Privacy Policy
Last updated: 24 August 2026
Sanctuary Life respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have. We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
1. Information we collect
- Identity and contact details — your name, email address and mobile number.
- Household details — street address, house number, household type, and whether you own or rent.
- Preferences — the community pillars and activities you are interested in, your launch priority, pricing feedback, involvement preferences and any free-text "Other" answers.
- Technical data — limited device and usage data such as browser type and pages viewed, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
2. Why we collect it
- to record your registration and gauge community interest;
- to send your confirmation message and future updates about Sanctuary Life;
- to plan facilities, activities and pricing based on aggregated feedback;
- to maintain the security and integrity of our systems;
- to meet any legal obligations.
3. Consent and direct marketing
By submitting the registration form you consent to us collecting and using your information as described in this policy, including sending you community updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time by contacting us.
4. Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate the Site — such as our hosting, database and email delivery providers — under confidentiality obligations, or where disclosure is required or authorised by law. Any information shared with community partners is aggregated and de-identified.
5. Storage and security
Registrations are stored in a secure managed database with access restricted to authorised administrators through server-side controls. Data is transmitted over encrypted connections. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
6. Retention
We keep your registration for as long as needed for the purposes described above, and then delete or de-identify it, unless we are required to retain it by law.
7. Your rights
You may ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you. We will respond within a reasonable period. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to us first, and then to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
8. Cookies
We use a small number of cookies and local storage entries to run the registration form and understand how the Site is used. See our Cookie Policy for details.
9. Children
The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe we have, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always shown here with its "Last updated" date.
