Waste Management Association of Australia Privacy Statement
|
| The Waste Management Association of Australia (WMAA) is committed to protecting your privacy. The Federal Government has recently extended the operation of the Privacy Act 1988 to apply to organisations such as us from 21 December 2001. It contains principles on how to collect, use, disclose or handle personal information. We are committed to meeting these requirements.
We collect personal information to provide and administer the many services and events we can offer and facilitate. These include, but are not limited to, our publications: Inside Waste and WMAA E-news, Waste Management and related conferences and seminars, meeting notices and sometimes other relevant information from other organisations with which we have relationships. We do not disclose any personal information provided to us to third parties outside of WMAA’s normal activities without obtaining express permission.
The WMAA undertakes industry surveys and uses the data collected for the purposes of identifying the size, scope and key aspects of the waste management and resource recovery industry. This information will be used as a reference source by the WMAA to promote and improve the industry. Commercially sensitive information provided will be published ONLY in an aggregated form, and individual data will be kept confidential.
In order to reduce duplication of data collection exercises in Australia, WMAA provides controlled access to the raw data it collects for the purpose of analysis and comparison with other data sets. The extent of this access is as shown in the table below. The results of any analysis performed on these data sets will only be published in aggregated form (where the aggregated information cannot be used to determine information about individual facilities).
