Privacy at the University of Melbourne

What this website collects

This overview site does not ask you to create an account, and it does not collect farm, production, or financial figures.

How information is used

Personal information is used for the purpose it was collected, for a related purpose you could reasonably expect, where you have agreed, or where a provider engaged by the University needs it to carry out that work. It is not sold.

The University takes reasonable steps to keep personal information accurate, and to protect it from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access.

Industry sites

Hazelnut and truffle benchmarking are separate websites. A grower who registers there is told, on that site, what is collected and why. This statement does not replace those notices.
