We collect personal information through the following methods:

Directly from individuals (forms, emails, phone)
In-person interactions
Through our website contact form

Where reasonable and practicable, we collect personal information directly from you. In some cases, we may receive personal information from third parties or publicly available sources.

At the point of collection (such as our website contact form), we provide a collection notice that informs you of what information is being collected, why it is being collected, and how it will be used. You are required to provide your consent before submitting any personal information through our forms.

5. Third-Party Services

We may share your personal information with the following third-party service providers to assist us in operating our business:

These third-party providers are required to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles and are only permitted to use your personal information for the specific purpose for which we supply it to them.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with other organisations for their marketing purposes.

6. Overseas Disclosure

Some of our third-party service providers (such as Cloudflare, Stripe, and Dropbox) may store or process data overseas. Before disclosing personal information to an overseas recipient, we take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to that information (APP 8).

Where an overseas recipient is subject to a law or binding scheme that provides protections substantially similar to the APPs, we may rely on that as a reasonable step.
