Privacy Policy

Openselections respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information in a careful, transparent manner consistent with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. This policy explains what we collect, how we use and store information, and the choices available to you. It applies to our studios, events, and digital channels that reference this document.

Information we collect may include contact details, booking history, payment references, health disclosures you choose to share for class safety, and communications exchanged with our team. We collect data directly from you during sign-ups, enquiries, attendance, or feedback, as well as through analytics technologies that help us understand general site usage. Analytics insights focus on trends and performance and are designed to support service improvements.

We use personal information to manage bookings, deliver classes, respond to requests, tailor programming, administer accounts, process payments, communicate updates, and maintain safety practices. With your permission, we may provide newsletters or event highlights. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time using provided controls, while still receiving essential service messages such as booking confirmations or schedule changes.

We may share information with trusted service providers who support scheduling, payment processing, email distribution, analytics, or lawful compliance activities. These providers are engaged under arrangements designed to protect confidentiality and use information only for services requested by Openselections. Where appropriate, data may be handled or stored in Australia or other locations with safeguards aligned to legal requirements and prudent industry standards.

We implement administrative, technical, and physical measures to help protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, or misuse. These measures include role-based access, encryption in transit where applicable, and training for staff regarding responsible data handling. While safeguards reduce risk, every digital system carries some residual risk; we continually review controls and aim to keep protections up to date.

You may request access to personal information we hold and ask for corrections if details are inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. Requests can be made by contacting our team using the details provided below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and outline any steps required to verify identity before releasing or amending records. Where a request cannot be fulfilled due to legal or operational limits, we will explain the basis and available alternatives.

Retention periods vary based on the purpose of collection and legal obligations. When information is *** longer required for business or compliance purposes, it will be de-identified or securely destroyed using methods intended to reduce the chance of recovery. Payment card data is handled through compliant processors, and we avoid storing full card numbers within our systems.

Our website may include links to internal pages such as our Legal section for policies and guidelines. These resources explain booking conditions, class etiquette, and health considerations that support safe participation. If you follow links from our site to other platforms managed by third parties, their practices and notices will apply.

Updates to this policy may be made periodically to reflect service changes, technology updates, or regulatory developments. The latest version will be published at this location with an effective date. Significant changes may be highlighted through a website notice or a brief email update where appropriate.
