About this statement
This Website Privacy Statement explains how Frontier Economics Pty Ltd (Frontier Economics) handles personal information collected when an individual accesses or interacts with our website.
Frontier Economics handles personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply.
This statement relates to personal information collected through or in connection with our website. Additional privacy information may be provided where we collect personal information for a specific purpose, including recruitment.
Personal information we collect
We use our website to provide information about Frontier Economics, our services, publications and other activities.
The personal information we collect through our website may include:

- names, email addresses, telephone numbers, organisations and other contact details;
- information contained in enquiries, messages or comments sent to us;
- information provided when registering for an event or subscribing to publications or other communications;
- information provided when applying for employment; and
- technical or website usage information where that information identifies an individual or makes an individual reasonably identifiable.
We may collect sensitive information where it is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities and the individual has consented to its collection, or where the collection is otherwise authorised or required by law.
How we collect personal information
We generally collect personal information directly from individuals when they interact with our website or communicate with us.
If we receive personal information that we did not request, we will determine whether we could have collected it under the Australian Privacy Principles. Where required by law, we will destroy or de-identify information that we are not permitted to retain.

We may use personal information collected through our website:
- for the purpose for which it was provided;
- to respond to enquiries and manage resulting communications;
- to provide requested publications, event information or other communications;
- to administer, maintain and secure our website;
- for a related purpose where permitted by law;
- with the individual’s consent; or
- where otherwise authorised or required by law.
We may retain correspondence where reasonably necessary for business, legal or record-keeping purposes.
Publications and events
If an individual subscribes to a Frontier Economics publication, mailing list or event communication, we may use their contact details to provide the communications requested and, where permitted by law, information about related Frontier Economics publications, events or services.
Recipients may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe facility provided in the communication or by contacting us.
We do not disclose personal information to other organisations so that they can market their products or services.
Recruitment
If an individual applies for a position with Frontier Economics through our website, we collect and handle personal information for recruitment purposes. Further information about how we handle personal information provided as part of an application is set out in the Recruitment Privacy Collection Notice provided with the application form.
Website statistics and cookies
Frontier Economics does not use cookies for advertising or behavioural tracking. Cookies or similar technologies may, however, be used by services that support website security and functionality or by external services when an individual interacts with embedded content.
We use Plausible Analytics to understand how visitors use our website and to improve its content. Our implementation of Plausible Analytics does not use cookies. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics to obtain information about website performance and usage.
Our web server may record IP addresses and other technical information for security, operational and diagnostic purposes. Technical or website usage information is personal information where it identifies an individual or makes an individual reasonably identifiable.
Website forms
We use Cloudflare Turnstile on website forms to help distinguish legitimate users from automated activity. Cloudflare Turnstile may use cookies or similar technologies where necessary to perform this function.
Embedded and external services
Some pages may include content provided through external services, such as YouTube. These services may collect information or use cookies or similar technologies when an individual interacts with their content.
External providers handle information in accordance with their own privacy practices. This Website Privacy Statement does not govern the privacy practices of external websites or services.
Disclosure of personal information
We may disclose personal information collected through our website to:
- service providers that help us operate, maintain or secure our website or business systems;
- professional advisers;
- related organisations where reasonably necessary for business purposes; and
- government agencies, regulators, courts or law enforcement agencies where authorised or required by law.
We limit disclosure to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose or otherwise permitted by law.
Overseas handling and disclosure
Some service providers or other recipients may be located outside Australia or may access or store information from outside Australia.
Where Frontier Economics discloses personal information to an overseas recipient, we comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act 1988 that apply to the disclosure. This includes taking reasonable steps, where required, to ensure that the recipient handles the information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.
Additional information about overseas handling of personal information provided in an employment application is set out in the Recruitment Privacy Collection Notice.
Quality of personal information
We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information we collect is accurate, up to date and complete.
When we use or disclose personal information, we also take reasonable steps to ensure that it is accurate, up to date, complete and relevant, having regard to the purpose of the use or disclosure.
Security and retention
Frontier Economics takes reasonable steps to protect personal information under our control from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
No transmission of information over the internet is completely secure. Other methods of providing information to Frontier Economics may be more appropriate where the information is particularly sensitive.
Where we no longer require personal information for a permitted purpose, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it where required by law.
Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to external websites.
This Website Privacy Statement applies only to the Frontier Economics website. It does not govern the privacy practices of external websites. Individuals should refer to the privacy information published by an external website before providing personal information through that website.
Access and correction
An individual may request access to personal information that Frontier Economics holds about them or ask us to correct information that they consider inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.
We may need to verify the individual’s identity before providing access or making a correction.
We may refuse an access or correction request in circumstances permitted by law. Where required, we will provide reasons for the refusal.
