Cookies

Embedded content from other websites
- Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, forms, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
- These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
- Unless we have a formal data sharing agreement with the provider of the embedded content, we will not have access to the information you enter on the embedded form.

Who we share your data with
- Information that you submit will only be shared in the following circumstances.
- If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- In some cases, data collected from you may be included in aggregate reports, analyses or summaries that are published or shared with other organisations. In these cases:
- The form, or application, used to collect this data will clearly indicate both the intended use of this data and the extent of sharing.
- We will exclude data that uniquely identifies you from any shared or published data.
- You will be asked to indicate your consent to this use when completing the form.
- The form will indicate whether consent for sharing is required or optional. In some cases, you may be able to complete a form while withholding consent to sharing. However, if the primary purpose of the form requires sharing of aggregate data, you may be unable to submit the form if you do not provide consent.
How long we retain your data
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

However, you cannot change your website account username. Climate Action Newtown website administrators can also view and edit your account information and reserve the right to suspend or delete website user accounts.

What rights do you have over your data
