The Emerging Art Fair is run by The Emerging Art Fair Pty Ltd (ABN 15 700 986 447) ("we", "us"). This policy explains what personal information we collect through our website, exhibitor applications and ticket sales, and how we look after it.

• Exhibitors: name, contact details, ABN, address, artist bio, images of your work, website and social media links, and payment records.
• Ticket buyers and visitors: name, email, phone and order details.
• Newsletter subscribers: name and email address.
• Sponsors, suppliers and volunteers: contact details and anything needed to work with you.
• Website visitors: basic technical data such as browser type, device and pages visited (see Cookies and analytics below).

• To assess exhibitor applications and manage your participation in the fair
• To process payments, issue invoices and keep financial records
• To sell and deliver tickets and send event information
• To promote the fair and exhibiting artists, including artist names, bios and artwork images, websites and social media
• To send newsletters and updates, if you have opted in
• To run the event safely and meet our legal obligations

We only share what is needed with trusted providers who help us run the fair, including:

• Stripe for payments
• Google and Tally for forms, email and file storage
• Eventbrite for ticketing
• ActiveCampaign for email newsletters
• Our venue, Melbourne Showgrounds, and event contractors, where needed for safety or operations

We may also share information if the law requires it. We do not pass your details to sponsors for their own marketing without your permission.

We store information in secure cloud services such as Google Workspace and Stripe. Some of these providers may store data overseas, including in the United States. We choose reputable providers with strong security and limit access to people who need it. We keep information only as long as we need it for the fair and our legal and tax obligations, then delete or de-identify it.

Our website uses cookies and analytics tools to understand how people use the site and improve it. This data is generally anonymous. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as well.

We take photos and video at the fair to promote the event, artists and future fairs. You may appear in them. If you would prefer not to be photographed, let our photographer or a staff member know on the day, or email us to have an image removed.

You can ask to see or correct the personal information we hold about you, or unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in each email.

If you have a question or concern about privacy, email us at info@theemergingartfair.com.au and we will respond within 30 days. If you are not happy with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on our website.
