Our website address is: https://julimarcafa.org.au/

• Your contact information – name, address, email address and telephone number
• Your date of birth, gender, and occupation
• Certain details about your personal interests

How we collect information

There are a number of ways we collect information from you, including:

• Directly from you when you provide information by telephone, in person, via our website, or on forms or petitions
• From fundraising events you attend

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies

We collect statistics on visitor traffic to our website such as length of visit and pages viewed. The information is anonymous and does not identify specific visitors.

We may track your visit to our website by using ‘cookies’. A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on the hard disk of your computer to enhance your experience when visiting our website. If you prefer not to allow the use of ‘cookies’, you may be able to adjust your browser to turn them off or notify you when ‘cookies’ are being used. However, if you disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or take advantage of certain features or services on our website.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Petitions and Surveys

We will, from time to time ask for your support to fill in a survey or sign a petition (online and offline). Sometimes this requires a third party platform that stores your information for the primary purpose for which you have signed or answered questions. The data will not be used beyond the purpose it was designed and we will ensure that platforms we choose abide by strict privacy practices. We will also make it known which third-parties we will use and guide you to read their privacy policies to ensure that you are informed and comfortable with the process.

Newsletter

You are able to opt-in to receive our monthly newsletter to receive news and updates. If you elect to receive our monthly newsletter your first name, last name and email are stored on Mailchimp, our email marketing software. We will not send you any emails that are outside of providing updates about our activities and will not send on your details to any other third parties without your consent.

You can opt in via our website, email or other request and you can unsubscribe from our newsletters and emails at any time via links found at the bottom of the newsletter.

Use and disclosure of information

Your personal information may be used to:

• Provide you with information pertaining to Julimar State Forest and our activities
• Confirm your identity when you make enquiries
• Communicate with you about the work that we are undertaking
• Address feedback or complaints you may have
• Assist us with carrying out any other work related to the above purposes.

Sometimes we may share some of your personal information with our external service providers whose functions may include:

• Email services (Mailchimp)
• Information technology services (IT Website and Software Developers )
• Website usage analysis (Google Analytics)

We take reasonable steps to ensure these external organisations are contractually bound to privacy and confidentiality obligations in relation to your personal information and that personal information is only used for the specific purpose for which it is intended.

Sometimes we may have to disclose your personal information for a specific purpose to third parties such as:

• Relevant taxation agencies
• Authorised legal representatives nominated by you
• Our accountants, auditors and lawyers
• Law enforcement, government or other organisations, as required by law

Under no circumstance will we provide your personal information to other organisations without your express consent. We do not sell or ‘rent out’ your personal information.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Other data, for example newsletter registration details will be retained as long as you wish, until you unsubscribe. Petition data will be stored as long as needed or permitted in light of the purposes for which it was obtained.  Survey data is anonymous.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Requests and complaints about privacy

Please contact us if you have any queries, requests or complaints relating to our handling of your personal information.
