Environment Victoria values and respects all individuals and organisations seeking to donate time, money, or resources to our organisation. We understand that you may be concerned about privacy issues that surround the potential use of your personal details by us.
We believe that you should have control over who receives your personal information, whether it concerns where you live, what your interests are, or how you choose to conduct transactions. We are focussed on only one thing: working with you to find positive and pro-active solutions to environmental problems so that we will have a healthy environment.
Information You Provide Us
Environment Victoria collects information when a member, donor, or volunteer provides us with their personal details. We will ask for certain information, such as name, home or e-mail address, receipting information, and perhaps credit card details - in order to provide a service or information to you. The collected information will be used by us for the purposes of completing your donation, providing you with a volunteer opportunity, or providing you with EV correspondence (eg the 'EV News'). We may also use your personal details to contact you regarding specific appeals for donations in the future.
Campaigns within Environment Victoria often collect and use information for slightly different purposes. Campaign/ers may contact Environment Victoria Members, Donors and Volunteers to offer them the opportunity to have closer involvement with their campaign areas, regional activities and events or to be part of their campaign information networks.
If you provide personal information to us about a third party who is an individual, we ask that you inform the individual concerned of how we will use and disclose the information, and of his or her rights to gain access to and update it, as set out in this Privacy Policy.
Information about you that is collected by Environment Victoria is held only as long as it is necessary to provide you with the service or information required or until our legal requirement to hold that information expires. Regular reviews of information are conducted and information that is no longer necessary is securely and permanently disposed of.
e.g.. If a Green Ribbon Friend of Environment Victoria and you request the cessation of there monthly donation EV will:
- delete the credit card details.
- ask if they would still like to receive periodic donations requests and archive the record if the answer is no.
We will need to keep a record of the donation for seven years for tax reasons when we will be able to delete the record completely.
Disclosure of Information
We will not use your personal information for any other purpose which is not related to the service we provide to you or for any other purpose for which you would not reasonably expect us to use the information. Information we collect is kept on a secure database, accessed by a small number of our own staff. We do not give any outside organisations access to it and we will not sell or disclose your personal information to any individual or entity outside Environment Victoria for marketing or other purposes.
We may release information about you where:
- there is a duty to the public to disclose that information,
- we are required to by state or federal law, or
- you authorise us to do so (eg: telling other forest groups of the activists in the region)
Cookies
Environment Victoria does not use cookies at this time but may choose to do so in the future. Cookies are pieces of information that a web server transfers to your computer's hard disk without you knowing about it. Cookies could be used by EV to provide us with information on the number of visitors to our site and traffic patterns. This would be anonymous statistical data and would not allow us to identify users. Another potential use of cookies would be to provide a restricted members-only part of the publicly available EV web-site.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. However, if you do not wish to receive any cookies, you may set your browser to refuse them. In some instances this may mean you will not be able to take full advantage of web services.
Linked Web Sites
As a service to those accessing the EV web-site, links are made from EV's web pages to the web-sites of certain other organisations. Those sites are not covered by this policy. You will need to check the Privacy Policies of those specific organisations if you intend to access their sites.
Opt Out Facility
Members or non-members can opt out of one or all of our services at any time by contacting our Privacy Officer by mail, e-mail, phone or fax. Each fax, e-mail or mail-out will give the recipient the option of not receiving further communications of this nature.
