What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Contact forms

If you choose to contact us using the form on our “Contact” page we will be sent an email message containing the name you supplied on the form, your email address and any personal information you choose to share. Your IP address will also be included in the email message we receive – this is captured for security reasons to help prevent fraudulent activity. Email addresses captured using our contact form are only used for customer service purposes, unless you also choose to opt-in to receive newsletters and marketing messages from us.

Online Store and Orders

Our “Services”, “Events” and “Products” pages all form part of our online store. When you view this content or add items to your shopping basket we will track:

  • Products you have viewed: we will use this to, for example, show you products you have recently viewed;
  • Location, IP address and browser type: we will use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping;
  • Shipping address: we will ask you to enter this so we can, for instance, estimate shipping before you place an order, and send you the order.

If you submit an order for a Service, Event, or Product we will ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and account information like username and password. We will use this information for purposes, such as, to:

  • Send you information about your account and order;
  • Respond to your requests, including refunds and complaints;
  • Process payments and prevent fraud;
  • Set up your account for our website;
  • Comply with any legal obligations we have, such as calculating taxes;
  • Improve our website offerings;
  • Send you marketing messages, if you choose to receive them.

The account that is created during checkout will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.

We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for 6 years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.

When booking Services and Events we also use this data to allow us to provide a personalised service and make contact with you prior to the appointment taking place. Your home address is only used in these cases to help us assist you in determining the best venue for your appointment to take place.

Your IP address will also be included in the order details we receive – this is captured for security reasons to help prevent fraudulent activity.

Data Used: IP address, user ID (if logged in), username (if logged in), user agent, visiting URL, referring URL, timestamp of event, browser language, country code.

Activity Tracked: Post and page views, outbound link clicks, referring URLs and search engine terms, and country. When this module is enabled, Jetpack also tracks performance on each page load that includes the Javascript file used for tracking stats. This is exclusively for aggregate performance tracking across Jetpack sites in order to make sure that the Jetpack plugin and code is not causing performance issues.

Activity Tracked: Failed login attempts (these include IP address and user agent). We also set a cookie (jpp_math_pass) for 1 day to remember if/when a user has successfully completed a math captcha to prove that they’re a real human. Learn more about this cookie.
