In most circumstances, it is impractical for people to communicate with us anonymously. We need to identify you to assist you effectively. However, in circumstances where it is lawful and practicable to do so, we will provide you with the option of not identifying yourself, or using a pseudonym, when communicating with us.

This type of information is called ‘sensitive personal information’.

IGO will primarily collect personal information from you directly, such as when you subscribe to email alerts on our website or request information from us (including by correspondence, by telephone and fax, by email, and via our website).
