I comply with the Australian Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act).

I understand that visitors from the EU may access this site, so I also aim to comply with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

• if I am legally required to collect it

• for necessary administrative processes if you become my client

• if I believe that I can show a legitimate interest in using your data for marketing purposes, although I will always give you a choice to opt out

Sensitive information

I understand that some personal information is particularly sensitive, and that you are trusting me to keep this information confidential. 

I will only collect sensitive information by methods that are reasonably secure, such as:

• when you send me information in an email

• when you complete the contact form on my website

The reason why I collect this information is:

• so that I can provide you with the services you have requested

• your medical history

• your age

 I am committed to securely storing and handling your sensitive information. 

• Sensitive information is stored on a password protected computer that is kept locked when unattended

• Only I may access sensitive material.

You may choose not to provide me with your sensitive information. However, if you choose not to be completely honest with me, I may not be able to provide you with the services that you request.

Disclosure of information

Reasons why I may disclose your information include:

• to provide you with the services you have requested

• to send you products that you have purchased or won

In order to do this, I may share some relevant information - on a strictly need to know basis - with:

• my email marketing provider

• my online backup service

• Australia Post or courier companies

I will also disclose your information if required by law to do so or in circumstances permitted by the Privacy Act – for example, where I have reasonable grounds to suspect that unlawful activity, or misconduct of a serious nature, that relates to my functions or activities has been, is being or may be engaged in, and in response to a subpoena, discovery request or a court order.

If you have any concerns regarding the disclosure of your information in this context, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me to discuss this personally.

I will use all reasonable means to protect the confidentiality of your information while in my possession or control. I will not knowingly share any of your information with any third party other than the service providers who assist me in providing the information and/or services I am providing to you. To the extent that I do share your information with a service provider, I would only do so if that party has agreed to comply with our privacy standards or I am satisfied that the service provider has a suitably protective policy of their own. Some of my service providers may be overseas and may not be subject to Australian Privacy Laws or compliant with GDPR. Please contact me if you have any concerns about the potential disclosure of your information. Please also see the section on Security below.

I take reasonable physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect your information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

I manage risks to your information by:
