects your personal information in the course of your engagement with What We Make It Karratha, refer to its Privacy Statement below. For details of how Social Pinpoint may access personal information, please refer to Social Pinpoint’s Privacy Policy.
The City of Karratha takes the privacy of the participants using this site very seriously.
Our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information is regulated by the Local Government Act, 1995, Freedom of Information Act 1992 (WA) and principles contained within the Privacy Act, 1988 (Cth).
This Privacy Statement applies to What We Make It Karratha. For information about the broader collection and use of personal information by the City of Karratha, please refer to our Confidential Information Policy CG13.
How will we use and disclose your information?
We use the personal information about you to:
- administer the site and manage your account
- identify when you sign into your account
- send you newsletters and information, but only when you have agreed to us sending you this information or when the information is necessary to assist with the administration of the site
- respond to queries that you have contacted us about
- attribute content that you post on the site to you
- analyse use of the site to inform ongoing improvements and enhancements
- inform policy decisions by the City of Karratha
- for any other purposes that we indicate to you when we request your personal information.
Content that you post on the site publicly will be able to be viewed by everyone who uses the site. Each post will contain your username and any publicly available reports from consultations, and may include quotes from participants in forums, surveys and other consultation tools.
Your feedback, including all demographic details you choose to submit, will be forwarded in the first instance to the relevant City of Karratha work area with responsibility for administering the subject matter or project to which your feedback relates.
The City of Karratha has created a central repository (the Knowledge Bank) of all survey responses. The City of Karratha seeks to maintain your anonymity within the Knowledge Bank. Any personally identifiable information that you provide, including name and contact details, will be excluded or masked within the Knowledge Bank to preserve your anonymity. When you have consented, staff members will also add any verbal feedback you provide to them, in their interactions with you, to the Knowledge Bank. The Knowledge Bank tags survey responses based on the subject matter and the suburb from which they are received. Staff members can filter the responses in the Knowledge Bank by subject matter, suburb, age, and/or gender to inform future projects, gain insights into neighbourhood sentiment or key themes, and to ensure the provision of consistent service delivery across the organisation.
To further protect your anonymity, staff members can only view statistics on responses to questions about sexual orientation and ethnicity in the Knowledge Bank where a minimum 10 per cent of participants provide the same response. Unlike other demographic responses staff members cannot filter these statistics in conjunction with detailed survey responses.
While the City of Karratha takes multiple measures to protect the anonymity of survey respondents, we ask that you help us reduce the risk of inappropriate information access and exposure by not including other information in your survey response that could possibly identify you or others.
Moderation
By monitoring this additional information that you provide, we are able to protect the integrity of the discussions from individuals and groups who may attempt to unduly influence the outcomes of a consultation process. For example, we check to ensure each user has a single email account. We also review the site to protect it from spam or trolls.
Third parties
We may also disclose personal information to third parties, and you consent to us disclosing your personal information, for the following purposes:
The following research consultants engaged by the City of Karratha to assist with reviewing, interpreting and gaining insights into feedback submitted via What We Make It Karratha:
The insights derived from the feedback by the research consultants assist the City of Karratha with identifying particular patterns or areas for service improvement and the creation of better projects, plans and policies. The information supplied to the research consultants is limited to raw feedback responses and excludes the provision of your name, contact details or other information that could directly identify you. All consultants have agreed to the collection, use and disclosure of the raw feedback responses in accordance this Privacy Collection Statement for using What We Make It Karratha.
The City of Karratha will not disclose your information to another external party without your consent, unless required or authorised by law.
From time to time, the City of Karratha engages research consultants to help identify particular patterns or areas for service improvements, and for project and policy development. Knowledge Bank information, when supplied to research consultants, will have personally identifiable information excluded but include demographic details you have chosen to share in your survey response. All consultants have agreed to the collection, use and disclosure of survey responses in accordance with this Privacy Collection Statement for using What We Make It Karratha.
