We may set and access cookies on your computer. Cookies are small pieces of data stored by your web browser on your computer when you visit most websites. Cookies provide our system with the basic information required to provide the services you are requesting. Cookies can be cleared at any time from your internet browser settings.

Website users can submit comments on blog posts or certain pages on our website. When comments are submitted, you can use aliases or information that hides your identity.
When a comment is submitted, we store the details (name, email, website) that you provide. These details are stored so we can display your comment to you and anyone viewing the comment sections on the site. We do not verify the information entered, nor do we require verification.
There may be some circumstances where your IP address, geographic location, and other browser-related details may be shared with third-party companies for analytical purposes.
When someone visits our website, we use two third-party services, Google Analytics and Pinterest, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. This allows us to track metrics such as the number of visitors to different parts of the site and interactions with the site. This information is processed in a way that does not identify anyone.
We do not make, nor allow Google or Pinterest to make, any attempt to identify visitors to our website.
We may also use third-party businesses to provide products and services, e.g., Etsy, PayPal, and others. This policy does not apply to the practices of these third-party businesses. We do not guarantee that website links to authorized third parties will follow our privacy policy, and you will need to agree to their privacy policies.
To provide the best user experience on our website, we use other third-party services to ensure your visits are in a safe and protected environment.
Where it is reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your personal information only from you. However, in some circumstances, we may be provided with information by third parties. This information comes from public forums, and any personal information must be approved and supplied by you.
In most situations, you may access the personal information we hold about you. We will handle requests for access to your personal information under the provisions and guidelines set out by the Australian Privacy Principles.
We will deal with all requests for access to personal information as quickly as possible; however, requests for large volumes of information, or information that is not currently in use, may require more time before we can respond.
We will not charge any fee for your application for access request but may charge a fee if we incur a cost to retrieve your information or provide a copy of your personal information.
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you to either view, amend or delete the information, subject to certain exceptions. One exception would be a request to delete information before the statutory minimum for records to be held for 7 years. If you wish to access your personal information, please contact us in writing.
To protect your personal information, we may require identification from you before releasing the requested information.
In some cases, we may refuse to give you access to the personal information we hold about you. This includes, but is not limited to, circumstances where giving you access would:
It is important to us that your personal information is up to date. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete, and current.
If you find that any information we hold is not up to date, incomplete or inaccurate, please advise us as soon as practicable so we can update our records and ensure we can continue to provide quality services to you.
Your personal information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse, loss and unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure.
When your personal information is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was obtained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your personal information.
However, most personal information must be stored in client files which will be kept for a statutory minimum period of 7 years.
From time to time, it may be necessary for us to revise/change our privacy policy. However, any changes will be under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.
