The Mildura Region Business Directory Privacy Policy

There are two sections to our privacy statement, the Plain English section, and the Details section.

The Details section is an edited version of the Model Privacy Statement available online at TRUSTe's web site.

Our Privacy Statement in Plain English

In providing any business information, please be assured that we only use what you are happy to provide. If you have a business entry in the Mildura Region Business Directory, some information about you (email address, contact numbers, etc.) is necessary in order to do things like complete your business directory entry, and you would have to voluntarily give that information.

If we have information of a confidential nature about you, we won't sell, rent, or share it.

If you have any questions about our privacy statement, please email info@milduraregion.com.au

If a new (or previously unlisted) business wishes to create an entry in the Mildura Development Corporation Business Directory we require some basic contact information (like business name, contact name, address, etc).

This information is used to ensure that the business doesn't already exist in the directory and to create new usernames and passwords. If we have trouble processing a request, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.

This information is used solely by the Development Corporation for planning and demographic purposes only.

If a business chooses to sign up for any of the special offers (where outside agencies are used), only basic information is provided to ensure the business is a located and operating in the Mildura region.

These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
