We respect the privacy of the people we deal with, and we uphold high standards of privacy practice and security. This policy explains how we handle personal information and how we interact with you online and in-person.
Whenever we handle personal information, we take steps to ensure that appropriate standards of privacy practice and security are applied.
This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) sets out why we need to collect personal information, how we collect it, what we do with it, how it is stored and who we might share it with. The Policy also describes how you can access or correct information we hold about you, how you can ask further questions or make a complaint, and information about our website, online activities and our operations.
We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
This means that the personal information we hold about you must be:
If you are a user of this website, we only collect and process personal information that you may choose to provide to us via online forms such as the “Contact Us” form, and limited information captured by cookies. This typically includes:
We do not automatically link your domain and IP address to any personal information that you choose to provide to us.
If you are a user of this website, we process your data to respond to your queries and to analyse the number and type of queries coming into Green Wind. If you sign up for alerts or for other communications, we will use your contact details to provide you with these alerts or other communications.
If you interact with us as part of our delivery of a Project, we only collect and process personal information that you, our affiliates or our project partners provide to us via online forms, surveys, platforms, media and publications, online and in-person community forums, and via other communications with us such as complaints. This may include:
We will use your information as reasonably necessary for the development and delivery of the relevant Project, to identify and interact with you, or for any other purpose that we let you know about at the time we collect your personal information.
We generally do not ask for or collect sensitive information from individuals. However, as part of community forums (or in other discussions with you), we may collect any sensitive information that you choose to provide us as part of your participation in the forum or those other discussions. If you do provide us with sensitive information, we will treat it in accordance with the Privacy Act and APPs.
We may also collect personal information (and potentially sensitive information as part of this) through photographs, drone footage or other video footage of a Project site and surrounding areas for surveying and safety purposes. Where possible and practicable, we will seek your consent before gathering footage that may collect any sensitive information.
We request personal information about you which is reasonably necessary to:
We may also collect your personal information for any other purpose for which you give your consent.
If you do not provide us with relevant personal information or you seek to deal with us anonymously or by using a pseudonym, our ability to respond to your query in a useful or timely manner, or to provide you with other communications that you have requested, or our ability to provide our products and services to you may be compromised.
Most of the time, we collect personal information about you directly from you when you provide it to us. This can be in person, in documents you give us, from telephone calls, emails or via form submission on our website.
Sometimes, we may collect personal information about you from third parties, such as government agencies, regulators, commercial counterparties, public records, from our project partners or project entities, or from any referrers who have referred you to us.
We take reasonable steps to be transparent about how and why we collect personal information.
We sometimes receive unsolicited personal information. In circumstances where we receive unsolicited personal information we will use reasonable endeavours to destroy or de-identify the information as soon as practicable if it is lawful and reasonable to do so (unless the unsolicited personal information is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, our functions or activities).
We keep personal information in physical and electronic records, at our premises and on the premises of our service providers, which may include processing or storage in the cloud, which may mean in practice that this information is stored outside Australia or other jurisdictions from time to time.
Where this occurs, we take steps to protect the security and integrity of personal information.
We may also keep records of our interactions with you (including by telephone, email, online, and from online and in-person community forum, and interactions with individuals on or around our Project sites).
We use personal information about you for the purpose for which it was provided to us, including to:
We may also:
While we may sometimes – where it is lawful and with your permission if necessary – share personal information with companies we do business with (eg. in product development, joint venture arrangements or distribution arrangements), we do not sell personal information for marketing purposes to other organisations or allow such companies to do this.
From time to time, and in support of our future development and growth, we may, or jointly with our project partners, use your personal information to contact you to promote and market our Projects.
You can opt-out from being contacted for direct marketing purposes by contacting us at the email address below or by using the unsubscribe facility included in direct marketing communications we send. Once we receive a request to opt out from receiving marketing information, we will stop sending such information within a reasonable amount of time.
Subject in all cases to local law, we may share personal information within Green Wind, and may disclose personal information outside Green Wind:
Where necessary to provide our services, we may disclose personal information may operate outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take the appropriate steps to protect personal information against misuse or loss under the applicable privacy laws and to comply with local law in respect of the transfer of your data from one jurisdiction to another.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that all information we hold is as accurate as possible. You are able to contact us at any time using our details below to request access to your personal information and ask for its correction if you feel the information we have about you is inaccurate or incomplete.
In normal circumstances, we will give you full access or make the requested corrections to your information. However, there may be some legal or administrative reasons to deny these requests. If your request is denied, we will provide you with the reason why (if we can). Where we decide not to make a requested correction to your personal information and you disagree, you may ask us to make a note of your requested correction with the information.
We use security procedures and technology to protect the information we hold. Access to and use of personal information within Green Wind seeks to prevent misuse or unlawful disclosure of the information.
If other organisations provide support services, we require them to take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure the privacy of the information provided to them.
