Website Privacy Notice

How AIUS NSW collects, uses and protects information submitted through this website.

Effective 26 September 2026

The Australian Institute of Urban Studies, NSW Division (AIUS NSW) respects your privacy. This notice explains the information collected through this website and how it is handled.

Information we collect

Newsletter signups: your email address and the page where you subscribed.

Membership applications: your name, email, phone number, organisation, selected membership type and interests.

Event registrations: your name, email, optional phone number and attendance method.

Contact messages and blog comments: the information you enter in those forms.

Account and service information: sign-in records needed to provide member or administrator access, plus limited website analytics and security logs.

How we use information

We use personal information to administer memberships, registrations and member access; send requested confirmations and event or institute updates; answer enquiries; moderate public comments; operate and secure the website; and understand how the site is used.

Newsletter signup is separate from membership. Joining the mailing list does not create a membership application or require an account.

Sharing and service providers

We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, database storage, authentication, analytics and email delivery. We disclose only what is reasonably necessary for those services or where required by law.

Storage, security and retention

We use access controls and administrative safeguards designed to protect the information held through this website. No internet service can be guaranteed completely secure. We retain records only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, legal obligations and institute administration.

Your choices

You may ask to access or correct your information, unsubscribe from email updates, or request deletion where appropriate. Reply to a newsletter email or use the contact form below. We may need to retain limited records where required for administration, security or law.

Updates to this notice

We may update this notice as the website or our practices change. The current version will always be published on this page with its effective date.

Privacy enquiries

Send privacy, access, correction or deletion requests through our secure contact form. Your message will be routed to the protected AIUS NSW administrative inbox.
