If this occurs, we will explain the reason where we are legally permitted to do so.
We aim to keep personal information accurate and up to date.
Where Dress Riot provides profile or account settings that allow you to update your information yourself, you can make changes directly through your account.
You can also contact us if you believe information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
We will take reasonable steps to correct information where appropriate.
Where reasonably practicable and permitted by our services, you may have the option to interact with Dress Riot without identifying yourself or by using a pseudonym.
However, some features may require identifying information, such as an email address, in order to create and maintain an account or provide particular services.
Dress Riot does not generally need sensitive information in order for you to use the platform.
Please do not voluntarily provide sensitive personal information about yourself or another person unless there is a genuine reason to do so.
Sensitive information can include information about health, race or ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, political opinions and other categories defined by Australian privacy law.
If you post sensitive information publicly or in a Group, you should understand that other people may be able to see it depending on the visibility of that content.
