Our Privacy Policy
Environment Victoria’s web site was created to give you all the facts and details you need to help us safeguard our environment. Which means we never ever want to lose your trust. So we promise to respect your privacy and not share your personal information with others. The following policy describes the information we gather and how we make every effort to use it for good, not evil.
When you visit environmentvictoria.org.au, our web server collects your inbound domain name. This tells us which pages you visit and what information you volunteer (like when you fill in your email address and name to get “in” on Green Action). The information we collect is used only for internal review, to improve our web content, to optimize your web experience and, in some cases, to customize the content and/or layout of select pages so you feel welcome and don’t get bored.
We’ll disclose information we’ve collected only when legally required to do so; at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation; to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our website and applicable laws, or to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our website.
Cookies
We use cookies to record your past activity on our website in an effort to provide better and faster service when you return to environmentvictoria.org.au, which we hope you do a lot. Sometimes, to make your experience more enjoyable, we also customize certain web content based on your browser type, bandwidth, or other settings.
