Hello, my name is Katie Mackay and you will find my website at the address: https://www.katiemackayimage.com. I am an Image Consultant working in Australia helping Australian's look and feel their very best.
You may well ask, what is an Image Consultant? An Image Consultant helps people feel comfortable in the clothes they wear. Empowering the person to be more confident and comfortable in what they say about themselves through the clothes they wear. During the time I spend with a client I educate them on how to shop cleverly minimizing wasted money spent on clothes. I help refine the wardrobe and importantly identify a persons colour pallet and style.
While you are on my website I want to make your experience online satisfying and safe.
Because I gather certain types of information about our users, I feel you should fully understand my policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information I gather and how I use it.
Personal data, what's collected, why and what happens to the data
Information Gathered
Two types of information about users may be gathered:
Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive further information about products or services. Under no circumstances does 'Katie Mackay Image Consultant' divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.
Information 'Katie Mackay Image Consultant' gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout the sites. This information allows me to better tailor content to readers' needs. Under no circumstances does 'Katie Mackay Image Consultant' divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.
Process for Gathering information
I offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
"Get a Quote" form submission
You may choose to enter your details to receive further information relating to getting pricing on our products or services. The information gathered from this form is used for identifying your needs and to provide contact information for further communication about products and services as specifically requested.
"Contact Us" form submission
You may choose to request further information or ask questions directly from the online enquiry form. The information gathered will be used to make contact and provide answers to questions and not for any other purpose.
I offer the following paid services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
Bookings and product purchases
When you make a booking or purchase a product I also record your contact details. The information gathered will be used to make contact with you and provide the product or service you have paid for. I do not record or keep bank or credit card details. These details are kept with third party providers that I use to process your payment.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), I will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site I collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
My site may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable me to relate your use of my site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Katie Mackay Image Consultant uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above).
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.
If you leave a comment on my site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article during your interaction, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
I use standard Google analytics on the site to help me get a clearer idea of who goes were. Please have a look at how Google records your IP and other relevant data.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on my website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Opt-out Policy
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information from our users. Contact via email or phone to request the deletion of personal information or correspondence
What third parties we receive data from
None of your data that you give me is passed on to anyone. That's it!
What automated decision making and/or profiling I do with user data
I don't! I don't have enough time to hunt you down to that degree, plus that is just spooky.
Your Consent
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by Katie Mackay Image Consultant. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
