We take your privacy as seriously as we take our own. The Carbon Credits Trust (The Trust) is committed to respecting the privacy of its users and clients. The following policy discusses how personal and corporate information received by The Trust will be dealt with.

Privacy Act

Although not required by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the 'Privacy Act') to comply with its provisions, The Trust seeks to opt in to the Privacy Act in dealing with its clients and members. We do this so that our users and members will have confidence that they are dealing with a supplier committed to excellence and security for its customers.

Reporting on Site visitations

Any visitor to www.carboncredits.com website may visit the site without revealing their identity or any personal information.

In accordance with current standards, our service provider, automatically recognises and records each visitor's source IP address, date and time of visit, and pages viewed, but only discloses to us anonymous, statistical data, which we need to evaluate our website performance and generally improve the website over time.

Recording Personal Information

There are times, however, such as when you choose to become a member, to purchase a product or service, or to contact us using the forms on the carboncredits website, that we will ask you to provide specific personal information, such as your name, your address and commitment to a password. We do this because we need the information to properly process your payment, respond to your enquiry or give you access to other services and products. You may provide this information in any way you like, by mail, electronically or by telephone; you are not restricted to the forms provided on the site.

If you choose not to provide personally identifiable information, this could lead to The Trust choosing not to proceed with the relationship, because we may feel unable to do so to our mutual satisfaction. In this case we will communicate its decision immediately and will not keep details or include any details on any database.

However, if you do choose to provide this information, The Trust reserves the right to enter it into our databases and to use the information to send you key communications about carbon credits or other relevant information. You may opt out of this information simply by contacting us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Protecting Personal Information

This personally identifiable information is considered by us to be privileged information and we are committed to taking all reasonable steps to protect it from any third party. The Trust will only release information about you where we are required to disclose the information by law.

Protecting Transmissions

Of course no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and therefore any personally identifiable information transmitted to carboncredits must be at the sender's risk. However we have taken strong measures to protect this information.

Online Credit Card Transactions

To ensure a highly secure processing system for payments The Trust uses the facilities of the National Australia Bank. No credit details or information is provided to The Trust. All transactions are directly between you and the Bank. The Bank notifies us of successful transactions without providing any credit details. All transactions are encrypted using 128 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) architecture (dependent on browser support), and are signed using digital certificates.

Please Note: To tell if your browser supports SSL for encrypted e-commerce you should see a yellow solid key on a blue background (Netscape) or a yellow padlock (Netscape or Internet Explorer).
