Privacy Policy

Website Privacy Policy

findadoula.com.au respects each individual’s right to personal privacy. This website privacy notice explains our policy for dealing with personal information that we collect through this website.

By accessing or using this website you acknowledge and agree to be bound by this privacy notice.

Throughout this notice, we refer to your “personal information” which means information which identifies you as an individual or from which your identity can be reasonably ascertained. Your home address and home telephone number are examples of personal information.

From time to time we will post any changes to this website privacy notice on this website. We therefore encourage you to check this page from time to time.

In addition to the provisions of this website privacy notice, there may also be specific and additional privacy provisions that apply to certain sections of the website. Because those specific and additional provisions also relate to your privacy protection, we recommend that you review them wherever they appear. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this website privacy notice and those other specific and additional provisions, the specific and additional provisions will prevail.

Information collected

The information about you which we may collect through the website includes the following:

Feel free to browse some information-only areas of the website without providing any personal information, but you should note that the information set out in the web site is general in nature and we may not be able to provide the full range of services through the website if we are not provided with the information outlined above.

In common with many commercial websites we may also collect aggregated information which tells us about visitors to the website but not the identity of those visitors. For example, we may collect information about the date, time and duration of visits and which pages of the website are most commonly accessed. This information is used by us to help to administer and improve the website.

No cookies

We do not use “cookies” – small text files which are placed on your hard drive by some websites to store information.

Use and disclosure of information

We may share personal information with third parties including our associated offices, professional advisers and organisations with whom we have co-promotional arrangements (and any third parties used in administering those arrangements).

We may also share personal information with other service providers including organisations that assist us by providing archival, auditing, consulting, mailhouse, delivery, technology and security services.

In addition to providing our services (including online doula profile listing) to you, we may use or disclose personal information that we collect about you:

We may also use your personal information to keep you informed of our services, events, developments in the law and other matters. If you do not wish to be contacted for those purposes, please contact us by email to [email protected]. We aim to provide you with information and invitations that we consider may be of interest or relevance to you.

From time to time our website may offer chats, forums or message boards. Information posted in these venues becomes public knowledge.

Links

This website may, from time to time, contain links to the websites of other organisations which may be of interest to you. Linked websites are responsible for their own privacy practices and you should check those websites for their respective privacy statements and terms of use.

We also make no representation as to accuracy or completeness of the information contained in such third party websites.

Security

We use a number of mechanisms to protect the security and integrity of your personal information.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. So while we strive to protect such information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.

Once any personal information comes into our possession, we will take reasonable steps to protect that information from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Some sections of the website may protect your personal information by requiring you to use a password. For your own protection, we require you to keep this confidential and to change your password regularly.

Access to information

If you wish to request access to any other personal information which we hold about you as a result of our information collection practices outlined in this website privacy notice, please contact us by email to [email protected] and provide as much detail as you can about the particular information you seek in order to help us retrieve it.

If you have any questions or feedback about privacy, or wish to make a complaint about the way in which we have handled your personal information, please contact the findadoula.com.au Privacy Officer by email to [email protected]
