Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains how Grant Berardi ("I", "me", "my") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you visit www.grantberardi.com, purchase any of my digital products, or engage with my content and communications.
I am committed to complying with the Australian Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and where applicable, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for customers located in the United Kingdom and European Union.
By using my website or purchasing my products, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use my website or services.
Grant Berardi is an Australian-based counsellor, coach, and digital product creator operating as a sole trader. My website is www.grantberardi.com. All enquiries regarding this Privacy Policy can be submitted via the contact form at www.grantberardi.com.
I collect personal information in the following ways:
I use the personal information I collect for the following purposes:
When you purchase a product or opt in to my email list, you agree to receive ongoing email communications from me. These may include product updates, new releases, educational content, and promotional offers.
You can unsubscribe from my email list at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email. Unsubscribing will remove you from marketing communications but I may still contact you for transactional purposes related to a purchase you have made.
I use Systeme.io to manage my email list and communications. Your email data is stored securely within their platform. You can view Systeme.io's privacy policy at systeme.io/privacy-policy.
I run paid advertising campaigns across the following platforms: Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok. To do this effectively, I use tracking pixels and similar technologies on my website that allow these platforms to show my ads to people who have previously visited my website or who match certain audience profiles.
This means that after visiting www.grantberardi.com, you may see advertisements from me on social media or other websites. This is standard digital advertising practice.
If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising you can do so through your device settings, your browser settings, or through the opt-out tools provided by each platform:
My website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve functionality and enable advertising. The types of cookies used include:
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of my website. For visitors in the EU and UK, a cookie consent notice will be displayed on your first visit.
I do not sell your personal information to third parties. I may share your information with the following trusted service providers who assist me in running my business:
Each of these providers has their own privacy policy and data handling practices. I only share the minimum information necessary for them to provide their services.
I may also disclose your information if required to do so by law, or to protect my legal rights.
I operate globally and serve customers worldwide. Your personal information may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of Australia, including countries where data protection laws may differ from those in your home country.
Where I transfer data internationally I take reasonable steps to ensure your information is protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
For EU and UK customers: Where I process your personal data, I do so on the following legal bases under the GDPR — contractual necessity (to fulfil your purchase), legitimate interests (email marketing and advertising), and consent (cookies). You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
I retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. Purchase records are retained for a minimum of 7 years in accordance with Australian tax obligations. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting me via www.grantberardi.com — note that some information may be required to be retained for legal compliance.
I take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, and disclosure. My website is hosted on secure platforms and payment processing is handled entirely by PCI-compliant third-party providers. No payment card details are stored by me directly.
While I take these precautions, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on where you are located, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact me via the contact form at www.grantberardi.com.
My website and products are intended for adults aged 18 and over. I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a child has provided me with personal information, please contact me and I will take steps to delete it promptly.
My website and emails may contain links to third-party websites including social media platforms and external resources. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my business, technology, or legal requirements. When I do, I will update the date at the top of this page. I encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of my website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
