This policy is effective from 1 May 2015.

The purpose of this privacy policy is to describe how the "The Forest Maker" website, tools, applications, and services ("TheForestMaker") handle your personal information. TheForestMaker collects, uses, and shares personal information to help TheForestMaker work and to keep TheForestMaker safe (details below).

This privacy policy intends to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) as amended and the National Privacy Principles.

Collection.
Information posted on TheForestMaker is publicly available. Our servers are located in Australia. Therefore, if you choose to provide us with personal information, you are consenting to TheForestMaker's collection, use, disclosure of that information and to the transfer and storage of that information on our servers.

TheForestMaker may collect and store the following personal information:
- email address and physical contact information;
- computer sign-on data, statistics on page views, traffic to and from TheForestMaker and ad data (all through cookies - you can take steps to disable the cookies on your browser although this is likely to affect your ability to use the site);
- other information, including users IP address and standard web log information.

Purpose.
TheForestMaker only collects personal information insofar as it is necessary for the provision of our services. The purpose for which TheForestMaker collects users' personal information is to:
- provide our services
- resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
- encourage safe trading and enforce our policies;
- customize, measure, and improve user experience and our services, content, and advertising;
- deliver targeted marketing, service updates and promotional offers to you according to your preferences;
- do other things for users as described when TheForestMaker collects the information.

Disclosure.
TheForestMaker will not sell or rent users' personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without the user's explicit consent. TheForestMaker may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce TheForestMaker policies, respond to claims that a posting or other content violates a third party's rights, or protect anyone's rights, property, or safety. TheForestMaker may also share personal information when necessary with:
- service providers who help with our business operations.
- third-party websites and publishers so ads (or the content of the ads) published on TheForestMaker can also be published on a broader array of venues or information vehicles.

Marketing.
You agree to receive marketing communications from us unless you tell us that you prefer not to receive such communications. If you don't wish to receive marketing communications from us, simply indicate your preference by following directions provided with the communication.

Spam.
You must not use our site or communication tools to harvest addresses, send spam or otherwise breach our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy. TheForestMaker may automatically scan and manually filter email messages sent via our communication tools for malicious activity or prohibited content, but TheForestMaker does not permanently store such messages. If you use our tools to send content to a friend, TheForestMaker doesn't permanently store your friends' addresses or use or disclose them for marketing purposes. To report spam from other users, please contact theforestmaker@tonicturtle.com.

Access, Modification, and Deletion.
You can see, modify or erase most of your personal information by reviewing and modifying your posting or account details in the App or by contacting theforestmaker@tonicturtle.com to review any personal information TheForestMaker stores that is not available on TheForestMaker. Providing access may incur a nominal charge. TheForestMaker will take reasonable steps to ensure that information is accurate, complete and up to date. TheForestMaker will delete personal information when TheForestMaker no longer needs it for the purposes described earlier. TheForestMaker retains personal information as permitted by law to resolve disputes, enforce our policies and prevent banned users from using the site. If you have further questions, you can write to the webmaster at theforestmaker@tonicturtle.com.

Security.
TheForestMaker takes reasonable steps (encryption, passwords, physical security) protect the personal information it holds from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. However TheForestMaker cannot guarantee absolute security and must not be held liable for any breach of security by an unauthorised third party.

Cookies.
TheForestMaker or our service providers may use "cookies" (small files placed on your hard drive) on certain of our pages to help analyze our web page flow; customize our services, content and advertising; measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. A few important things you should know about cookies are that:
- TheForestMaker offers certain features that are available only through the use of cookies.
- TheForestMaker uses cookies to help identify you and maintain your signed-in status.
- You are always free to decline cookies if your browser permits, although doing so may interfere with your use of some of our sites or services. For more information on your choices about accepting cookies, consult your browser help function.
