Privacy policy

At Yugambeh Nation, we are committed to protecting your privacy.

You can travel through most of our site without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services. This privacy statement explains data collection and use practices of yugam.be; it does not apply to other Yugambeh Nation affiliated sites, products or services.

Collecting your personal information

We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. On this website, that is only when you send us a message through our contact form. The form asks for:

• your name and email address, so we can reply;
• your phone number, if you choose to give it;
• what your message is about, and your message;
• if you are asking about citizenship or checking the rolls: your parents’ and grandparents’ names and the family records you have, if you choose to give them, so we can look for your family on our rolls.

Where your messages are kept

Messages sent through the contact form are saved in a private database kept for the Yugambeh Nation on Amazon Web Services in Sydney, Australia. They are not sent by email and are not visible on this website. Only people the Nation authorises can read them.

How long the Nation keeps messages, and who in the Nation reads them (for example, the rolls committee for citizenship enquiries).

Privacy information

Yugambeh Nation does not share or sell any personal information collected with any other internal or any external entities. Personally identifying information you provide will be used only in connection with Yugambeh Nation programs and services in which you supply information for or for such other purposes as are described at the point of collection.

You can ask us to see, correct or delete the information you have sent us. Send your request through the contact form.

Children and privacy

Some of our free worksheets are made for children, for parents, carers and teachers to download and use with them. Our contact form is for adults. Yugambeh Nation does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 or send them requests for personal information. If you are under 13, please ask a parent, carer or teacher to contact us for you.

Cookies and advertising

A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your device when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your device or read cookie files created by other sites.

This website shows advertisements from Google AdSense, which help to keep the website and its free resources running. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google’s Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies at aboutads.info. Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services.

The Yugambeh Nation does not use cookies of its own. Our online dictionary remembers the spelling you choose in your own browser; that setting stays on your device and is never sent to us.

If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser. Every page of this website works without cookies.

Changes to this privacy policy

Yugambeh Nation will amend this policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information we will make that information available by posting a notice on this site.
