Last updated: 26 April 2026. How we handle information you provide to us.
Harpocratēs is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. We operate from Victoria, Australia. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. It applies to information provided through this website and in the course of pre-engagement discussions.
We may collect personal information you voluntarily provide, including:
We do not collect sensitive information unless it is required for a specific engagement and you have expressly provided it. We do not collect information automatically beyond standard web server logs — IP address, browser type, pages visited — used for security and diagnostics only.
Information you provide is used solely to:
We do not use your information for marketing, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to your enquiry or engagement. We do not sell or trade personal information.
We only disclose personal information:
Discretion is not a policy position. It is the operating standard.
We do not share information with third parties for their own purposes. Information shared within an engagement is limited to what is necessary to perform the services you have engaged us to provide.
Information is stored securely and is accessible only to the principals of Harpocratēs. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse.
In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights or interests, we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). No system is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.
Pre-engagement information is retained only as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Where no engagement proceeds, information is not retained beyond a reasonable period following the conclusion of pre-engagement discussions. Information relating to a formal engagement is retained in accordance with the terms of that engagement and applicable legal obligations.
We do not intentionally disclose personal information to recipients overseas. Where overseas storage occurs incidentally through cloud hosting or professional service providers, reasonable safeguards are maintained. We take steps to ensure any such storage is consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.
Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us directly through the contact page. We will respond within a reasonable time and in accordance with our obligations under Australian privacy law.
If you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles and are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
Privacy enquiries and requests should be directed to Joe Morabito or Lee Turner through the contact page on this website.
