No Alcohol No Sweat is serious about your privacy.
This policy describes how No Alcohol No Sweat (also referred to as ‘I’, ‘me’, ‘my’ or ‘we’) handles your personal information, including what information I collect about you, what I do with it, how I store it and your rights.
The words ‘you’, ‘your’, or ‘user’ means you, the visitor to this website.
By using this website, you agree to be automatically bound by this privacy policy. Please read and understand the policy before using this website. If you don’t agree to these terms, please do not use this website.
This policy may be updated from time to time and the new provisions will apply from the date they are updated.
Contact No Alcohol No Sweat about your privacy
If you have any questions or concerns about my use of your personal information or wish to make a request to exercise any of your rights, please contact me at [email protected].
You can also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.oaic.gov.au. However, I would be grateful if you would contact me first if you do have a complaint so that I can try to resolve it for you.
What is personal information?
‘Personal information’ is information that directly identifies you, such as your name, address, email or data that could be used on its own or in combination with other data to identify you.
‘Sensitive personal information’ is information about you that requires additional protection such as health information, criminal history, ethnicity, religious beliefs, or sexual preferences. I do not actively collect sensitive information about you and request that you do not unintentionally share it with me. I will take steps to appropriately protect any sensitive information I do receive.
Staying anonymous
You can browse this website anonymously, although cookies may be used to collect information.
If you identify yourself to me when you, for example, post a comment or submit the Contact Form, at that point I will start collecting your personal information in accordance with this policy.
Minors
This website is not intended to be used by minors and I do not intentionally collect the personal information of persons under the age of 16. If you are the guardian of a minor and suspect they may have provided me with their personal information, please contact me and request to have the minor’s personal information destroyed.
Collecting personal information
At all times I try to only collect the information I need for the services I am providing, including to answer your questions, to contact you about a collaboration or featured interview, or to send you information or other promotional materials with your permission. You may withdraw your consent at any time and unsubscribe from these emails by emailing me.
The main way I collect personal information about you is when you give it to me, for example:
- when you comment on a post
- when you submit a Contact Form
- when you subscribe to the site
- when you send me answers to a questionnaire
- interact with No Alcohol No Sweat on social media
- when you ask to access information I hold about you
For compliance purposes, I may keep any of your personal information for a period of seven years, although I am not obliged to do so.
Social networking services and links to other websites
I may provide affiliate links or other links to third-party websites, or use social networking services such as Facebook and Instagram to communicate with the public about my work. These websites have their own privacy policies and will handle your personal information for their own purposes. I encourage you to familiarise yourself with the privacy policies of any third-party websites you use.
When you communicate with me through third-party websites, I may collect your personal information.
Disclosure
The information I collect about you is used only to provide you with my services. When you make a purchase through an affiliate link on the website, your information may be shared with the product or service supplier.
I may give access to personal information I hold about you to appropriate and competent advisors or authorities for the purpose of obtaining advice, having services completed for my business (for example, IT services) or where I am required to disclose information by law.
DISCLAIMER: While I do my best to ensure the security of your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be 100% secure. Despite my efforts, I cannot guarantee the security of your data. Provided I have acted in accordance with this policy, I will not be responsible for any loss you may suffer if your personal information has been unlawfully accessed.
