Question 1

What does a custom Data Protection Policy include?

• Types of personal information collected and purposes of collection

• Consent mechanisms and lawful bases for processing
• Data security measures and breach notification procedures
• Third-party disclosures and overseas transfers

Each section is tailored specifically to your business model, data collection methods, and industry requirements.

Question 2

How long does it take to receive my Data Protection Policy?

Accepted Answer

Standard delivery is 3 business days from when we receive your completed questionnaire. Express delivery (1 business day) is available for an additional fee.

After checkout, we email you a detailed questionnaire about your data practices. Once you return it, our Australian lawyers begin drafting your policy.

Question 3

Who will draft my Data Protection Policy?

Accepted Answer

Your policy is drafted by licensed Australian solicitors with specialized experience in privacy law and data protection compliance.

Our privacy law team has extensive experience across multiple industries including e-commerce, digital health, SaaS platforms, and professional services. Each policy is reviewed to ensure it meets current Australian Privacy Principles and industry best practices.

Question 4

What information will you need from me?

Accepted Answer

After checkout, we send you an AI-powered questionnaire that asks about:

• Types of personal information you collect (names, emails, payment details, health data, etc.)
• How you collect data (forms, cookies, third parties, APIs)
• Purposes for using the data (service delivery, marketing, analytics)
• Third parties you share data with (payment processors, cloud hosts, marketing platforms)
• International transfers and data storage locations
• Your current security measures
• Your business model and industry

The questionnaire adapts based on your answers, making it quick and efficient.

Question 5

Are revisions included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, one round of amendments is included in the base price.

After we deliver your initial draft, you can request changes to better reflect your practices or address specific concerns. We'll revise the policy and deliver the final version within 2 business days of receiving your feedback.

Question 6

Can I speak with the solicitor drafting my policy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you have complex requirements or questions during the drafting process, we can arrange a brief consultation with the solicitor working on your policy.

For more detailed consultations about implementation, compliance strategies, or ongoing privacy advice, we offer additional hourly consultation services.

Question 7

How is this different from a template?

Accepted Answer

Template policies use generic language and may include irrelevant clauses or miss critical provisions specific to your operations.

Your custom policy is drafted from the ground up based on your specific:
• Data collection methods (website forms, in-person, APIs, third parties)
• Business model (B2B, B2C, marketplace, SaaS)
• Technology stack (cookies, analytics, CRM systems)
• Third-party relationships (payment processors, cloud providers, marketing tools)
• Industry-specific requirements (health, finance, professional services)

This ensures every clause is relevant, accurate, and enforceable for your business.

Question 8

Does it cover cookies and online tracking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We include comprehensive provisions for:

• Essential cookies (functionality, security)
• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics, similar tools)
• Marketing and advertising cookies (Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, retargeting)
• Third-party tracking technologies
• Cookie consent mechanisms
• User opt-out rights

The cookie policy section is tailored to your specific tracking technologies and marketing platforms.

Question 9

Will my policy comply with the Privacy Act 1988?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your policy is drafted to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

We ensure your policy addresses all relevant requirements including:
• Open and transparent management of personal information (APP 1)
• Anonymity and pseudonymity where practicable (APP 2)
• Collection notices and consent (APPs 3 & 5)
• Use and disclosure limitations (APPs 6 & 7)
• Cross-border disclosure requirements (APP 8)
• Individual access and correction rights (APPs 12 & 13)

The policy also reflects recent updates and guidance from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

Question 10

What if my data practices change in the future?

Accepted Answer

Data protection policies should be reviewed and updated as your business evolves.

We offer:
• Annual policy reviews to ensure ongoing compliance ($450)
• One-off amendments for specific changes (quoted based on scope)
• Compliance audits if you're implementing new data collection methods

Many clients schedule annual reviews to ensure their policy remains current with new marketing tools, data sources, or regulatory changes.

Question 11

Do I need this if I already have terms and conditions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Terms and conditions cover your contractual relationship with customers. A data protection policy is a separate legal requirement under the Privacy Act.

If you're an APP entity (most businesses with annual turnover over $3M, plus all health service providers and some other businesses), you must have a clearly expressed and up-to-date privacy policy.

Even if you're not legally required to have one, publishing a privacy policy builds customer trust and demonstrates responsible data handling practices.

Question 12

What happens after I receive my policy?

Accepted Answer

After finalization, you'll receive:

• Microsoft Word document (editable)
• PDF version (for publishing)
• Implementation guidance (where to publish, how to link to it)
• Recommended review schedule

You can publish the policy on your website, link to it from forms and checkout pages, and reference it in customer communications. We recommend reviewing it annually or whenever you make significant changes to your data collection practices.
