Your right to privacy is very important to us. We recognise that providing us with personal
information is an act of trust. Therefore, we have created a privacy policy to protect your

(including social networking and our main website) owned or operated by the Jane Goodall
Institute Australia (JGIA) ABN 98 125 319 771. We encourage you to take the time to read this
privacy policy and direct any questions to us via email at info@janegoodall.org.au. This policy is
in accordance with the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012, including
the 13 Australian Privacy Principles. The Privacy Policy applies to all individuals whose personal
information may be collected by JGIA.

and/or other trusted third parties may be engaged by JGIA to perform a variety of functions,
such as data storage, fulfilling orders, conducting market research, processing credit card
payments, assisting with promotions and providing technical services. These companies may
have access to personal information if needed to perform such functions. Your credit card details
are only used to facilitate your donation. They are not used for any other purpose and will never
be supplied to a third party other than the trusted parties for the purposes described above.
Data Quality
JGIA will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect, use and
disclose is accurate, correct and up to date. We do so via our own internal quality system, using
the information that you provide to us.
If you believe any information that we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete, or out-of-date,
please contact us at info@janegoodall.org.au. We will respond to your request within a
reasonable period and will take steps to amend your records in a timely manner.

JGIA holds personal information in a combination of electronic and hard copy formats. We take
all reasonable steps to ensure that any personal information held by us is protected from misuse,
loss and unauthorised, modification or disclosure. Such steps include, but are not limited to:
• Secure physical storage of documents

• Network and communications security measures
JGIA will keep information for as long as it is required to be able to provide the intended
service(s) or to meet legal and regulatory requirements. JGIA will take reasonable steps to
permanently de-identify or securely destroy personal information that we no longer require for
any purpose, except in limited permitted circumstances.
