By providing Project Jonah with your personal information, you accept this privacy policy and authorise us to collect, store and process your information in the ways outlined in this policy.

We use personal information provided to us for the purposes for which it is provided, and for related purposes relevant to our activities. This might include (but is not limited to):

Processing donations
Organising supporter functions, events and activities
To lobby local or central government or agencies thereof for the purposes of the submission or petition you have signed up to
To market and communicate our news and important items of interest to you (if you have elected to hear from us. You can opt out at any time)

We do not sell, publicly disclose or rent your personal information to any person or entity.

Privacy Protection Principles

Personal information may only be collected for a lawful and necessary purpose connected with some required function or activity of Project Jonah, and it should not be used for any other purpose.
Personal information must, as a general rule, be collected directly from the person concerned, and it must be collected in a lawful, fair, and reasonable manner.
The person must be told that the information is being collected, why it is being collected, to what use it will be put, and who the intended recipients are.
The safety and privacy of personal information must be protected by taking all reasonable security safeguards to protect against loss, unauthorised access, use, modification, disclosure, or any other misuse.
