Privacy

Greenbeings.com.au knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting greenbeings.com.au, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

 

What this Privacy Policy covers

 

This privacy policy covers the use of personally identifiable information from visitors.

For these purposes ‘personally identifiable information’ is information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.

 

What personal information is collected by Green Beings (GB) and when is it collected?

 

The information we learn from visitors helps us personalize and continually improve your experience at greenbeings.com. We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our Web site. We do not process this information in a way that is incompatible with the purpose for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by you.

 

GB collects information from users in the following ways:

  • When registering with GB
  • Purchases on third party websites accessed through the GB site
  • Questionnaire responses
  • Survey results

 

The GB website may use the IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of visitors to the site to administer the site, track users' movements, and to gather broad demographic information. However, IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information and therefore the information and statistics the GB produces does not enable individual users to be identified.

 

Why is information collected?

The primary purpose of collecting information is to:

  • Identify topics of interest in relation to community or environmental issues
  • Highlight environmental concerns
  • Provide information on specific articles, products or services tailored to an individual’s interest or lifestyle

 

We will only collect information by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonably intrusive way.

 

How does GB use users' personal information?

GB will process the information that we collect from you and from your use of the site for the following purposes:

  • Provision of our services
  • To send you email and/or postal communications that you have requested
  • Administration of member records
  • To notify you about changes to our website and services
  • Technical maintenance.

 

Does anyone other than the GB collect information from the GB website?

Except as stated in this Policy or unless you are informed at the time of collection of information, only GB collects personal information from the GB website.

 

Does the GB share user information?

GB will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to any third party. In the event that we co-organise or co-host a specific event with a third party, and you register for that event online, the information that you enter when you register, and only that information, may be shared with that third party if we inform you prior to online registration that we will do so. The only other circumstance in which a third party will have access to your personally identifiable information is where that third party is managing and/or maintaining GBs member database, or sending communications from the GB, on behalf of and as an agent for GB. In that circumstance at all times GB will maintain effective control over the use of your personal information and ensure that it is used only in accordance with this policy.

 

Please note that GB contains links to other sites. Please be aware that GB is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. GB encourages users to be aware when they leave the site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.

 

What are your choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of your personally identifiable information?

GB will always ask for your consent to receive emails, promotions or other correspondence relating to the services of GB. In addition, you can email at any time to remove your email or mailing address from our mailing lists.

 

What is the GBs policy on allowing users to update, correct, or delete their personally identifiable information?

If you wish to update or amend the information held by GB (for example to change contact details or to alter preferences with regard to receiving mailings), log in and update your details directly. If you identify an error in the information held by GB please contact comments@greenbeings.com.au
