Privacy collection notice - Subscription mailing service

You are providing your name and contact information to subscribe to a newsletter and/or email alert managed by the NSW Food Authority. The information you have given the Food Authority will only be used for your subscription. Email alerts and newsletters are offered as an ‘opt in’ subscription. You can 'opt out' at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the alert.

The Food Authority may provide your name and contact information to a service provider who distributes the email newsletter. The Food Authority will not disclose your personal information to anybody else unless required or authorised by law, such as by court order.

The Food Authority will store your personal information for as long as you subscribe to the newsletter and/or email alert.  

If you unsubscribe, your information may not be permanently deleted from the service provider system and instead, stored on a suppression list that prevents future emails from being sent to your email address.  

To have your data permanently removed from the suppression list database, please send a request to:

food.contact@dpi.nsw.gov.au
