2. What personal information we collect (APP 3 & 5)
We collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities. Types include:
- Identity and contact details: name, email address, and message content when you use our contact form or register interest in an event.
- Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, pages viewed, referral URLs, date/time stamps, and approximate location derived from IP.
- Cookie and consent data: your cookie preferences stored locally and, if you opt in, analytics or marketing identifiers (see our Cookie Policy).
- Communications: records of correspondence when you contact us.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive information (as defined in the Privacy Act, including health information about you) through this website. Our content is general lifestyle education only. Please do not submit medical records, diagnoses, or government identifiers via the contact form.
Collection notice (APP 5): Where we collect personal information directly from you, we aim to provide this Policy (or a clear link to it) at or before collection. If you choose not to provide information required to answer an enquiry, we may be unable to respond fully.
3. How we collect information
- Directly from you (forms, email, phone).
- Automatically through cookies and similar technologies when you browse our site.
- From service providers that host or support our website (e.g. server logs).
We collect information lawfully and fairly, and where practicable, from you directly (APP 3).
4. Why we use personal information (APP 6)
We use personal information for purposes including:
- responding to enquiries and workshop registrations;
- operating, maintaining, and securing the website;
- improving content and user experience (with consent where required for analytics/marketing tools);
- complying with legal obligations and resolving disputes;
- managing our relationship with you and keeping records.
We will not use your information for a secondary purpose unrelated to the primary purpose unless you consent or an exception under the Privacy Act applies (e.g. required by law). We do not use personal information to train proprietary large-language models.
5. Artificial intelligence, algorithms, and automated processing (2026 transparency)
Under APP 1, we are open about how technology affects your experience. This section meets growing 2026 expectations in Australia and internationally for algorithmic transparency when AI or automation touches user-facing services or content.
5.1 What we use today
- Website articles: educational text may be drafted or edited with human oversight. Where generative AI tools assist wording, a human reviews content for accuracy, plain language, and removal of exaggerated health claims before publication.
- Photographs on this site: illustrative images in our
/imagelibrary are photographic assets (cameras or stock photography). We do not present AI-generated product mock-ups (for example synthetic interior scenes advertising goods) as real photography. If we ever label an image as AI-generated, that label will appear in the caption or alt text. - Contact form: messages are read and answered by our team. We do not operate an AI chatbot for medical, dietetic, or personalised hydration consultations on this website.
- Optional analytics/marketing cookies: if you opt in, third-party tools may use automated processing (including machine learning) on de-identified or pseudonymised usage data. See our Cookie Policy. You may refuse via the cookie banner.
5.2 What we do not do
- No fully automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you (for example automated eligibility for medical care).
- No sale of personal information to AI model trainers.
- No covert profiling based on sensitive health information you did not choose to share.
5.3 Personal information and AI vendors
If we engage service providers that process personal information using AI (for example hosted analytics or spam filtering), we:
- disclose that processing in this Policy or the Cookie Policy;
- use contracts requiring APP-consistent handling and security;
- limit data to what is reasonably necessary;
- honour your cookie choices before non-essential tracking loads.
5.4 Accuracy and human review (APP 10)
AI-assisted drafts can contain errors. We take reasonable steps to ensure published guidance remains accurate, up to date, and clearly general in nature. Report suspected errors to inquiry@energbiosex.world123.ddd with subject “Content correction”.
5.5 Your choices
You may:
- reject optional analytics/marketing cookies;
- request access to or correction of personal information we hold (Section 11);
- ask whether a decision about you involved automation—we will explain and offer human review where appropriate.
Questions about AI on this site: email “AI transparency enquiry” to the address in Section 1.
6. Direct marketing (APP 7)
We may send information about hydration guides, events, or site updates by email only where:
- you have consented, or
- you would reasonably expect us to send such messages in connection with your enquiry, and we provide a simple means to opt out.
Each marketing email will include an unsubscribe facility. You may also opt out by emailing us. We comply with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth): consent-based messaging, clear sender identification, and functional unsubscribe.
7. Disclosure to third parties (APP 6 & 8)
We may disclose personal information to:
- hosting and IT providers (Australia or overseas);
- email delivery services;
- analytics or marketing partners (only if you have opted in via cookie settings);
- professional advisers (lawyers, accountants) under confidentiality;
- regulators or law enforcement when required by law.
We do not sell personal information. We take reasonable steps under APP 11 to ensure overseas recipients handle information in accordance with the APPs, including contractual safeguards where information is disclosed outside Australia (APP 8).
8. Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law:
- contact and enquiry records: up to 24 months;
- server and security logs: typically 90 days;
- cookie consent records: 12 months;
- marketing suppression lists: until you opt in again or we no longer operate the list.
When no longer required, we delete or de-identify information where reasonable.
9. Security (APP 11)
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. Measures include HTTPS encryption, access controls, password protection, and contractual security obligations with vendors. No online transmission is completely secure; please contact us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access related to our services.
10. Notifiable Data Breaches (Australia)
Under the NDB scheme, if we experience a data breach likely to result in serious harm to individuals whose personal information is involved, we will assess the breach, notify affected individuals as soon as practicable, and notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) when required. You may report suspected breaches to us using the contact details in Section 1.
11. Access, correction, and complaints (APP 12 & 13)
Access and correction: You may request access to personal information we hold about you, or correction if it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading. Email us with “Privacy request — access” or “Privacy request — correction”. We will respond within a reasonable period, generally within 30 days. We may charge a reasonable administrative fee where permitted by law; we will explain any fee before processing your request. We may refuse access in limited circumstances permitted by the Privacy Act; we will provide reasons in writing where required.
Complaints: If you believe we have interfered with your privacy, contact us first. We will acknowledge your complaint and aim to resolve it within 30 days. If you are not satisfied, you may lodge a complaint with the OAIC:
- Website: www.oaic.gov.au
- Phone: 1300 363 992
- Post: GPO Box 5218, Sydney NSW 2001, Australia
12. Anonymity and pseudonymity (APP 2)
Where lawful and practicable, you may interact with us without identifying yourself (e.g. browsing public pages). The contact form requires an email so we can reply; you may use a pseudonym in your name field if you still provide a valid email for correspondence.
13. International visitors (GDPR / UK GDPR)
Where GDPR applies, our lawful bases may include consent, contract, legitimate interests, and legal obligation. You may have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent. You may complain to your local supervisory authority. For GDPR requests, email “GDPR request” to the address in Section 1. We respond within one month where GDPR applies, subject to permitted extensions.
14. Children
Our website is directed at a general audience including adults and parents. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 for marketing without verifiable parental consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
15. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. The “Last updated” date will change accordingly. Material changes will be published on this page. Continued use of the website after updates constitutes notice of the revised policy where permitted by law.
