Privacy Collection Notice
Why we collect your personal information
The University of Melbourne is collecting and processing your personal information to:
- inform you about Net Zero Australia (NZAu) publications and related events
- inform general business analysis, quality assurance, reporting and planning activities
The “processing” of personal information refers to all activities relating to the management of your personal information, from its collection and use, through to its storage and disposal, and everything in between.
How we process your personal information
We will process your personal information as necessary for our legitimate interests, in accordance with applicable privacy laws, and only under the following circumstances:
- for the purpose for which it was collected; or
- a related purpose which you might reasonably expect; or
- where you have consented to the processing; or
- if we are required or permitted to do so by law.
We may share your personal information with:
- team members from the NZAu project partners, who include: The University of Queensland (AUS), the Nous Group (AUS), and Princeton University (USA); and
- contracted service providers or partners engaged by us to perform legitimate functions on our behalf, such as those outlined in this privacy collection notice.
In some instances, your personal information may be transferred outside of Victoria or Australia (for example, where providers are located internationally or use a cloud-based system with servers based in international jurisdictions). We take all reasonable steps to ensure that the interstate or overseas transfer of personal information is in accordance with our privacy obligations as outlined in the University’s General Privacy Statement.
Your personal information will not be shared beyond the NZAu project team membership and will not be used for purposes other than those stated above.
