FURTHER INFORMATION

What is this consent for?

This Consent authorises the Department and the State to use the Individual’s personal information and copyright material, together with information about the Individual’s participation in Departmental and State initiatives, for the purposes specified in the Project details. This consent covers the entire or partial use of the Individual’s personal information and copyright material in conjunction with other words and images.

(9)

school or TAFE newsletters, magazines, websites (including Social Media Websites) and other school, TAFE, departmental or State publications, as well as in television advertising, videos, brochures, forms, public relations displays, annual reports, press advertising, internal

documents such as manuals, websites, certificates and strategic plans, and posters and other promotional material. There may also be occasions on which the Department may approve the media, such as local newspapers and television stations, using information and copyright material in relation to the Individual (for example, where the Individual is involved in dramatic or musical performances, sporting activities or award ceremonies).

Social Media Websites

Individuals should be aware that publication of their personal information and Individual work on Social Media Websites is similar to publication in newsletters, magazines, brochures, etc; however publication on Social Media Websites effectively constitutes publication of that material to the world at large.

Further, Individuals should be aware that the publication of an Individual’s personal

information and Individual work, by the Department or the State, on a Social Media Website typically constitutes a permanent and publicly available record of that material. This means that third parties may be able to copy and use an Individual’s personal information and Individual work that has been published on a Social Media Website for any purpose and without the consent or knowledge of the Department, the State or the Individual. Individuals should not grant their consent to the Department or the State to use the

Individual’s personal information or Individual work in connection with a Social Media Website if the Individual does not agree to the material being permanently available to the public. If an Individual’s personal information or Individual work is published on a Social Media Website, then that material will be governed by the privacy policy and terms of use of the relevant Social Media Website. The Department or State cannot reasonably control how an Individual’s personal information or Individual work is used by third parties once the material has been published on a Social Media Website.

What is copyright material?

An Individual’s copyright material may include written work (e.g. stories and poems), paintings, pictures, drawings, designs, photographs, videos, films, music, performance,

recordings, computer programs, websites, sculptures, fashion, metal- or wood-works made by them or to which they contributed. In the case of students, it includes, but is not limited to, work that they create in the course of their studies during the time they are enrolled at a State school. These materials may form part of their academic assessment or be part of their studies generally and may attract copyright.

The Department understands that students and volunteers generally own the intellectual property rights in the material they create and that this Consent is not meant to transfer the Individual’s ownership of the intellectual property in their copyright material.

This Consent does not provide for copyright consent in relation to copyright works an Individual creates in the course of employment (whether or not the material is created in normal work hours or using departmental facilities or equipment). Where copyright material is created by a State employee while performing their duties under the terms of their

employment, the copyright is owned by the State as the employer (section 35 Copyright Act 1968). There are limited exceptions to this including, for example, where the copyright material is created by an employee pursuant to a prior agreement with the employer. Generally, the deciding factor is whether the employee is performing their official duties. In addition, section 176 of the Copyright Act 1968 applies where the work was created by or under the direction or control of the State. However, moral rights may still apply to copyright material created by an employee. The Queensland Public Sector Intellectual Property

Guidelines provide further information on intellectual property. If as an employee you have any further queries about the ownership of the intellectual property in respect of the works

(10)

you create you should contact the Legal and Administrative Law Branch.

What is personal information?

Personal information includes information or opinions, whether true or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained from the information or opinion. This includes the Individual’s name, recording or image. It also includes the Individual’s educational information such as the Individual's assessment and results, and health information and court orders provided to the Department, where such information may enable the Individual to be identified.

What if I give my consent and later change my mind?

The consent will be in effect until withdrawn. The consent can be modified or withdrawn at any time by writing to the Department. However, any changes will apply only from the date that the Department receives any consent withdrawal. Any existing material will not be withdrawn from use if the Department or the State is currently using the material or where the Department or the State has entered into contractual obligations in relation to this

material. In such cases the withdrawal will be effective after the Department or the State’s use is complete or after the contractual obligations come to an end.

Where the Department or another person uploads material to a Social Media Website or other website, it may need to accept contractual obligations that are perpetual and irrevocable. It may not be possible to ensure that all copies of the material are deleted or cease to be used, and the Department and the State cannot take responsibility for doing so.

Privacy

The consent to the recording, use and disclosure of the Individual’s personal information and Individual work is required in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 and the Information Privacy Act 2009. Personal information will be stored securely. The Department will only disclose the Individual’s personal information in accordance with the consent, except where authorised or required by law. If you wish to access or correct any of the personal information on this form or discuss how it has been dealt with, or if you have a concern or complaint about the way the Individual’s personal

information has been collected, used, stored or disclosed, please contact the relevant organisation.
