  • Share learnings from our work together (always anonymised)

‍

How We Protect Your Information

  • Limited access: Only Nikita and essential team members can access client information
  • Secure communication: We use encrypted email and secure video platforms

‍

What We Can't Guarantee

No system is 100% secure. We do our best to protect your information, but we can't guarantee complete security. If there's ever a data breach affecting your information, we'll tell you immediately.

‍

Your Rights

Under Australian privacy law, you have the right to:

Access Your Information - Ask us what information we have about you. We'll provide it within 30 days (usually much faster).

Correct Your Information - If something's wrong or outdated, just let us know and we'll fix it.

Delete Your Information - Ask us to delete your information. We'll do this unless we need to keep it for legal reasons.

Restrict Processing - Ask us to stop using your information for certain purposes.

Data Portability - Get a copy of your information in a format you can use elsewhere.

Object to Marketing - Stop receiving marketing emails anytime (there's an unsubscribe link in every email).

‍

How Long We Keep Information

We keep your information as long as:

  • We're providing services to you
  • Required by Australian law (usually 7 years for business records)
  • You haven't asked us to delete it

When we delete information, it's gone permanently from our systems.

‍
