How we look after your personal information

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Meinsalonspace Academy collects, uses and protects personal information about founders, executives and other visitors who interact with our financial analysis learning platform.

We aim to handle your data in a way that feels as clear and grounded as the financial conversations we help you build.

Plain language, not legal jargon

Where possible we describe our privacy practices in clear, practical terms. If anything here is unclear, you can always contact us.

1. Who we are

In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Meinsalonspace Academy, a financial analysis learning platform for entrepreneurs and business leaders in Australia.

We can be contacted at:

2. Information we collect

The information we collect depends on how you use Meinsalonspace Academy. We group it into three broad categories.

2.1 Information you provide directly

Examples include:

  • Contact details such as your name, email address, phone number and role when you complete an enquiry form or book a call.
  • Company information such as business name, approximate revenue range, team size and the type of industry you operate in.
  • Content you share when you describe your current financial reporting processes, challenges or goals inside forms, emails or workshop exercises.

2.2 Information related to program participation

If you join a cohort or other learning experience, we may also process:

  • Session attendance records, scheduling preferences and learning progress.
  • Notes you choose to record in our workspace, including summaries of financial reports and decisions you document.
  • Feedback you provide in surveys or informal check-ins about the program.

2.3 Information collected automatically

When you visit our website or interact with emails, we may automatically collect:

  • Device and browser details (such as type of device, operating system, browser version and basic configuration).
  • Usage data, including pages visited, time spent on each section and links you click.
  • General location information derived from your IP address (for example, city or region).

This information is typically collected through cookies and similar technologies. You can read more in our Cookie Policy.

3. How we use your information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

  • To respond to enquiries, provide you with information about the program and schedule intro calls or follow-up conversations.
  • To deliver learning experiences, including managing cohorts, sending session details and providing access to workspaces and resources.
  • To personalise communication, such as tailoring examples, suggestions and content based on your role, industry and goals.
  • To improve our platform, curriculum and website by analysing how visitors and participants engage with different pages and materials.
  • To maintain the security and reliability of our systems, including detecting and preventing misuse or unauthorised access.
  • To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from regulators or authorities where required.

4. Legal bases for processing

Our privacy practices are primarily guided by Australian law. If you are located in a region with specific data protection rules (such as the European Economic Area or United Kingdom), we rely on one or more of the following legal bases when processing your information:

  • Your consent, for example when you choose to receive updates or agree to the use of certain cookies.
  • Performance of a contract, for example when we provide learning services you or your organisation have agreed to.
  • Our legitimate interests, such as improving the platform, keeping services secure and communicating with participants in a proportionate and respectful way.
  • Compliance with legal obligations where applicable.

5. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following situations:

  • With carefully selected service providers who support our operations, such as email delivery platforms, calendar tools, video conferencing services, analytics providers and workspace tools. These providers are only allowed to use your information to perform services on our behalf.
  • With members of your organisation, such as colleagues in your leadership team, when you participate in a cohort or share workspace content internally.
  • With professional advisers (such as legal or accounting firms) where reasonably necessary for compliance and business governance.
  • Where required by law, regulation or a valid legal process, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety or the rights and safety of others.

If Meinsalonspace Academy is involved in a merger, restructuring or similar process, we may transfer relevant information as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.

6. International data transfers

Some of our service providers may be located outside Australia. This means your personal information can be stored or processed in other countries with different data protection laws.

Where we transfer information internationally, we aim to work with reputable providers and to use safeguards that are appropriate for the nature of the data and services involved. If your local laws grant you specific rights in relation to international transfers, you can contact us to request more details.

7. Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.

In practice, this generally means that we:

  • Retain enquiry and contact details for a period during which it is still realistic that you or your organisation may join a cohort or request further information.
  • Retain cohort and workspace information for the duration of your program and a limited archive period afterwards, unless you ask us to delete certain items earlier where feasible.
  • Retain records needed to meet legal, tax or reporting obligations for the periods required by applicable law.

When information is no longer required, we take steps to delete it or de-identify it in a secure manner.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live and local laws, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These can include the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask for corrections if you believe information is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Request deletion of certain information, subject to legal and contractual obligations.
  • Object to or request restrictions on certain types of processing.
  • Withdraw consent where our processing is based on your consent, such as certain communications or non-essential cookies.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the “Contact us” section below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.

9. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve our website, understand how leaders use our content and remember certain choices you make.

When you first visit our site, you may see a cookie banner allowing you to accept all cookies or limit usage to essential cookies only. You can change your preferences at any time by adjusting your browser settings and reviewing our Cookie Policy.

10. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure. These steps may include access controls, encryption in transit for certain communications and limiting access to information on a need-to-know basis.

However, no system or method of transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. We encourage you to use strong, unique passwords for any accounts you maintain and to contact us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access to information relating to the academy.

11. Third-party websites and links

Our website and program materials may include links to websites or services that are not operated by Meinsalonspace Academy, such as accounting platforms, learning resources or partner organisations.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites or services you choose to visit.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements or how we manage personal information.

When we make significant changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and may provide additional notice on our website or through email where appropriate.
