Privacy Policy

About this privacy policy and who I am


My name is Kerrie Searle, Animal Communicator, and my website address is: https://animal-communicator.com.au. This policy refers to myself and any of my contractors who may provide services on my behalf for my business.

What personal data I collect and why


Contact form and order submissions

In compliance with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act), I adhere to a strict set of data collection principles in relation to collecting your personal information submitted via my website's contact form and in my online store orders. These data collection principles are as follows:

  • Visitors making a submission via my contact form or placing an order will be notified at the time of their data collection via an emailed confirmation;
  • Personal data will only be collected for the purpose of responding to your contact request, to facilitate making a booking for a consultation, or to facilitate the placement of essence blend orders within my online store;
  • The data collected is adequate and relevant for the purpose of making contact with me, making a consultation booking or placing an online order;
  • Personal data will not be kept for longer than necessary, and details will only be kept on file in the event that you proceed with a consultation or an online order. This record is securely stored solely for the purpose of recording the details of your consultation in the event of needing to refer to these details for a future booking or for the purpose of fulfilling your order;
  • Appropriate security measures are in place to protect your data, both on this website, with my Internet Service Providers (ISP), and on my computers and related devices;
  • Personal data will never be sold or transferred to anyone else, with the only transfer exception being where legal summons demands access.

Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks.

Embedded content from, and links to, other websites

Pages and articles on this site may include embedded content or links to other websites, and behave in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. Embedded content includes videos, audio (podcasts) and images, while links will navigate you away from this website to visit an external site.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who I share your data with


I will never share your data with anyone outside of my direct contractors, except where legal summons requires it.

How long I retain your data


For users that register on my website, it will also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators can also see and edit that information. My website does not store any payment information as this is processed via externally secured third-party payment processors.

What rights you have over your data


If you have an account on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data it holds about you, including any data you have provided to me. You can also request that I erase any personal data I hold about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where I send your data


All data is securely stored on my own databases, and I do not send data anywhere unless legally required to do so.
