Q&A

Question: Can I legally use the information I collect from users of my website to promote an online competition?

Answer:

Yes. But depending on the nature of your business you are also likely to need to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) which involves disclosing this activity to users of your site in your Privacy Policy. You may also need to seek further information and guidance on competition rules and requirements in each applicable state.
