Introduction

The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) respects your privacy. This privacy statement tells you what information we collect and how that information is stored and used.

The EPA complies with the SA Government’s Information Privacy Principles, a copy of which can be obtained at: www.archives.sa.gov.au/privacy/principles.html

Data automatically collected

Whenever you visit our web site, we automatically record:

  • your IP address
  • your top level domain name (for example, .com, .net, .gov, etc.)
  • the date and time of your visit
  • the pages you access and the documents you download
  • the time you spend on individual pages and overall on the site
  • the type of browser and operating system you use
  • the search engine and keywords used
  • any linked referral site.

These statistics tell us how our site is being used and help us to improve its usefulness.

This information does not identify you personally. No attempt is made to identify you except, in the unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect our service provider’s logs.

E-mail addresses

If you send us a message by e-mail, the EPA will record your e-mail address so that we can send you a reply.

If you subscribe to our electronic newsletter, your e-mail address will be stored securely and accessed only by the list administrators; it will not be added to any other mailing list without your consent.

Other web sites

This privacy statement covers only this EPA web site. The EPA provides links to other sites with material related to environmental matters; when you click on one of these links, you leave the EPA web site and are no longer covered by these policies.

Freedom of Information

You can apply to access your own personal information in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 1991, which allows you to correct personal information that is out of date, incorrect or misleading.

 

This privacy statement is periodically reviewed in line with the ongoing development of the site.
