Privacy Policy

Our intent 

Privacy is important and we hate spam as much as you do.  Probably more.

We realise that communications are growing exponentially and you want to keep things focused and your information secure.  We are committed to honouring this.

We are also committed to treating the personal information we collect in accordance with the National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Australia).   

What we collect and why

We hold contact information shared by you to help us understand how we might best serve you.  From time to time we may augment this with publicly available information or tagging to help us understand better how we might be able to help you and reduce unnecessary communications. Data kept is limited to these purposes and those as specified within individual engagement letters.

Securely held

This information is held in well respected commercially secure contact management systems with relevant security settings diligently applied.  No third parties can access this data.

Client information is held securely and confidentially as per the engagement letters or contracts relevant to each engagement.

Our commitments to you

We make the following commitments to you.

  1. We communicate infrequently with our subscribers and try and keep our information as targeted and relevant as possible. 
  2. We will never include you in a mailing list without asking you first. 
  3. We will always make opting out of communications from us as easy as possible with a single click. 
  4. We will never share your information without your express consent.

International subscribers

Please note that we are a small organisation domiciled in Australia.  While Australian laws are consistent with best practice and GDPR standards there are differences in every country’s laws which are not practical to assess or comply with in full for an organisation of our size.   

We receive a large volume of international inquiries and sourcing of our literature, which puts us in the situation of either accepting some risk or closing the site down for non-Australian customers.  This would be a shame.

Rather than closing down the ability of international subscribers to access our works, we ask that you respect this situation and the risk we carry by providing access outside of Australia.  As such, we ask that you to accept the above arrangements if you seek any information from us. Subscribing to our mailing list implies that you have agreed to these conditions.

Opt out

You can opt out of communications with us at any time.
