Privacy collection notice

We have a wide range of functions and powers relating to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information, most of which are set out in specific State and Commonwealth laws including the Local Government Act 2020. In addition, we may generally collect personal information in accordance with the PDP Act.

Personal information is collected for the purpose of obtaining your survey submissions, addressing your comments or requests, improving our services and to remain in contact with you. The information collected from the survey may be used to contact you about Glen Eira Library activities or events and for de-identified data analytics. 

Contact details

Your contact details are not made public as part of the survey. Any personal information you do share will only be accessed by the Library, Arts and Culture Team for the purpose of compiling the survey data.

Submissions made public

Submitters should note that all survey results received may be made public unless you request that it not be made public, or Council considers it should not be made public. That will usually only occur for reasons associated with fairness. 

Survey results that are made public will be de-identified.

If you are concerned that the information you consider providing the Council may be defamatory, you should seek independent legal advice.

Survey results may be included within the official Council agenda and minutes, which are permanent public documents on the Council’s website.
