Any personal or sensitive information voluntarily shared during intake, coaching sessions, or other communications (e.g., goals, challenges, professional background).

2. How We Use Your Information
We collect and use your personal information for the following specific purposes:
Service Delivery and Personalization: To provide, manage, and tailor the coaching services and digital content you purchase or request, including scheduling, facilitating, and personalizing individual sessions, group programs, and access to online resources.
Essential Communication: To send necessary, non-marketing communications such as session confirmations, scheduling updates, service changes, and important reminders relevant to your engagement with us.
Marketing and Educational Outreach: To send you promotional materials, newsletters, and educational content about our services, programs, or relevant topics. This will only occur where you have provided your express consent or where otherwise permitted by law (e.g., the Spam Act 2003 in Australia).
Website Optimization and Business Analysis: To analyze user engagement, track website performance, and conduct internal business intelligence and analytics to continuously improve our website functionality, service offerings, and user experience.

Security and Protection: To diligently monitor, detect, and prevent fraudulent activity, misuse of services, security breaches, and unauthorized access to protect the integrity of our services and safeguard our clients' information.
3. Sharing of Personal Information
We respect your privacy and do not sell or rent your data. We may share information under these limited circumstances:
a. With Trusted Service Providers:
We use third-party vendors (e.g., email platforms, web hosting services, payment processors, analytics providers) who support our business operations. These partners are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for authorized purposes.
b. International Data Transfers:
As a global coaching business operating from Australia, we use service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, email platforms) that may be located outside of Australia, including in the United States. When we disclose your data to these overseas recipients, we take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and applicable data protection laws, including implementing appropriate contractual safeguards.
c. Legal and Safety Requirements:
We may disclose personal data when required to do so by law or legal process, or to protect our rights, property, safety, or that of our clients and others.
4. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., in Australia or the European Economic Area), you may have enhanced rights regarding your personal data. You have choices regarding how your personal data is used:
Access, Correction, and Portability: You may request to view, update, or correct your personal information. Where legally permissible (such as under the GDPR), you also have the right to data portability, allowing you to receive a copy of your personal data in a usable, electronic format.
Deletion (Right to be Forgotten): You may request that we delete your personal information. Please note that we may be required to retain some information for legal, accounting, or security purposes, as detailed in Section 5.
Email Preferences: You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the “unsubscribe” link in our messages. Service-related emails (e.g., session links, invoices) will still be sent as they are essential to service delivery.
Cookies: You may adjust your browser settings to manage or disable cookies. This may affect your ability to use certain features on our website.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Policy or as required by law. This includes, but is not limited to:
Fulfilling coaching or service agreements
Meeting tax, legal, and contractual obligations
Internal record-keeping, analytics, or account history
Resolving disputes or enforcing policies
6. Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information using encryption, secure storage, and access control. While no system is completely secure, we are committed to using best practices to reduce risk. You are responsible for protecting login credentials and ensuring your device security.
7. Confidentiality of Coaching Conversations
In line with our Terms & Conditions, all coaching conversations are treated as confidential. We will not share session details or identifying information without your written consent—except:
When required by law.
If there is a risk of imminent harm to yourself or others.
In cases of suspected abuse (as mandated reporters).
In anonymized form during professional supervision.
Sensitive topics should be shared during live sessions rather than via email or messaging for privacy.
