Privacy Policy
Our Commitment
At www.savemytrees.com.au we recognise that your privacy is important. We are bound by, and committed to supporting, the National Privacy Principles (NPP) set out in the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2001. The information set out below is largely a summary of our obligations under the NPP.
Collection
Our main purpose for collecting personal information is to form an investor interest group to promote a unified effort in terms of the treatment of Great Southern growers. At or before the time we collect personal information from you we will take reasonable steps to inform you why we are collecting that personal information, who else we might disclose that personal information to and what may happen if you do not provide personal information to us. If we collect information for lobbying purposes we will not disclose any personal contact details. Only names and investment related information will be disclosed for this purpose.
Use and Disclosure
Generally collection of personal information and other investment information from you is for the purposes of establishing an investor interest group. We may disclose the information collected for lobbying purposes, however we shall not disclose any of your personal information. It may be necessary to establish the strength and lobbying power of this investor interest group to disclose names and other investment information.
The Group may use the personal information collected from you for the purpose of providing you with direct marketing material such as articles that may be of interest to you. You may, by contacting us by any of the methods detailed in this policy statement, request not to receive such information and we will give effect to that request. Please allow two weeks for your request to be actioned.
Data Quality
We may take steps to verify that any information collected is accurate. Generally however where this website is designed for the benefit of Great Southern investors we would expect contributors to provide accurate information at all times so that we may in turn try to achieve a result in the best interests of these individuals.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we retain from misuse, loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We will not retain any of your information for any longer than it is required by us, except to satisfy legal requirements. We will destroy or de-identify your personal information when it is no longer required.
Openness
We may use and disclose personal information for the purposes for which it was provided or secondary purposes in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. The information we collect from you may also be disclosed to third parties if the disclosure is required by law.
Access and Correction
You may access the personal information we retain and request corrections. This right of access is subject to some exceptions allowed by law.
We will not provide you access to personal information which would reveal any confidential formulae or the detail of any in-house evaluative decision making process, but may instead provide you with the result of the formulae or process or an explanation of that result.
We reserve the right to charge a fee for searching for and providing access to your personal information. In the event we refuse you access to your personal information, we will provide you with an explanation for that refusal.
We will endeavour to ensure that at all times the personal information about you that we hold is up to date and accurate. The accuracy of the personal information is dependant to a large degree on the information you provide and you should advise us if there are any errors in your personal information.
Anonymity
You may deal with us anonymously where it is lawful, practicable and reasonable to do so.
