Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data based on the following legal grounds:
- Consent: Where you have given explicit consent for us to process your data for specific purposes (e.g., marketing communications)
- Contract: Where processing is necessary to fulfil a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract (e.g., providing services you have booked)

- Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation

If you are located in the EU or EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how we process it.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate personal data we hold about you.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
International Data Transfers
As we are based in Australia, any personal data you provide to us will be transferred to and processed in Australia. Australia is not considered to provide an adequate level of data protection under EU law. However, we implement appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data, including:
- Adherence to the Australian Privacy Principles, which provide comparable protections to GDPR
- Technical and organisational security measures to protect data in transit and at rest
- Limiting data access to authorised personnel only
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Specific retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the purpose of processing:
- Enquiry form submissions: 2 years from last contact
- Client service records: 7 years from last service provision
- Website analytics data: 26 months
Automated Decision-Making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects on individuals.
Data Protection Officer
While we are not legally required to appoint a Data Protection Officer under GDPR, we take data protection seriously. For any questions or concerns about how we handle personal data, please contact us at [email protected].
Updates to This Information
We may update this GDPR information from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
