​
Information Collection and Use
Personal information is collected only when voluntarily provided by users through booking appointments, inquiries, or other direct interactions with the website. Information collected may include, but is not limited to, names, email addresses, phone numbers, and appointment details.
This information is used solely for the purposes of:
-
Facilitating client communication

Booking and managing appointments via the embedded Halaxy system

Monitoring website usage via Google Analytics to improve services and assess the success of marketing campaigns (e.g., Google Ads, social media).
Users’ data will not be sold, traded, or shared with third-party organisations, except in compliance with legal obligations or as needed to provide the necessary services.
​
Marketing Communications and Consent
Users will only receive marketing communications (such as newsletters) if they have explicitly opted in to receive such communications. Users may unsubscribe from these communications at any time by clicking the 'unsubscribe' link in the emails or by contacting hi@siobanlaffey.com.au.
​
Credit Card and Payment Information
Credit card details entered on this website via the Halaxy intake form are not stored or processed by siobanlaffey.com.au. Instead, Halaxy manages all payment processing and credit card handling through secure, encrypted methods compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). According to Halaxy's privacy policy, all payment information is encrypted and stored by Halaxy's payment provider.

This website uses Google Analytics to monitor and assess user interactions. Google Analytics collects non-personally identifiable data via cookies (small text files stored on your browser). This data helps track user behaviour, assess the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, and improve website functionality.
Cookies do not provide access to users’ personal devices or any personally identifiable information beyond what is voluntarily shared. Users will be notified of the use of cookies upon visiting the website via a pop-up banner and given the option to accept or manage cookie preferences.

Data Security
All personal data collected through the website is stored securely. Measures, including encryption, are in place to prevent unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure of your data. Credit card details entered through Halaxy are not stored on this website's servers, and Halaxy’s payment system ensures the secure processing of all financial transactions.
While every effort is made to safeguard personal information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely secure. Users are encouraged to notify siobanlaffey.com.au immediately if they believe their data may have been compromised.
​

In the unlikely event of a data breach, siobanlaffey.com.au will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities promptly, in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme under Australian law. Notifications will include details of the breach, the information at risk, and recommendations for affected individuals.
