PRIVACY POLICY

Keeping Minds Positive Pty Ltd Privacy Policy

• Keeping Minds Positive Pty Ltd respects your right to online privacy. We have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate this commitment to you, our client, through transparent, easy-to-understand information regarding our data practices. You will understand what we collect, why we collect it and what we do with it. This policy applies to all KMP Counselling & Coaching Service website information, products, services (we will collectively refer to these as “Services”).

Information Collection: Account Level

• At an Account Level, we collect and use information necessary to enable you to pay for and manage Services. Some information is collected and used based on contractual consent and others are based on informed consent, which may be changed at any time.

​

Basic Account Information

• Information Collected. Our site uses a contact form in which you give us contact information (such as your name, address, phone number, IP address and email address) so you can make initial contact and request information, and request support help. As you progress with your contact with us, we may also collect support requests and other related types of information that is specific to the management of your confidential file and how you interact with our Services.

​Legal Requirement. 

• This type of information is legally and/or contractually required to be able to purchase and use Services. For example, we are required to be able to verify this type of information upon request by our payment processor. It is also required to be able to serve legal notices to you and is mandated by certain Services we offer.

How We Use This Information

• Sending Emails. Legally Required. As noted above, we use emails to communicate with you, to confirm your requests for information and services, to send information that you have requested and to serve legally or contractually required communications. Legally required emails cover mandated verification emails.

​

• Sending Emails: Service Communications & Promotional Communications. We also may use this information when it is important for us to contact you regarding changes to Services you have requested or have entered into with us. By completing contact forms and initiating service provision with Keeping Minds Positive Pty Ltd and/or purchasing our Services, you agree to receive these types of communication and acknowledge that they are not optional. We also use this information to share details about new services and special offers we think you'll find valuable (“Promotional Communications”.) You are able to opt-out of receiving Promotional Communications (or opt-into, depending on your country of residence) and unsubscribe via links contained within email communications.

​​

• Legally Required Disclosure. We will never share your information without your permission or in ways other than as outlined in this policy. The only exceptions to this are when we are required by law, in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in order to comply with the law, or when we must comply with a legal process. Examples of these types of exceptions are court orders, subpoenas and mandatory reporting processes. In each of these situations, we will carefully review the documentation provided and only comply if such documentation meets requisite legal standards.

​​

Changes in Our Practices. 

• If we change our information-handling practices or other privacy aspects, we will post those changes on this privacy statement. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by means of a notice on this site prior to the change becoming effective, and we may also try to notify you through email of the privacy changes, if necessary.

​​

Retention & Deletion of Account Information.

• Personal Information Following Termination of client / service provider relationship. When you cease Service and counselling services with me your files are closed (either voluntarily or involuntarily) all of your personally identifiable information is placed in a "deactivated" status within our corresponding databases. However, you should know that deactivation of your account does not mean your personally identifiable information has been deleted from our database entirely. We will retain and use your personally identifiable information, if necessary, in order to resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements and/or as required by laws or regulations. Thus, it may not be immediately deleted upon request and is an approved exception to deletion rights. By creating an account with us, using our support services and/or purchasing Services, you acknowledge and agree to these terms of retention. Information on how to close your account and to request a copy of stored information can be obtained by submitting a written, dated and signed request.

​​
