Privacy Policy
Prison Greens · Updated 3 November 2026
1. Overview
Prison Greens provides free services and support, undertakes research and accountability activities, and maintains information needed for those purposes. This policy explains how we handle personal information.
2. Information we collect
We may collect account and contact details, information supplied when services are requested, correspondence, and information lawfully obtained from publicly available sources. Information may concern people who are not members or service users.
3. How information is used
We use information to manage accounts, provide and coordinate free services, identify potential support needs, respond to enquiries, maintain appropriate records, support research and accountability activities, and protect our systems.
4. Collection and notification
Where applicable law requires notification about collection, we take reasonable steps in the circumstances to notify individuals or otherwise ensure awareness of the relevant matters. Collection from public sources does not necessarily require direct contact with each individual.
5. Disclosure and service providers
Information may be shared with service providers or other recipients where reasonably necessary for the stated purposes and permitted by law. We do not represent that information will never be disclosed; disclosures are subject to applicable legal requirements.
6. Cookies and technical information
Our website may process technical information, such as session data and security logs, to support functionality, security and reliability. Third-party services may have their own privacy terms.
7. Security and retention
We take reasonable measures to protect information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We retain information while needed for lawful purposes or as required by law, and destroy or de-identify it when applicable law requires.
8. Access, correction and account closure
Individuals may contact us to request access to or correction of personal information, or closure of an account. Account closure does not automatically require deletion of independently obtained public records or information lawfully retained for other purposes. Requests are assessed under applicable law.
9. Complaints and enquiries
Privacy enquiries and complaints may be submitted through our Contact Us page. We will consider them and respond as reasonably practicable.
10. Australian privacy law
We seek to comply with privacy obligations applicable to Prison Greens, including the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply. The handling of sensitive information is subject to additional legal requirements.
11. Policy changes
We may update this policy to reflect changes to our services, practices or legal obligations. The current version will be published on this website.
