Privacy Policy

Last updated: [Insert date]

Audere Studios Pty Ltd ("Audere Studios", "we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have — whether you're browsing this website, getting in touch with us, or using our ServiceNow application, Phishy Phishy.

This policy is written to align with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). [Placeholder — confirm this policy has been reviewed by a qualified legal professional before publishing.]

Information we collect

We collect information in a few different ways:

• Information you give us directly — for example, your name, email address, and company, when you contact us through this website or request more information about Phishy Phishy.
• Information collected automatically — basic technical information such as browser type, device type, and pages visited, collected when you use this website.
• Information processed through Phishy Phishy — as a ServiceNow application, Phishy Phishy processes data within your own ServiceNow instance and, where applicable, through your own Microsoft 365 tenant or our isolated sending environment for spoofed-domain simulations. [Placeholder — expand with specifics of what campaign and recipient data is processed, and in what role Audere Studios acts — data processor vs. data controller.]

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to enquiries submitted through our contact form or email
• Provide, maintain, and improve Phishy Phishy
• Communicate with you about updates, support, or matters relevant to your use of our services
• Meet our legal and security obligations

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

Cookies

This website itself does not set any cookies. The typefaces used on this site are hosted on our own server rather than loaded from a third-party font provider, so no data is sent to an external font service when you visit.

The contact form on this site uses hCaptcha to prevent spam submissions. hCaptcha sets a cookie for this purpose, which its provider describes as strictly necessary to the anti-bot function and exempt from cookie consent requirements. See the hCaptcha entry below for more detail.

Third-party services

This website uses the following third-party services:

• LinkedIn — our footer links to our company LinkedIn page; LinkedIn's own privacy policy applies if you choose to visit it.
• Web3Forms and hCaptcha — our contact form is processed by Web3Forms, which uses hCaptcha to prevent spam submissions. hCaptcha collects your IP address, browser and device information, and interaction data (such as mouse movement and timing) to distinguish human visitors from bots, and sets one cookie for this purpose. This data is processed in the United States by hCaptcha's provider, Intuition Machines, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. [Placeholder — confirm current Data Privacy Framework certification status before publishing, and link to Web3Forms' and hCaptcha's privacy policies directly.]

[Placeholder — update this section if analytics, chat widgets, cookies, or other third-party tools are added to the site in future.]

Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. For details on how Phishy Phishy specifically handles campaign and delivery data, see our Security & Trust information. [Placeholder — link once that page exists.]

Your rights

Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request that it be corrected. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Data breaches

Audere Studios complies with the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme under the Privacy Act. In the event of an eligible data breach, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as required by law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
