Information we collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us, register for a program or event, subscribe to our newsletter, make a donation, volunteer, or complete an online form. This information may include your name, email address, phone number, postal address, organisation or school details, payment information, and any other information you choose to provide.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to respond to enquiries, manage bookings and registrations, process donations and payments, coordinate volunteer activities, send newsletters and updates, improve our programs and website, and meet legal, regulatory and reporting obligations.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Newsletter and marketing communications
We may send newsletters, event updates and organisational news to people who have opted in to receive these communications. You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Website analytics
We use website analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website and to improve the information and services we provide. These services may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the website and general location data.
Who we share your data with
We respect your privacy and do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
We may share your information with trusted service providers who help us operate our website, deliver programs and services, process donations, manage event registrations, send newsletters, and maintain website security. These providers are only given access to the information necessary to perform their services and are required to protect your information.
If you request a password reset for an account on our website, your IP address may be included in the password reset email as part of WordPress’s security process.
We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Eco Warriors Australia, our users, volunteers, staff or the public.
This website may use third-party services for website hosting, spam detection, analytics, online forms, email communications and payment processing. These services may process data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Comments submitted on this website may be checked through an automated spam detection service to help prevent spam and maintain website security.
Our website uses WordPress and a range of trusted third-party plugins and services. Information submitted through forms, newsletter sign-ups, event registrations or volunteer applications may be processed and stored by these service providers for the purpose of delivering our services and communications.
Where applicable, data may be processed by:
- Website hosting and security providers
- Email marketing and newsletter platforms
- Online event booking and registration systems
- Payment processing services for donations and purchases
- Spam and website security monitoring services
