The Grief Sherpa is bound by the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and other relevant laws about how service providers handle personal information.
The Grief Sherpa is committed to complying with all applicable privacy laws which govern how The Grief Sherpa collects, uses, discloses and stores your personal information.
This Privacy Statement sets out in brief how The Grief Sherpa will handle your personal information. For further information contact info@thegriefsherpa.com or you can write to The Grief Sherpa, PO Box 2587, Mount Claremont, Western Australia to request more information.
The Grief Sherpa will only collect your personal information for the purpose of providing you with grief and bereavement related information, educational or self-help services and courses and will collect your personal information in order to engage with you in your dealings with The Grief Sherpa and related purposes.
Personal information may be shared when we outsource our services. This may involve us sharing your personal information with third parties. We may outsource information and data storage services which may involve storing that information outside of Australia. Where we outsource our services we take reasonable steps in the circumstances to ensure that third parties, including organisations outside of Australia, have obligations under their contracts with The Grief Sherpa to comply with all laws relating to the privacy (including security) and confidentiality of your personal information.
The Grief Sherpa will usually collect your personal information directly from you, but sometimes may need to collect it from a third party. We will only do this if you have consented or where it is not reasonable or practical for us to collect this information directly from you (for example, if another agency or employer purchases services on your behalf).
We will not use or disclose your personal information to any other persons or organisations for any other purpose unless:
- You have consented;
- The use or disclosure is for a purpose related to providing you with services and you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose your personal information in this way;
- We have told you that we will disclose your personal information to other organisations or persons; or
- We are permitted or required to do so by law.
When you access this Site, a record of your visit will be kept. The logged information will only be used for statistical purposes.
In the unlikely event of an investigation, a law enforcement agency or other government agency may exercise its legal authority to inspect our logs.
