1. Who we are
“deBias”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the deBias consultancy business. If you have questions about this policy, contact contact@debias.com.au.
2. What we collect
- Contact details you provide (name, email, phone, employer).
- Correspondence (emails, messages, meeting notes).
- Engagement materials you share with us in the course of work (documents, data samples, artefacts).
- Basic technical data from this website (page, referrer, coarse device/browser info) where a hosting provider logs it for security and debugging.
3. Why we use it (purposes and lawful basis)
- Respond to enquiries and provide the services you request.
- Administer engagements, billing, and record-keeping obligations.
- Improve our offerings and secure our systems.
- Comply with legal and professional obligations.
We rely on your consent (e.g. when you email us), performance of a contract (engagements), legitimate interests (running the business and keeping it secure), and legal obligations.
4. Sharing
We don’t sell personal information. We share it only with:
- Trusted service providers (e.g. email, hosting, accounting) under appropriate agreements.
- Authorities, where required by law.
- Successors in the event of a business reorganisation, under equivalent protections.
5. International transfers
If data is processed outside Australia, we use providers with appropriate safeguards and only transfer what is necessary.
6. Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose collected, to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, or to resolve disputes. Engagement records are typically kept for seven (7) years to align with Australian record-keeping norms, unless you request earlier deletion where permitted by law.
7. Your rights
Subject to applicable law (including the Australian Privacy Principles), you may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information; object to certain processing; or withdraw consent. Contact contact@debias.com.au and we’ll respond within a reasonable timeframe.
8. Cookies & analytics
This website currently does not set non-essential cookies and does not include third-party advertising trackers. If that changes, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent via a banner.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (including HTTPS, access controls, and least-privilege practices). No system is perfectly secure; please don’t send highly sensitive information over unencrypted channels.
10. Children
This site and our services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be flagged on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
