Privacy Policy for TattingAcademy.com

1. Who We Are.

We are The Tatting Academy Team, operating from Australia.
You can contact us anytime at office@tattingacademy.com regarding your data.

2. What Personal Data We Collect (and Why).

When you sign up through our forms (e.g., to join our waitlist or newsletter), we collect:

• Your first name – to personalize our messages
• Your email address – to send you updates, course news, and valuable tatting tips

We only collect what you voluntarily provide.

3. Why We Process Your Data.

We use your data to:

• Improve our content and communication
• Send emails with useful resources, course announcements, and updates
• Keep in touch with you as a member of our community

We may use data such as email engagement or interest indicators to tailor our messages (e.g. by tagging users interested in a specific course).
This does not involve automated decision-making that has legal or significant effects.

4. Legal Grounds for Processing.

We rely on your consent when you submit a form or join our mailing list.
You can withdraw your consent at any time – just click “Unsubscribe” at the bottom of any email or contact us.

5. Who Has Access to Your Data.

We don’t sell or trade your data – ever.

We do use trusted service providers to help manage our communication:

• GetResponse (email marketing platform)
• Google Analytics (to understand site traffic – anonymous usage data only)

These providers may store or process your data on secure servers outside your country, but they comply with data protection laws (including GDPR-compliant safeguards).

6. International Data Transfers.

Because we’re based in Australia and work with tools like GetResponse (EU-based) and Google Analytics (global), your data may be transferred internationally.

Where applicable, we rely on standard contractual clauses and strict data handling agreements to protect your data in accordance with GDPR and Australian Privacy Principles.

7. Your Rights (Under GDPR & Australian Law).

No matter where you’re from, you have the right to:

• Access your data
• Request correction or deletion
• Withdraw your consent at any time
• File a complaint with a data protection authority
• Request restriction of processing in certain situations
• Receive your data in a portable format (data portability)

To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at office@tattingacademy.com.
We’re happy to help.

8. How Long We Keep Your Data.

We keep your data only as long as you stay subscribed.
If you unsubscribe or request deletion, your data will be erased within 14 days.
In some cases, we may retain data for a limited period as required by legal or administrative obligations.

9. External Links.
