1. Collection of personal information
1.1. Personal information only used for purpose of collection
The Website does not collect or use personal information except information which you have provided to us freely upon registration, through online forms or surveys or as part of a service request. Personal information will only be used for the purpose for which you have provided the information. Personal information will not be disclosed to third parties, except where we are authorised, or required, by law, to do so. Email addresses and any other contact details you provide will not be added to a mailing list without your consent.
1.2. Collection and disclosure of IP addresses
Please note that all members who use the Website will automatically have their IP addresses logged. We will not disclose your IP address except in the case of a breach of the terms and conditions of this Website, unlawful activity, or where we are compelled to do so by law, in which case, your IP address may be disclosed without notice being given to you.
1.3. Gathering statistics
The Carbon Innovators network website uses Google Analytics website monitoring service to measure use of the website. Information about Google Analytics monitoring service and privacy policy is available on the Google Analytics website.
1.4. Contributions
Your contributions will automatically be published and your user name and/or real name and organisation may be associated with your contribution. If you register as a member, you may contact other members of the Carbon Innovators Network, via private messaging. Your email address will only be disclosed with your prior approval.
2. Protection of personal information
Once personal information comes into our possession, we will take reasonable steps to protect that information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. Please note that under the Public Records Act, we may be required to archive your personal information.
EPA Victoria has implemented technology and security policies and any personal information you provide to us will be stored in a database on Media Insight’s server. This database is accessible to anyone who can access the server through the web (though passwords will be encrypted, and e-mail addresses will be obfuscated to help prevent spamming). Your country, or the country where the server is hosted, may have Data Protection laws governing the maintenance of such databases. If you are concerned, you should contact us for details of the Data Protection Policy of this server before registering.
3. No warranty
There are risks associated with transmitting information over the internet. While we strive to protect the information provided to us over the internet, we cannot warrant the security of any information transmitted to us online. If you’re not comfortable with this, you should not become a member. You expressly agree that your use of the Website is at your sole risk.
