Privacy Policy
HARVEY MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS is committed to providing quality services to you and this policy outlines our ongoing obligations to you in respect of how we manage your Personal Information.
We have adopted the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act). The APPs govern the way in which we collect, use, disclose, store, secure and dispose of your Personal Information.
A copy of the Australian Privacy Principles may be obtained from the website of The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at https://www.oaic.gov.au/.
What is Personal Information and why do we collect it?
Personal information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. The types of personal information HARVEY MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS may collect include your name, email address, phone number, and any other details you choose to share when contacting us or booking a meeting.
This information is collected:
When you book a meeting through our website (via a third-party service, Calendly)
When you contact us by email or phone
During meetings or consultations, where notes may be taken to understand your needs
We collect this information for the primary purpose of:
Responding to your enquiry
Providing service recommendations or preparing proposals
Maintaining client records
We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as health or financial records) through our website. If this ever changes, this policy will be updated accordingly.
You are not required to provide any personal information when browsing our website. If you choose to get in touch, any information you share is voluntary.
Sensitive Information
Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), “sensitive information” includes details about an individual's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade or professional memberships, criminal record, or health information.
HARVEY MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS does not collect sensitive information through our website or Calendly booking system. We do not request or require any sensitive personal information when you contact us or book a meeting.
If, in the course of working together, sensitive information is shared with us (for example, during a meeting or intake process), it will only be collected:
With your explicit consent,
For a clearly stated purpose that relates directly to the services we provide, and
In compliance with the Privacy Act and any applicable ethical guidelines.
We do not store or retain sensitive information unless it is necessary and permitted by law.
Third Parties
We collect personal information directly from you. Currently, HARVEY MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS does not collect personal information about you from other individuals or organisations.
If this ever changes, for example, if you authorise someone else to share information with us on your behalf, we will take reasonable steps to confirm your consent and ensure that you’re aware of what’s been provided.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not share your personal information with third parties unless you have given clear consent or we are required to do so by law.
In rare cases, we may disclose personal information:
If you request or authorise us to refer you to a partner (e.g. for design or digital services)
If we are legally obligated to comply with a request (e.g. under Australian law)
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information under any circumstances.
Security of Personal Information
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, or disclosure. This includes secure storage of email communications, password-protected cloud files, and the use of trusted third-party services (such as Calendly and Notion) with privacy protections in place.
We only keep personal information for as long as it is needed to deliver services or respond to your enquiry. When that information is no longer required, it is securely deleted or de-identified.
As a small business, we do not operate physical file storage systems and do not store health or financial data.
Access to your personal information
You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if it is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date.
If you would like to know what personal information we have on record or if you would like us to update or delete it, please contact us at noah@harveymc.com. We will respond as soon as reasonably possible.
To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before releasing or amending any information.
Maintaining the quality of your personal information
We aim to keep your personal information accurate and up to date. If you believe the information we have is incorrect or outdated, please let us know and we will make the necessary updates as soon as we can.
Policy updates
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. The most current version will always be available on our website. If the changes are significant, we will make reasonable efforts to let you know.
Data collected on behalf of research clients
HARVEY MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS occasionally supports ethically approved research studies by collecting information from potential participants on behalf of the research team. In these cases, the study team remains the data custodian. Any information collected is handled in accordance with their approved protocol, ethics approval, and participant information materials. We do not use this data for any other purpose. A separate privacy notice will be provided for each study.
