Rainforest Reserves Australia

Privacy
Policy

This policy explains how Rainforest Reserves Australia may collect, use and handle information when you browse the website, contact us or interact with third-party services linked from our pages.

Website: rainforestreserves.org.au Last updated: July 2026

Rainforest Reserves Australia publishes information about Australian rainforest destinations, walking tracks, wildlife, conservation, protected areas and practical trip planning.

Most visitors can browse the website without directly providing personal information. Information may nevertheless be processed through normal website operation, analytics, cookies, server logs or third-party services used by or linked from the site.

When you contact us directly by email, the information contained in that communication may be retained for the purpose of responding to and managing the enquiry.

At a glance

How information may reach the site

Most information associated with ordinary browsing is technical rather than information you intentionally submit.

01

Browsing

Servers and website services may process technical information required to deliver pages, maintain security and operate the site.

02

Email

Information you choose to send by email may be used to respond to your enquiry and maintain relevant correspondence.

03

Third parties

External services, embedded content and affiliate links may operate under their own privacy and cookie practices.

01 · Information

Information we may receive

Rainforest Reserves Australia is primarily designed for browsing. You do not normally need to create an account or provide personal information simply to read the site's editorial content.

Information may nevertheless be received when you voluntarily contact us, interact with the website or use third-party services connected with the site.

Depending on how you use the website, this may include:

  • information contained in an email you send to us;
  • technical data generated when your browser connects to the website;
  • cookie or similar technology information where such technologies are used;
  • aggregated or technical analytics information where analytics services are enabled;
  • information processed by third-party websites after you follow an external link.
02 · Communications

Email communications

The Contact page provides an email address rather than a contact form. When you send an email to Rainforest Reserves Australia, information is transmitted through your email provider and our email service.

Your message may include your email address, name, organisation, correspondence history and any other information you choose to include.

This information may be used to respond to the enquiry, evaluate an editorial correction, manage a business or media enquiry, maintain correspondence or address website-related issues.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for the subject of the communication.

03 · Website operation

Technical and server information

Like most websites, the infrastructure used to operate Rainforest Reserves Australia may automatically process technical information when a visitor requests a page.

This can include information such as IP address, browser or device information, requested URL, referring page, time of request and technical status information.

Such information may be used for normal website operation, security, troubleshooting, performance monitoring and the investigation of abusive or unusual activity.

04 · Cookies

Cookies and similar technologies

The website or services used by the website may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies to support functionality, security, performance, analytics or third-party integrations.

Cookies are small pieces of information that may be stored by a website or service in a visitor's browser.

Some cookies may be required for technical operation, while others may be associated with analytics, embedded content or third-party services.

Browser settings can generally be used to restrict or remove cookies, although doing so may affect the operation of some website features or external services.

05 · Analytics

Analytics and website measurement

Rainforest Reserves Australia may use website measurement or analytics tools to understand how pages are used, identify technical issues and improve the site's structure and content.

Depending on the analytics service in use, information may include page views, device or browser characteristics, referring sources, approximate geographic information and interactions with website pages.

Analytics services may operate under their own terms, privacy policies and data-processing practices.

06 · Third parties

Third-party services and embedded content

Some pages may contain content, widgets, scripts or functionality supplied by third-party services.

When such content loads or when you interact with it, the third party may receive information about the interaction according to its own technologies and privacy practices.

Rainforest Reserves Australia does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services.

07 · Affiliate relationships

Affiliate links and travel services

Some pages on Rainforest Reserves Australia may contain links, widgets or other references to third-party travel services, including tours and activities.

Some of these links may be affiliate links. This means Rainforest Reserves Australia may receive a commission if a visitor follows an eligible link and later completes a qualifying purchase or booking, without necessarily changing the price paid by the visitor.

Affiliate partners and booking platforms may use their own cookies, tracking technologies or other methods to attribute referrals and operate their services.

Once you visit a third-party service, its privacy policy and terms govern your interaction with that service.

08 · Retention

How long information may be retained

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was received, normal website administration, security, record keeping or the management of correspondence.

Different systems and service providers may have different retention periods and technical backup practices.

09 · Security

Information security

Reasonable technical and administrative measures may be used to protect the website and information associated with its operation.

No internet transmission, storage system or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Visitors should therefore use appropriate care when deciding what information to send electronically.

10 · External websites

Links to other websites

Rainforest Reserves Australia links to external websites for travel services, official information, references and other relevant resources.

An external link does not mean that Rainforest Reserves Australia controls the destination website, its content or its handling of personal information.

Visitors should review the privacy information provided by the external service where appropriate.

11 · Updates

Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website, its services or its privacy practices change.

The current version will be published on this page, and the update date at the top of the page may be revised accordingly.

Rainforest Reserves Australia may link to park authorities, tourism operators, booking services, research organisations and other independent websites.

Where a third-party service is important to a transaction, booking or decision, its own privacy documentation should be reviewed directly.
