Privacy Policy

At Wildlife Drones, we are committed to respecting your privacy. We are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What does this Privacy Policy cover?

This privacy policy will explain how our organization uses the personal data we collect from you when you use our website. The terms ‘us’, ‘we’ or ‘our’ refers to Wildlife Drones.

This Privacy Policy covers the treatment of personal information – all the things we know about you or that we gather when you are accessing or using our Website or services – by Wildlife Drones and its affiliates.  It does not cover the practices of companies we don’t own or control or people that we don’t manage.

This Policy provides a standard for Wildlife Drones and its affiliates with respect to its treatment and protection of personal information globally. Certain local laws may require stricter standards.  Where local laws are stricter than this Policy, we will handle personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations at the place where the personal information is collected.  Where applicable local law provides a lower level standard of protection than established by this Policy, then the requirements of this Policy will govern how we treat the personal information collected in that location.  Questions about compliance with local law may be addressed here.

Use of external tools on our website

We have integrated various tools from different companies into our website, which allow us to evaluate user behaviour or to establish links with other websites.

Google Analytics

We have integrated Google Analytics on this website.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the gathering, collection and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a data subject has come to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for which period of time a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google might transfer the personal information collected via this technical procedure to third parties.

As IP anonymisation is activated on our website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or other states in agreement with the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by a Google server in the USA. On behalf of the operator of the website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and to provide further services related to website and internet use to us. The IP address transferred through your browser to Google Analytics will not be combined with other data held by Google.

In addition, this website uses the Analytics feature User ID to track interaction data. This User ID will be additionally anonymised and encrypted and will not be linked with other data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent possible.

In addition, you may prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics.

In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Further information and Google‘s applicable privacy regulations can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/ The following link provides a further explanation of Google Analytics https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/.

HubSpot

This website uses a HubSpot tracking code which uses cookies or similar technologies to track visitors of this website and gathers demographic information about them.

External Links

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Those links are provided for convenience and may not remain current or be maintained. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of, or any content on, those linked websites, and have no control over or rights in those linked websites. The privacy policies that apply to those other websites may differ substantially from our Privacy Policy, so we encourage individuals to read them before using those websites.

Sensitive Information

Sensitive information: The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) defines some types of personal information as sensitive.  We don’t commonly collect sensitive information, which includes information about a person’s race, ethnic origin, political opinions, health, religious or philosophical beliefs and criminal history.  In the event we require any sensitive information, we would only collect this with your permission, and we will only use it for the purpose for which you provided it.

Special Personal Information: The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 defines special personal data includes that which can reveal “racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership” and “genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation”. Wildlife Drones does not collect any “Special Personal Information”.
