Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Growdrainex collects, uses, stores and protects personal information when you visit our website or contact us.
Last updated: todayWho we are
Growdrainex ("we", "us" or "our") provides general informational and educational wellbeing content for office employees. Our registered correspondence address is 147-189 Brisbane Rd, Biggera Waters QLD 4216, Australia. You can reach us by phone on +61 7 5529 1734 or by email at team@growdrainex.world. For the purposes of applicable data protection law, we act as the controller of the personal information described in this policy.
Scope of this policy
This policy applies to personal information we handle through our website at growdrainex.world and through direct communication such as email and phone. It describes our practices in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and, where relevant, the principles of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for visitors located in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.
Our website provides general information only. It does not contain medical advice and is not intended to replace consultation with a qualified professional. This policy concerns how we handle data, not the content of the materials we publish.
Information we collect
We aim to collect only what we need. The categories of information we may handle include:
Information you give us
- Contact details such as your name and email address when you complete our contact form or write to us directly.
- Message content that you choose to include when describing your enquiry or your team.
- Consent records indicating that you agreed to be contacted in response to your enquiry.
Information collected automatically
- Technical data such as browser type, device type, approximate region and pages viewed, where you have allowed optional analytics cookies.
- Cookie preferences that we store locally in your browser so we can respect the choices you make.
We do not intentionally collect special category or sensitive information through this website, and we ask that you do not include such information in your messages.
How we use information
We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:
- To respond to your enquiries and provide the information you request.
- To arrange and discuss the general wellbeing programs and educational materials you ask about.
- To maintain a record of our correspondence for administrative and reference purposes.
- To understand, in aggregate, how our website is used so that we can improve its clarity and structure.
- To comply with our legal obligations and to keep our website secure.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Lawful bases for processing
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on the following lawful bases. We process contact form information on the basis of your consent and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries. We process analytics information only with your consent. We process limited information where necessary to comply with a legal obligation. You may withdraw consent at any time, which will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Cookies and analytics
Our website uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary items keep the site working and remember your privacy choices. Optional analytics and marketing items are only activated if you opt in through our cookie banner. You can change your preferences at any time. For a full description, please see our Cookie Policy.
Sharing of information
We treat your information with care and share it only where necessary:
- With trusted service providers who help us operate our website and email, under appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations.
- Where we are required to do so by law, regulation or a valid legal request.
- To protect our rights, safety and property, or those of others, where permitted by law.
Some of our service providers may process data outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information remains protected to a standard consistent with this policy and applicable law.
Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. As a general guide, enquiry correspondence is retained for up to twenty-four months from our last meaningful contact, unless a longer period is required for legal or administrative reasons. Cookie preferences stored in your browser remain until you clear them or they expire. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it using reasonable measures.
Security measures
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. These include serving our website over encrypted HTTPS connections, limiting access to information on a need-to-know basis, and reviewing our practices from time to time. While no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, we work to maintain appropriate safeguards.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information:
- The right to access the information we hold about you.
- The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- The right to request deletion of your information in certain circumstances.
- The right to restrict or object to certain processing.
- The right to data portability where applicable.
- The right to withdraw consent at any time.
- The right to lodge a complaint with a relevant supervisory authority, such as the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
Children's privacy
Our website and services are intended for adults, in particular working adults in office settings. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps to remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will revise the "last updated" date shown at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you stay informed about how we handle personal information.
