Marketing and fundraising:

We value marketing and seeking donations for our future growth and development.

We will use your personal information for direct marketing where you have provided that information, and we will always provide you with the option to opt-out. If we use your personal information obtained from elsewhere, we will still send you direct marketing information where you have consented, and which will also contain an opt-out.

Your personal information may be disclosed to an organisation that assists us in our future fundraising efforts.

We may disclose personal information, including sensitive information, held about an individual:

  • to other organisations that you have been informed about, such Clean-up Australia

We will not disclose your personal information for any secondary purposes unless your consent has been given or as required by law, and we will not sell, offer or license any personal information that we collect from you.

How does the Stormwater Shepherds Ltd treat sensitive information?
