Privacy Policy – Kate Blakk (Sydney, Australia)
Kate Blakk is committed to providing quality services to you. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect your personal information.
We follow the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). You can read more about the APPs on the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner website.
1) What is “personal information”?
“Personal information” is information or an opinion that identifies you, or could reasonably identify you.
Examples may include your name, address, email address, phone number, and any information you provide when you contact us.
2) What personal information do we collect and how?
We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our work.
We may collect personal information:
- when you contact us by email, phone, or via a website contact form
- when you request information or services
- when you subscribe to updates (if offered)
- through cookies and basic website analytics (see section 6)
Where practical, we collect personal information directly from you. In some cases, we may receive information from third parties (for example, referrals or publicly available sources). If this happens, we will take reasonable steps to ensure you are aware.
3) Why do we collect personal information?
We collect personal information for the primary purpose of:
- providing and delivering services
- responding to enquiries
- communicating with you about services and updates
- administrative, invoicing, and record-keeping
We may also use your information for related secondary purposes you would reasonably expect, such as sending relevant marketing or updates. You can opt out at any time by contacting us (see section 9).
4) Sensitive information
“Sensitive information” includes things like health information, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or criminal record.
We do not seek to collect sensitive information unless it is necessary for a specific purpose and permitted by law. If we do collect it, we will only use it:
- for the purpose it was provided
- for a directly related purpose you would reasonably expect, or
- with your consent, or as required/authorised by law
5) Disclosure of personal information
We may disclose your personal information:
- to service providers who help us operate our business (for example, website hosting, IT support, cloud storage, professional advisers). Only where needed
- where you have consented
- where required or authorised by law
We do not sell personal information.
6) Cookies, website analytics, and third-party links
Our website may use cookies and basic analytics to help it function properly and to understand how visitors use the site.
Cookies may collect information such as device type, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This information is typically not used to identify you directly.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
7) Storage and security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.
When personal information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it, unless we are required to keep it for legal or business record purposes. Some records may be retained for at least 7 years where appropriate (for example, business and tax records).
8) Access and correction
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, or misleading.
To request access or correction, contact us in writing (see section 9). We may ask you to verify your identity before releasing information. We do not charge a fee to make a request, but may charge a reasonable administrative fee to provide copies in some cases.
9) Questions, complaints, and opt-out
