What is personal information?
‘Personal information’ is information that directly identifies you, such as your name, address, email, or data that could be used on its own or in combination with other data to identify you.
‘Sensitive personal information’ is information about you that requires additional protection such as health information, criminal history, ethnicity, religious beliefs, or sexual preferences. We do not actively collect sensitive information about you and request that you do not unintentionally share it with us. We will take steps to appropriately protect any sensitive information we do receive.
Staying anonymous
You can browse our website anonymously, although cookies may be used to collect information.
If you identify yourself to us when you for example, email or call us, make a purchase or apply to become a member, at that point we will start collecting your personal information in accordance with this policy.
Minors
Our website is not intended to be used by minors and we do not intentionally collect the personal information of persons under the age of 18. If you are the guardian of a minor and suspect they may have provided us with their personal information, please contact us and request to have the minor’s personal information destroyed.
How we collect personal information
At all times we try to only collect the information we need for the products and services we are providing. The information we collect about you includes your name, phone email, billing address and payment information (although our payment platform handles your credit card numbers).
The main way we collect personal information about you is when you give it to us. This generally occurs when you:
- contact us by phone or email
- make a purchase
- apply to become a member
- interact with us on social media
- ask to access information we hold about you
Testimonials
If you provide us with a testimonial, you give us your consent to use your name and photo (if supplied) with the content of your testimonial on our website and or in our marketing materials.
Social networking services and links to other websites
We may provide links to other websites or use social networking services such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram to communicate with the public about our work. These websites have their own privacy policies.
When you communicate with us using these services, we may collect your personal information. The social networking service will also handle your personal information for its own purposes. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with the privacy policies of any service you use.
How we use personal information
In general, we use your personal information to fulfil orders (for example, to process your payment information and or to provide you access to the member portal), contact you, answer your enquiries, and or send you newsletters and other promotional materials with your permission. You may withdraw your consent at any time and unsubscribe from these emails by clicking on the unsubscribe link or by contacting us using our details at the top of this document.
We may give access to personal information we hold about you to appropriate and competent advisors or authorities for the purpose of obtaining advice, having services completed for our business (for example, IT services) or where we are required to disclose information by law.
Storage of personal information
You agree that we may retain your personal information indefinitely, although we are not obliged to do so. For example, we may retain your email address for the purpose of sending you newsletters.
Security and overseas recipients
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. We take reasonable steps to protect all personal information within our direct control from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, unlawful or accidental destruction, modification or disclosure. We use respected hosting services, firewall and other electronic security procedures and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect from you.
CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER: Using the Internet to collect and process personal information involves the transmission of data on an international basis. For example, we rely on third-party providers to store the information you have provided to us and your data may cross international borders this way. Where possible, we nominate Australia as the storage country. However, for many third-party providers this is not possible, and your information will be sent or mirrored internationally. You acknowledge that different countries have different rules about personal information protection. We will do our best to ensure your data is protected to a similar standard as set out in this privacy policy by using reputable third-party providers with similar privacy protections. By using our services, you agree to us transferring your personal information across international borders this way.
DISCLAIMER: While we do our best to ensure the security of your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be 100% secure. Despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee the security of your data. Provided we have acted in accordance with this policy, we are not responsible for any loss you may suffer if your personal information has been unlawfully accessed.
