Privacy Policy

This website is the professional speaking site of Dr Rebecca Chabot. Rebecca is responsible for the personal information collected through this site, which is built and maintained on her behalf by 158 Lab. We handle your personal information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We treat what you give us with care because it is the right thing to do.

When you send a speaking enquiry. The booking form collects your name, your email address, your organisation, the type of enquiry, an event date if you provide one, and your message. We use these to reply to you about your event, and for nothing else.

When you subscribe to the newsletter. The sign-up collects your email address, a record of the consent wording you were shown (including its version and the time), and — because we use double opt-in — a record of when you clicked the confirmation link we emailed you. You are only ever emailed the newsletter after that confirmation click. Every newsletter carries a one-click unsubscribe.

When you browse the site. We keep simple, privacy-friendly visit statistics. For each page view we record the page, your approximate country, your device type, and the referring site if you arrived from an external link. We do not use cookies for this and we do not store your IP address: your IP and browser are combined with a secret value and a daily-changing marker into a scrambled code that cannot be reversed and cannot be linked from one day to the next.

To protect the site from spam and abuse, our systems briefly use your IP address to limit how often forms can be submitted, and our forms use Cloudflare’s Turnstile check to tell people from bots. Your raw IP address is not written to our database.

Some content on this site loads directly from the platform that hosts it: the videos on our appearances section load from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player when you scroll to them, and event images load from Eventbrite. When your browser fetches that content, the platform receives your IP address and browser information under its own privacy policy.

Events and tickets.Event listings on this site link out to Eventbrite. If you buy a ticket, that happens on Eventbrite under Eventbrite’s own privacy policy; this site receives no attendee information from your purchase.

• To reply to speaking and event enquiries.
• To send you the newsletter you asked for, if you subscribed and confirmed.
• To understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
• To protect the site from spam, abuse and fraud.

We do not sell your personal information, and we never will.

This site does not set tracking cookies, and there is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to. If you follow a link to Eventbrite, their pages operate under their own cookie and privacy terms.

Form submissions and newsletter records are stored in a database hosted in Sydney, Australia. The website itself is served through international infrastructure providers, which means some technical processing may take place on servers outside Australia. Wherever your information is handled, we take reasonable steps to keep it secure.

We share your information only with the providers needed to run the site, each under their own privacy terms and only for the purpose we engage them for:

• Supabase hosts the database, in Sydney, where enquiry and newsletter records are stored.
• Vercel hosts and serves the website.
• Resend sends our transactional email (enquiry notifications, newsletter confirmation emails and the newsletter itself).
• Cloudflare provides DNS for the site and the anti-spam check on our forms; when you interact with a form it receives your IP address and browser information to tell a real person from an automated bot.
• Eventbrite runs event ticketing on its own platform when you follow an event link, and serves the event images shown on our events page.
• YouTube serves the video embeds on our appearances section, through its privacy-enhanced player, when you scroll to them.

We keep your information for as long as we need it for the reason you gave it to us, and for any period required by law. If you unsubscribe from the newsletter, we keep a minimal suppression record so we do not email you again. When we no longer need your information, we remove it.

You can ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it — contact us through the booking page or at rebecca@purewellnesstasmania.com. We will respond within a reasonable time.

Tell us first and we will do our best to put it right. If you are not satisfied, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page.
