Collecting Information
We collect personal and business information you provide directly to us and data gathered through your use of our website. This includes your name, email, phone number, company, and role when you fill out the “Book a Discovery Call” form or sign up for our newsletter. We also collect information about your project details, funding stage, and goals during intake calls or forms. In addition, we collect usage data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referral URLs through cookies and site analytics. We record your marketing preferences, including whether you have opted in or out of receiving newsletters. We do not knowingly collect sensitive information unless you voluntarily provide it. Where lawful and practical, you may interact with us anonymously or using a pseudonym, but in some cases this may prevent us from providing certain services, such as booking a discovery call.
Using Information
We use the information we collect to respond to your enquiries and provide our advisory services. This includes scheduling discovery calls, preparing tailored proposals, and delivering newsletters or other direct marketing you have consented to receive. We also use your information to improve our website, content, and overall user experience, as well as to meet our legal obligations, such as keeping accurate business records and complying with taxation requirements.
Sharing Data
We only share your personal information when necessary to deliver our services or comply with legal obligations. This includes sharing data with trusted cloud service providers such as Google Workspace, Notion, and other softwares, some of which have servers in the United States, Singapore, the Netherlands, and Australia. We also share information with professional advisers like lawyers and accountants or with government regulators when required by law. We never sell or rent your information to third parties, and we take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle your data in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.
Securing Data
Protecting your information is a priority for us. We secure your personal data by encrypting it during transmission and storage, and by restricting staff access to only those who need it. We regularly update our systems to address security vulnerabilities and maintain secure backups. Most records are retained for seven years unless the law requires us to keep them longer. If an eligible data breach occurs, we will promptly notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, as required by the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
