1. Your personal information is important to us

The Shared Value Project recognises the importance of your privacy and that you have a right to control how your personal information is collected and used. This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with the Privacy Act 1988.

2. Collecting information about you

The Shared Value Project will not collect any personal information about you without your consent. We only collect personal information that you tell us about yourself and information about how you use our website: e.g. by registering, when we ask for information such as your email address, name, postal address, company and phone number. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that contact. The Shared Value Project also uses cookies to make your use of our website as convenient as possible. If you do not wish to receive any cookies you may set your browser to refuse cookies. This may mean you may not be able to use some of the Shared Value Project’s online services.

3. Using and disclosing your personal information

The Shared Value Project will not use or disclose any information, unless requested by the operator of your company, as required by law or if we believe it necessary to provide you with a service you have requested. We may also do so to implement our terms of service, protect the rights, property or personal safety of another user, any member of the public or the Shared Value Project, or if our assets and operations are transferred to another party as a going concern. We may also send you information and event updates, which you have requested. Therefore we may sometimes share your personal information with a service partner, subject to confidentiality provisions, but will not otherwise disclose it to other companies without your consent.

The Shared Value Project will not sell any personal information that you submit through this website to any third party direct marketing and mail houses or similar.
