DrumStory® respects the privacy of all our customers and business contacts, and is committed to safeguarding the personal information which you provide us. Also, DrumStory® is subject to the requirements of the National Privacy Principles which are contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (the Privacy Act).
Our Privacy Policy outlines how DrumStory® will handle personal information about you. As we collect personal information online through our website(s) or any of our affiliated and/or associated websites and/or domains and bookings.iconicperformances.com.au (booking online e-store), over the telephone and through email correspondence this Privacy Policy also outlines our approach to privacy issues (at 8 below).
Our Privacy Policy is divided into the following sections:
- How is personal information collected?
- What personal information does DrumStory® collect, and why?
- Will personal information be given to anyone else?
- Security of personal information.
- Anonymous transactions.
- Non-customer information.
- Access and correction.
- Online privacy issues.
- Additional privacy information and how to contact DrumStory®.
How is personal information collected?
DrumStory® is a live entertainment theatrical production available to the public for entertainment viewing. In order to provide customers with a quality event scheduling service, DrumStory® offers customers the ability to book and/or purchase shows, performances, events and packages through three different sales channels.
- A national call centre provides a telephone sales service.
- In-person sales are available through organized and/schedule meetings.
- Online sales are available through their company website http://bookings.iconicperformances.com.au .
These sales channels reflect the different ways in which DrumStory® collects personal information about customers. Collection will occur at the time you make a booking and/or purchase, or when you register as a ICONIC PERFORMANCES member, through our website.
What personal information does DrumStory® collect, and why?
If you book and purchase a show/performance/event from ICONIC PERFORMANCE'S DrumStory® website, we need to collect personal information about you, including your name, address and telephone number. The main reason we need this information is so we can contact you in the case of an event cancellation or to notify change of event details or replacement of lost confirmation invoice. We may also need some of this information in order to process your payment (for example, if you pay by credit card online). Unless you tell us otherwise, ICONIC PERFORMANCES may use personal information about you for marketing and research purposes. You can let us know about this at any time - all you need to do is contact ICONIC PERFORMANCES if you no longer wish to receive marketing material.
Will personal information be given to anyone else?

Unless you tell us otherwise, ICONIC PERFORMANCES and DrumStory® may disclose your contact details to venues and promoters so that they can provide you with promotional material about upcoming events. As ICONIC PERFORMANCES and DrumStory® uses a third party company to process our booking forms, ICONIC PERFORMANCES and DrumStory® may share your personal information with other ICONIC PERFORMANCES and DrumStory® sponsors, associates or company affiliations or entities. This may, for example, help us ensure that information collected is accurate, complete and up-to-date and also better enable us to understand and meet your needs and interests.
