The online ‘YourSay’ service is provided using a digital platform operated by the Chief Minister, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate (CMTEDD).
The ACT Government respects the rights and privacy of all individuals and is committed to complying with the Information Privacy Act 2014 and the Territory Privacy Principles and protecting the personal information we hold.
This Privacy Policy describes how the ACT Government collects and uses your personal information collected through the ‘YourSay’ website. Defined terms appear in bold and definitions appear at the end of the Statement.
CMTEDD (via Social Pinpoint which is contracted service provider of CMTEDD) collects your personal information as part of providing the Territory’s online community engagement services, informing you about these services, complying with contractual and other legal obligations, responding to your enquiries and administering its community engagement technology.
CMTEDD may use your personal information for these purposes, any other purpose listed on a collection statement at the point of collection, or in any other way made clear at the time of collecting the personal information. In cases where feedback is received about an engagement opportunity that is subject to another Territory agency's Terms and Conditions, or arrangements for handling personal information, your feedback may be provided to the agency concerned.
In your feedback to the ACT Government, you should not provide personal information, including personal health information (for example, any information (medical or otherwise) about a person’s health, mental status, treatments received etc) about any other person (a third person).
User feedback
We collect the comments, votes, posts and selections you contribute when interacting with the feedback mechanisms provided through 'YourSay', which include:
This information is analysed and interpreted by CMTEDD staff, staff of other ACT Government agencies and in some circumstances, third party contractors who have been engaged to assist in the analysis of the data collected, to inform the creation of better projects, plans and policies.
Can you remain anonymous or withhold personal information?
Yes. You can access and participate in select ‘YourSay’ engagements anonymously, without disclosing any personal information. Some identified studies may require you to register and establish an account in order to participate. Users may choose to adopt a pseudonym for these studies.
Registered Users
When you register for a ‘YourSay’ account or sign-in to your existing account, the information we may collect includes:
For engagements where you do not register for a ‘YourSay’ account, we may seek to collect from you:
Demographic details are requested in order to help us determine the degree to which views of participants are representative of a diverse cross-section of the community.

For example, we check the database to ensure each user has a single email account on the site. We also frequently review the site for trolls and spammers.
If you are registered and signed-in to your user account, the contributions and feedback you provide may be linked with your username and any demographic details you have recorded in your account.

Whole of Government Engagement Customer Relationship Management System
If you provide your personal information during an engagement, it may be included in a Whole of Government Customer Relationship Management System (CRM), together with the feedback or views you provide, and handled in accordance with Schedule 1 of the Information Privacy Act 2014, and the Territory Privacy Principles (TPPs).
The CRM system has been designed to provide directorates’ employees or authorised contractors with a place to store information about engagements with stakeholders and access information about engagements with stakeholders undertaken by other employees or authorised contractors. Information in the CRM may be used to inform subsequent engagements with the same or similar stakeholders. The use of the database is intended to strengthen coordination between ACT Public Sector agencies and reduce duplication of effort and stakeholder fatigue, by sharing information about engagement activities across government.
More detailed information about how your personal information is handled is available in the CRM Privacy Notice available at https://www.act.gov.au/privacy. Further information about directorates’ privacy policies and where to locate them can be found in the CRM Privacy Notice.
