3. How We Collect Data

We collect information through several primary methods:

5. Google Ads, Analytics & Remarketing

Our website utilizes Google’s advertising and analytics services.

6. Disclosure to Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or lease our customer lists to third parties. We may share data with:

• Service Providers: Such as email marketing platforms (e.g., Mailchimp) or CRM systems used to manage your inquiry. We may also share data with Fillout for form processing. We share information with our third-party booking provider to manage your appointments.
• Analytics Partners: Google, for the purpose of website performance and advertising.
• Legal Obligations: Where required by Australian law.

7. International Data Transfers

As we use service providers such as Google, Fillout, and our booking platform, your personal information may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside Australia (including the United States). By providing us with your personal information, you consent to this disclosure. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas recipient handles your personal information in accordance with the APPs.

8. Data Security

Our website is built on WordPress and utilizes industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption and security plugins, to protect data submitted via forms. While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

9. External Links

Our website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 15. Under Australian privacy guidelines, individuals aged 15 and over are generally presumed to have the capacity to consent to the collection of their personal information. (Note: Under the GDPR for European Union residents, this age is 16.) We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 15 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information from our servers.
