Privacy Policy 

This website is owned and operated by Create Space Psychology who will be referred to as “we”, “our” and “us” in this Privacy Policy. By continuing to use this site, you agree to our Privacy Policy as set out below. The Privacy Policy relates to the collection and use of personal information you may supply to us through your conduct on the website. We respect the privacy and confidentiality of the information provided by you and adhere to the Australian Privacy Principles. This privacy policy exists in addition to any other terms and conditions applicable to this website. Please note that we do not make any representations about third party websites that may be linked to the website.

Personal Information 

Personal information includes any information or an opinion that identifies an individual, including but not limited to names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and other personally identifying information. Personal information about any visitors to the website is only collected when it is voluntarily submitted via our enquiries form, email, or the client portal, or any other format in which you knowingly enter your personal information. We may need to collect this personal information to provide you with further services or to answer or forward any requests or enquiries. It is intended that our Privacy Policy will manage your personal information in a way that is consistent with applicable privacy laws in Australia.

Use and Disclosure of Information 

Personal information that visitors submit to our site is used only for the primary purpose for which it is submitted or for any other purpose related to the primary purpose. Examples of primary purposes include to assist us to provide our services to you, to provide information to our clients, or less commonly, for marketing purposes. If your data is to be used in any other way not associated with the primary purpose, we will disclose these other uses to you in this Privacy Policy or at the time the personal information is obtained. The personal information is obtained in various ways, including in consultations, by telephone and email, via this website, social media channels, from third parties, and sometimes from publicly available sources. Please note that we do not guarantee website links or policies of authorised third parties. Please also view our separate Social Media Policy.

Please also note that copies of correspondence sent from the website, that may contain personal information, are stored as archives for record-keeping and back-up purposes only. If you wish to stop receiving mailing/marketing information from us, you can unsubscribe at any time by contacting us in writing or using any unsubscribe links in our communications. If an individual does not wish for their personal information to be collected in any of the ways anticipated in this privacy policy, Create Space Psychology may not be able to provide psychological services to that individual. 

Outside of the conditions listed above, personal information may be disclosed where we are required to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena or warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request. Also, we may use your Personal Information to protect the rights, property or safety of createspacepsychology.com.au, our customers, or third parties.

Security 

Whilst no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure, Create Space Psychology strives to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal information submitted to our sites, and we review and update our security measures considering current technologies. We aim to take necessary steps to protect the personal information you may transmit to us or from our online products and services. Once we do receive your personal information, we will also make our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems. Please also note that any employees of Create Space Psychology or contractors who provide services related to our information systems are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us. However, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.

Access to Information 

If you use our website, we may utilise ‘cookies’ which enable us to monitor traffic patterns and to serve you more efficiently if you revisit the Create Space Psychology website. In most cases, a cookie does not identify you personally but may identify your internet service provider or computer.  However, in some cases, cookies may collect and store personal information about you. Create Space Psychology extends the same privacy protection to your personal information, whether gathered via cookies or from other sources, as detailed in this Privacy Policy. We also use permanent cookies to enable basic web traffic analysis using Google Analytics which, for example, shows us which areas of our website are popular against those that are not visited often. This allows us to prioritise our enhancements to our website and increase the productivity of our website.

This website may contain links to other websites. These links are intended for your convenience only. Links to third party websites do not constitute sponsorship or endorsement or approval of these websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. We encourage our users to be aware, when they leave our website, to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this website createspacepsychology.com.au.
