The long version Privacy Policy:

What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit this website you may provide us with two main types of information: personal information you knowingly, or unknowingly, disclose that is collected individually and website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our website.

The personal information Leon Rowan may collect and use includes:

1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Personal information about visitors to our site is collected only when knowingly and voluntarily submitted. For example, we may need to collect such information to provide you with further services or to answer or forward any requests or inquiries. We intend this policy to protect your personal information from being dealt with in any way inconsistent with applicable privacy laws in Australia.

Registration Information
When you register for any of our products, services or newsletters, you will provide us with information about yourself.

Credit Card Information
If you use our services, you may need to give personal information and authorisation to get information from various credit services. For example, you may need to provide the following information:

Note: When you pay via PayPal, Square, or Stripe, we do not see your credit card details.

Email Information
If you correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email address, and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications we employ to maintain information received by mail and telephone.

Want To Remain Anonymous?
If you wish, you can interact with us anonymously and/or use a pseudonym. However, some payment methods or actions/services may require you to either be identified or disclose at least some information. For example, if you would like me to visit you at your home or place of work, I will need your address.
If, for example, you want to visit me for counselling services, use a fake name, and pay with cash, then you may do so. I will offer you a receipt without obligation. However, I would add that all my revenue is declared to the tax authorities in full, and paying in cash does not mean that you will get discounted rates or that any fraud will occur.
Depending on the situation, we may be unable to provide services if we do not collect personal information.

2. Use Of Information
Personal information visitors submit to our site is used only for the purpose they submitted it or for other secondary purposes related to the primary purpose unless we disclose other uses in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection. Copies of correspondence sent from the website that may contain personal information are stored as archives for record-keeping and backup purposes only.
Similar to other commercial websites, our website may utilise a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and web server log files to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and the websites visited just before and after our website.

How Do We Use the Information You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information to administer our business activities, monitor service use, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, customise our site’s content, layout, and services, and for other lawful purposes. These uses improve our site and better tailor it to meet your needs.
Such information may be shared with others aggregately. Personally identifiable information or business information will not be shared with parties except as required by law.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about significant changes to our website, new services, and special offers we think you will find valuable. You may notify us if you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing us at the link in the newsletter or by unsubscribing from our blog post subscription (email or RSS versions).

Besides the above, Leon Rowan may use your personal information to:

Our Cookie Policy
Please see our separate Cookie Policy  page.

IP Addresses
Your computer uses IP addresses every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number used by computers on the network to identify your computer. Our web server automatically collects IP addresses as part of demographic and profile data known as traffic data so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to your browser. Also, our web servers gather your IP address to assist with the diagnosis of problems or support issues with our services. Again, information is gathered in aggregate only and cannot be traced to an individual user.

Collecting Information On Registered Members

  1. When you register with us, we collect personal information about you so that you can fully take advantage of our services. You may need to provide additional information, as detailed below.
  2. Registration
    Registration is optional. It may include submitting your name, email address, address, telephone numbers, an option to receive updates and promotional material, and other information. You may access this information by logging in and going to your account.

Credit Card Details

  1. Credit Card details are only stored to process payments and will be deleted once we process them. We never get the payment credit card details via PayPal, Square, Stripe, or other merchant systems.

Sharing and Selling Information
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identifies (such as email addresses or personal details) a subscriber, client or person (such as a commentator) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide services, goods or information you have requested, or otherwise complies with the terms on this website.
Where Leon Rowan discloses your personal information to its agents or sub-contractors for these purposes, the agent or sub-contractor in question will be obligated to use that personal information in under the terms of this privacy statement.

Quality And Integrity Of Information

  1. Quality – We take reasonable steps to ensure that information collected, used or disclosed is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant and not misleading.

How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information we collect online here.
Please note we ensure you are requesting your information. For example, I have encountered accounts of how various individuals (including Private Investigators) have pretended to be other people and requested their details under privacy law. This method of illegal data acquisition tries to take advantage of human fallibility in various ways, one of which is that many people receiving such a request would assume that only the real subject would ask in that way. We request your understanding that should you request your private information, we will use stringent methods to ensure that you are making the request and not some insurer, bank, private investigator, neighbour, ex-partner, or another unauthorised person. I have experience in ‘counter-intelligence’ and am well versed in the ruses people use to obtain information.

  1. We will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to secure any information we hold about you and keep it accurate and current. If you discover that the information we hold about you is incorrect, you may contact us to have it corrected.
  2. In addition, our employees and contractors who provide services related to our information systems must respect the confidentiality of any personal information we hold.

Disclosure

  1. Apart from where you have consented or disclosure is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was submitted, personal information may be disclosed in special situations where we believe doing so is necessary to contact, identify, or bring legal action against anyone who may be: violating our Terms of Service, injuring, damaging, or otherwise interfering (unintentionally or intentionally) with our rights or property, users, or anyone else who such activities could harm. Also, we may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it, or for the exercise and protection of our legal rights, or in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings.
  2. We may engage third parties to provide you with goods or services on our behalf. In that circumstance, we may disclose your personal information to those third parties to meet your request for goods or services.

What About Other Websites Linked to Our Website?
We provide links to websites outside of our websites and third-party websites. These linked sites are not under our control, and we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct of companies linked to our website. Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to examine the terms and conditions of using that website and its privacy statement.

Our Commitment To Data Security
Please note that your information will be stored and processed on our computers/services,do our best primarily in Australia, the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Israel, Canada, Germany, France, New Zealand, and possibly elsewhere. The nature of data processing these days means data can even be stored in a ‘transit point’ somewhere between our computers and yours or between where data is stored and our/your computers. The laws on holding personal data in Australia and the United States may be less stringent than those of your country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, prevent loss, misuse or alteration, and ensure the correct use of information,  we have established appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online and via other methods. Secure methods and technology protect online payments.

  1. We strive to ensure the security, integrity, and privacy of personal information submitted to our sites. We review and update our security measures, considering current technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure.
  2. However, we will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information you may transmit to us or from our online products and services. Once we receive your transmission, we will also do our best to ensure its security on our systems.
  3. All personal information is protected from misuse, loss, disclosure, and unauthorised access.
  4. In addition, our employees and contractors who provide services related to our information systems must respect the confidentiality of any personal information we hold. However, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.

Destruction Of Information
Our background includes information security, IT security, counter-intelligence HUMINT & SIGINT.
Customer data is always locked down using advanced encryption. When such data needs to be destroyed, it is done so that it can never be recovered. This has been our policy for decades, regardless of changes in privacy law.

Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This site and Leon Rowan allow visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not receive future messages in accordance with their wishes. After unsubscribing, we will discontinue sending the particular messages as soon as it is technically workable.

Surveys
From time to time, to monitor or improve, our site requests user information via surveys. Participation in these surveys is voluntary, and the user, therefore, has a choice whether to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address) and demographic information (such as zip code and age level). We will use survey information for purposes that include monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

Cross-border data transfers
Information that Leon Rowan collects may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which Leon Rowan operates or uses web/Internet and other services to enable the use of the information under this privacy policy. Therefore, Leon Rowan cannot provide a complete list of countries or states because each and any country/region in the world could be involved. Leon Rowan operates worldwide – clients can be based anywhere, and because of cloud computing and other web services, data may be routed or processed anywhere. Leon Rowan cannot provide a complete list of countries, or states, because each and any country/region in the world could be involved. Please also remember that due to data routing and temporary storage in transit, your information might transit/be stored in any country worldwide.
In addition, personal information you submit for publication on the website will be published on the Internet and may be available worldwide.
We take reasonable steps to ensure our overseas-based services have appropriate privacy safeguards.
You agree to such cross-border transfers of personal information. If you object, please do not use our services or purchase anything from us.
Also, see comments in ‘Our Commitment To Data Security’ above. Relevant part covered here for your convenience: Please note that your information will be stored and processed on our computers/services, primarily in Australia, the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Israel, Canada, Germany, France, New Zealand, and possibly elsewhere. The nature of data processing these days means data can even be stored in a ‘transit point’ somewhere between our computers and yours or between where data is stored and our/your computers.
Here is an excellent example of how peoples’ information can be viewed in multitudes of countries: when we follow an individual on X (formerly Twitter) and make a comment of a client nature to an account we are following, then we are revealing to the world some personal information, even if it is simply that we are a client or potential client. X (formerly Twitter) is, of course, the holder of the information, but so is, to a degree, the X (formerly Twitter) account owner. If the Twitter account owner replies, as expected, then that reply is visible in multitudes of countries. We suggest then that if you are concerned about privacy, that you bear this kind of thing in mind and perhaps even be wary of organisations that simply say that your data is only accessed in one or two countries – if you look deeper, you will almost certainly find it is not.
Another example is that if a business uses a foreign task manager app to ensure that a client appointment is not missed, and the app is actually hosted in yet another country (which may be a trade secret of the app developer) and that country is different from where the app is based, then we have a situation where client data leaves Australia, is handled by the app in or via overseas, and is in turn hosted in a third country.
This privacy policy demonstrates that customer data may be handled literally anywhere in the world - not just in the case of our business but in the case of multitudes, including statutory bodies. It is not possible for anyone to be fully aware of or find out exactly where every piece of data is being processed/routed.
