Hobie1 Mgmt Pty Ltd (ABN 81 703 587 259) is committed to protecting the privacy of our clients, website visitors and business contacts. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

1. Who We Are

Hobie1 Mgmt Pty Ltd provides professional business and consulting services to organisations and individuals across Melbourne VIC and greater Victoria. Our website is located at https://hobie1mgmt.online.

2. The Australian Privacy Principles

The Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) set out standards, rights and obligations in relation to handling, holding, using, accessing and correcting personal information. The APPs cover thirteen key areas, including the collection, use and disclosure of personal information, data quality and security, and an individual's right to access and correct their information. Hobie1 Mgmt Pty Ltd complies with the APPs in all aspects of our personal information handling.

3. What Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities. This may include:

• Your name, email address and organisation details when you enquire about our services, request a quote or subscribe to updates;
• Business information you share with us during an engagement, such as operational, financial or strategic documents;
• Records of our communications with you, including emails and correspondence;
• Website usage data collected through analytics tools, such as pages visited, browser type and general location.

We do not collect sensitive information (such as health, political or religious information) unless it is necessary for our services and you have consented to its collection.

4. How We Collect Information

We collect personal information in a number of ways, including:

• Directly from you, when you complete a form on our website, send us an email or engage our services;
• Through our website analytics when you browse our pages;
• From third parties where you have consented to that disclosure, or where it is otherwise permitted by law.

5. Why We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

• Respond to your enquiries and provide quotes and proposals;
• Deliver our business and consulting services;
• Manage our client relationships and business operations;
• Improve our website and service offerings;
• Meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

We will only use your information for the primary purpose of collection, or for a related purpose that you would reasonably expect. We will not sell your personal information.

6. Disclosure of Your Information

We may disclose personal information to service providers who assist us with our operations (such as website hosting, email and cloud storage providers), professional advisers, or where disclosure is required or authorised by Australian law. Where we engage third-party providers, we take reasonable steps to ensure they handle your information in accordance with the APPs.

7. Data Quality and Security

We take reasonable steps to ensure the personal information we hold is accurate, complete and up to date. We also take reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. This includes secure storage systems, access controls and appropriate technical safeguards. When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.

8. Access and Correction

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and request corrections if you believe it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. To make a request, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may ask you to verify your identity before providing access.

9. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience and analyse site usage. You can set your browser to refuse or delete cookies; however, some features of the website may not function fully as a result.

10. Overseas Disclosure

Some of our service providers may store or process data outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient is subject to privacy obligations consistent with the APPs.

11. Complaints and Feedback

If you have concerns about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first so we can resolve the matter promptly. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) via www.oaic.gov.au.
