Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 August 2026
Slightly Left of Centre ("SLC", "we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored and disclosed when you visit the Slightly Left of Centre website, subscribe to our mailing list, submit an enquiry or otherwise interact with us online.
Where applicable, we aim to handle personal information consistently with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
1. Information We May Collect
The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with the website.
Information may include your name, email address, information contained in an enquiry or message, mailing-list subscription details, communication preferences and any other information you voluntarily provide to us.
The website and its technology providers may also automatically receive limited technical information such as browser type, device type, IP address, referring page, approximate location, pages viewed and general website usage information.
We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information through the general website.
Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive or confidential information in contact enquiries.
2. How We Collect Information
We may collect information when you subscribe to the mailing list, submit a contact form, communicate with us directly, interact with website functionality or otherwise voluntarily provide information.
Some technical information may also be collected automatically through website hosting infrastructure, security systems, cookies or similar technologies.
3. Why We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to:
- respond to enquiries and communications;
- manage mailing-list subscriptions;
- send music, release, video, news and project updates where you have consented to receive them;
- operate, secure and maintain the website;
- understand general website performance and usage;
- prevent spam, abuse and security incidents;
- maintain administrative records; and
- comply with applicable legal obligations.
We will not sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers.
4. Mailing List and Marketing Communications
If you voluntarily join the Slightly Left of Centre mailing list, we may use your email address and, where provided, your name to send you relevant updates.
These may include information about new music, videos, creative projects, announcements and other Slightly Left of Centre news.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe facility included with marketing communications or by contacting us directly.
Once an unsubscribe request has been processed, we will stop sending marketing communications to that address, except where a communication is required or otherwise permitted by law.
5. Cookies and Website Technology
The website may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies required for website functionality, security, authentication, preferences or analytics.
Some third-party content embedded within the website may also use cookies or similar technology.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to restrict or disable certain cookies through your browser settings.
Disabling some technologies may affect how parts of the website operate.
6. Spotify, YouTube and Other Third-Party Services
The website may integrate or link to services including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X, SoundCloud and other platforms.
When you interact with content provided by a third party, that provider may collect information in accordance with its own terms and privacy policy.
Slightly Left of Centre does not control the privacy practices of those third-party services.
We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policies before using those services.
7. Website Hosting and Service Providers
We may use third-party technology providers to host, operate, secure, maintain or administer the website and its data.
Where necessary for these functions, limited personal information may be processed by those providers on our behalf.
We may also use providers for services such as hosting, databases, email delivery, website administration, analytics, video hosting and music streaming integrations.
8. Overseas Processing
Some service providers used by the website operate internationally.
As a result, information may in some circumstances be stored or processed outside Australia, including in countries where our technology or platform providers maintain infrastructure.
The location of third-party infrastructure may change over time.
Where applicable, we take reasonable steps when selecting and using service providers and encourage users to review the privacy practices of relevant third-party platforms.
9. Disclosure of Information
We may disclose information to technology providers and contractors where reasonably necessary to operate or secure the website, provide requested services or manage communications.
We may also disclose information where required or authorised by law, to protect our legal rights, or where reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, security issues or misuse of the website.
We do not ordinarily disclose mailing-list or enquiry information publicly.
10. Storage and Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, interference, loss, alteration or disclosure.
Access to administrative website functionality should be restricted to authorised users.
However, internet-based systems cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate administrative purposes, or as required by law.
Mailing-list information may generally be retained until you unsubscribe or request removal.
Contact enquiries may be retained for a reasonable period where required for correspondence, record keeping or legitimate business purposes.
Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted, anonymised or securely disposed of where appropriate.
12. Access and Correction
You may contact us if you would like to request access to personal information we hold about you or ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
There may be circumstances in which access cannot be provided, including where permitted or required by law.
13. Deletion Requests
You may contact us to request deletion of personal information associated with you.
Where there is no legal, security or legitimate administrative reason requiring continued retention, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify the relevant information.
14. Children and Young People
This website is intended for a general audience and is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.
If you are a child or young person and are unsure whether to provide personal information through the website, we encourage you to discuss it with a parent, guardian or responsible adult.
If we become aware that personal information has been collected in circumstances where it should not reasonably be retained, we may delete it.
15. External Links
Our website may contain links to websites operated by other organisations.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.
Accessing an external website is subject to that provider's own privacy policy and terms.
16. Privacy Complaints
If you have a concern about how your personal information has been handled, please contact us with details of your concern.
We will review the matter and aim to respond within a reasonable period.
Where the Privacy Act applies and you are not satisfied with our response, you may have the right to raise the matter with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
