3. Purposes and legal bases (GDPR)
We process personal data for the following purposes and on these legal bases:
- Operating the website and responding to enquiries (performance of a contract or steps prior to a contract, and our legitimate interests in communicating with visitors who contact us).
- Security, fraud prevention, and abuse detection (legitimate interests; where strictly necessary, compliance with legal obligations).
- Analytics and audience understanding where you consent via the cookie banner (consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
- Marketing communications only where you have given opt-in consent or as otherwise permitted by law (consent or legitimate interests as applicable).
- Compliance with legal obligations such as responding to lawful requests from public authorities (legal obligation).
Under Australian law we collect personal information only where reasonably necessary for our functions and handle it in line with the APPs, including ensuring notice, quality, security, and access rights.
3a. Australian Privacy Principles (summary)
We are an APP entity under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We comply with the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles regarding open and transparent management; anonymity and pseudonymity where lawful; collection, unsolicited information, notification, use and disclosure; direct marketing (including opt-out where required); cross-border disclosure; adoption, use, and disclosure of government identifiers; quality and security; access; and correction. For the full text, refer to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) materials applicable at the time you read this policy.
4. Disclosure and recipients
We may share data with hosting and infrastructure providers, email delivery services, analytics partners (only when you enable analytics cookies), and professional advisers bound by confidentiality. Some processors may be located outside your country; see International transfers below.
5. International transfers
Where personal data is transferred from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to Australia or other countries, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or UK authorities, or we rely on adequacy decisions or derogations where applicable. You may request a copy of relevant safeguards by contacting us.
6. Retention
Contact form submissions and related correspondence are retained for up to twenty-four (24) months after the last message in a thread unless a longer period is required for legal claims, regulatory compliance, or documented legitimate interests. Server and security logs are typically retained for up to ninety (90) days. Cookie lifetimes are stated in the Cookie Policy. When retention ends, we delete or anonymise data where feasible.
7. Security measures
We apply administrative, technical, and organisational measures including HTTPS transport encryption for the site, access controls for systems that store messages, pseudonymisation where appropriate, regular review of subprocessors, and staff confidentiality expectations. No online transmission is completely secure; we encourage you to use strong passwords on your own devices.
8. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to: access your personal data; rectify inaccurate data; erase data in certain circumstances; restrict processing; receive a portable copy of data you provided; object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing; withdraw consent where processing was consent-based; and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country.
In Australia you may request access to or correction of personal information we hold. To exercise any right, email ask@shefrealmychik.world with a clear description of your request. We may need to verify your identity before responding. We will answer within one month for GDPR requests (extendable where complex) and within 30 days for Australian Privacy Act requests where practicable (or as otherwise required under the APPs).
8a. Notifiable Data Breaches scheme (Australia)
If we become aware of unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss of personal information that is likely to result in serious harm to individuals, we will assess the incident under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme in Part IIIC of the Privacy Act 1988. Where a breach is eligible and notifiable, we will notify affected individuals and the OAIC as required by law, and describe steps we are taking.
8b. Electronic messages (Spam Act 2003)
We send commercial electronic messages only with consent, accurate sender identification, and a functional unsubscribe facility where the Act applies. Enquiry replies and purely transactional messages are handled separately from marketing lists.
9. Children
This website is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe we have done so, contact us and we will delete the information where appropriate.
10. Automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
11. Changes
We may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes. The “Last updated” date will change accordingly. Material changes may be highlighted on the site or by email where we have your address.
