Personal Information
Project Nature-Ed recognises that your privacy is very important to you and that you have a right to control your personal information.

• Required by law.
• We believe it necessary to provide you with a service that you have requested.

In addition, to ensure the security and integrity of your personal information we use a variety of electronic security measures including secure databases to keep personal information secure from misuse, loss or unauthorised use or disclosure.
