We engage trusted service providers who assist with website hosting, payment processing, email delivery, and analytics. These providers access information only as necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or government request, or when necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety.

Aggregated and Anonymous Data

We may share aggregated, anonymized data that cannot identify individuals for research, marketing, or business purposes without restriction.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian privacy law, you have rights regarding your personal information. These rights enable you to control how your data is used:

  • Access: You can request copies of personal information we hold about you, subject to verification.
  • Correction: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information in our records.
  • Deletion: You can request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention obligations.
  • Portability: You may request transfer of your data to another service in commonly used formats.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the information provided at the end of this policy. We will respond to requests within reasonable timeframes as required by law.

Data Security Measures

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Technical Security Measures

  • Encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS protocols to protect information as it travels between your device and our servers.
  • Secure storage systems with access controls limiting who can view or modify personal information in our databases.
  • Regular security updates and patches to software systems to address known vulnerabilities and maintain current protection standards.
  • Firewall protection and intrusion detection systems monitoring for unauthorized access attempts or suspicious activity patterns.

Organizational Security Practices

  • Staff training on privacy obligations and proper handling of personal information to ensure awareness and compliance throughout our team.
  • Access restrictions ensuring only authorized personnel can access personal information on a need-to-know basis for their job functions.
  • Regular privacy assessments and audits evaluating our practices and identifying areas for improvement in data protection.
  • Incident response procedures for addressing potential data breaches quickly and notifying affected individuals as required by law.

Data Retention Periods

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Retention periods vary based on information type:

  • Account information is retained while your relationship with us remains active and for reasonable periods afterward.
  • Consultation records may be retained for several years to maintain service continuity and fulfill legal obligations.
  • Communication records are typically retained for reasonable periods to provide context for ongoing relationships and address inquiries.
  • Transaction records are retained as required by Australian tax and financial regulations, typically seven years.
  • Marketing preferences and communication history are retained until you withdraw consent or request deletion.

After retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize personal information so it no longer identifies individuals. Legal obligations may require longer retention in specific circumstances.

International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process data outside Australia. When transferring information internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards protect your data in accordance with Australian privacy principles:

  • Contractual protections requiring service providers to maintain security standards and use data only for specified purposes.
  • Verification that destination countries have adequate privacy protections or that providers implement appropriate supplementary measures.
  • Regular assessments of international service providers to ensure continued compliance with privacy obligations and data protection standards.
  • Transparency about which services involve international data transfers, enabling informed decisions about sharing personal information.
