Privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by PURE Equine Law/Emily Purvis via the website located at www.pureequine.com.au (Website).

What is "personal information"?

The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) currently defines "personal information" as meaning information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable:

  • whether the information or opinion is true or not; and

  • whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.

If information does not disclose your identity or enable your identity to be ascertained, it will in most cases not be classified as "personal information" and will not be subject to this privacy policy.

What information do we collect?

Our Website is hosted by Squarespace. You can access the Squarespace Privacy Policy here.

The amount and type of information we collect from you when you use our Website will depend on your use of the services and facilities available online. The only personal information which we collect about you when you use our Website is what you tell us about yourself, such as completing an online form, booking a consultation online, sending us an email, or though providing your personal information to us through contacting us on social media (such as Facebook or Instagram).

When you contact PURE Equine Law through this website or purchase a Digital Product via the Website, we collect personal information from you. We may collect information like your:

  • name, email address and phone number;

  • the names of other parties involved in your matter, so that we can run conflict checks;

  • files you upload; and

  • other personal information that you share with us.

We share this information with Squarespace, our website service provider, so that they can provide online services to us.

How we collect your personal information

  • We may collect personal information from you whenever you input such information into the website.

  • We may also collect personal information from you directly during a consultation or during the course of providing legal services to you.

  • This Website uses cookies and similar technologies, which are small files or pieces of text that download to a device when a visitor accesses a website or app. Functional and required cookies allow Squarespace, our hosting platform, to securely serve this Website to you. For more information about viewing the cookies dropped on your device, visit The Cookies Sparespace Uses.

Purpose of collection

The purpose for which we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information is:

  • to provide you with the best service experience possible on the Website;

  • to provide the services you have requested;

  • to monitor copyright and intellectual property compliance;

  • to carry out our functions as professional legal service providers.

We customarily disclose personal information only to our service providers and suppliers who assist us in providing legal services, payment processing and operating the Website.

We use third party service providers to provide services such as web hosting, payment processing, cloud data storage and professional service providers. Our key third party providers are Squarespace (www.squarespace.com) and Stripe (www.stripe.com).

By using our Website, you consent to the receipt of direct marketing material. We will only use your personal information for this purpose if we have collected such information direct from you, and if it is material of a type which you would reasonably expect to receive from us. We do not use sensitive personal information in direct marketing activity. Our direct marketing material will include a simple means by which you can request not to receive further communications of this nature.

Credit card information storage

Credit card information is not stored by us on our servers. We use Stripe Australia. You can access Stripe Australia’s Terms of Use here.

PURE Equine Law uses Stripe for its online credit card transactions. Stripe is a leading provider of payment solutions whose software, systems and procedures have been assessed and certified to PCI Data Security Standards. Through Stripe, PURE Equine does not have access to your card number as this credit card payment is secured by Stripe. Credit card information is encrypted and stored in a system completely isolated from Stripe. At no time is unencrypted card data stored on disk either inside Stripe's system or in the card storage system. Internally, card information is referenced only through the use of a token. The token is not derived from card information in any way. Visit the Stripe website for more information on online credit card payments.

Access and correction

Australian Privacy Principle 12 permits you to obtain access to the personal information we hold about you in certain circumstances, and Australian Privacy Principle 13 allows you to correct inaccurate personal information subject to certain exceptions. If you would like to obtain such access, please contact us as set out below.

Complaint procedure

If you have a complaint concerning the manner in which we maintain the privacy of your personal information, please contact us as set out below. All complaints will be considered and we may seek further information from you to clarify your concerns. If we agree that your complaint is well founded, we will, in consultation with you, take appropriate steps to rectify the problem. If you remain dissatisfied with the outcome, you may refer the matter to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Overseas transfer

Your personal information may be transferred and stored overseas with external service providers. It is not possible to identify each and every country to which your personal information may be sent. If your personal information is sent to a recipient in a country with data protection laws which are at least substantially similar to the Australian Privacy Principles, and where there are mechanisms available to you to enforce protection of your personal information under that overseas law, we will not be liable for a breach of the Australian Privacy Principles if your personal information is mishandled in that jurisdiction. If your personal information is transferred to a jurisdiction which does not have data protection laws as comprehensive as Australia's, we will take reasonable steps to secure a contractual commitment from the recipient to handle your information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Aside from the purposes set out above, your personal information will generally not be disclosed to recipients outside Australia unless you expressly request us to do so. If you request us to transfer your personal information to an overseas recipient, the overseas recipient will not be required to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles and we will not be liable for any mishandling of your information in such circumstances.
