Mel Cieslik Photography Pty Ltd (ABN 74 548 931 207) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose your personal information when you visit our website melcieslik.com, purchase our Products, or interact with us in any way. We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
We may collect the following types of personal information: your name, email address, billing address, payment information (processed securely through third-party providers — we do not store card details), IP address and browser information, course progress and engagement data, and any information you voluntarily provide via email, community groups, or support requests.
We collect personal information directly from you when you make a purchase, create an account on our client portal, subscribe to our email list, contact us via email or social media, or participate in our online community. We may also collect information automatically through cookies, analytics tools, and third-party integrations on our website.
We use your personal information to process your purchases and deliver your Products, provide access to courses, community spaces, and support, send transactional emails (order confirmations, login details, course updates), send marketing communications (only with your consent — you can unsubscribe at any time), improve our website, Products, and customer experience, and comply with legal obligations.
We use trusted third-party services to operate our business. These may include payment processors (Stripe, PayPal), our website and funnel platform (FG Funnels), email marketing tools, analytics services (such as Google Analytics), and social media platforms. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle your data. We only share the minimum information necessary for them to perform their services.
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyse website traffic, and support marketing efforts. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect your experience on our site.
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, modification, disclosure, or destruction. Your data may be stored on servers located in Australia or overseas (through our third-party service providers). While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information at any time. You may also opt out of marketing communications by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly. To make a request regarding your personal information, please email [email protected].
Our Products and services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal information, please contact us at [email protected].
