Privacy
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what personal information Lioria collects when you subscribe to our weekly letter, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. We follow the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Lioria is intended for Australian residents; if you subscribe from outside Australia, see "If you're outside Australia" below.
Who we are
Lioria is a weekly letter for new mothers. If you have any questions about your privacy or this policy, contact us at privacy@hellolioria.com.
What we collect
- When you subscribe: your name and email address.
- If you answer the optional questions: your stage in the transition into motherhood, whether this is your first baby, and an optional free-text note about what you'd like support with.
- When you visit the site: basic, non-identifying usage analytics (run without tracking cookies - see "How we measure our website").
The optional free-text note may include sensitive information, such as how you're feeling. You don't have to share it, and we only collect it with your consent.
Why we collect it
- To send you the weekly letter.
- To tailor what we send so it's relevant to where you are.
- To understand, in aggregate, how the letter and website are working, so we can improve them.
We collect only what we need for these purposes.
Your consent, and the optional questions
Subscribing means you consent to receive the letter and to your information being handled as described here. The questions after sign-up are optional - you can subscribe without answering any of them, and skip or leave them blank at any time. Where you choose to share the free-text note, we use it only to support and tailor your experience, we limit who can see it, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
Who we share it with, and where it's held
We use a small number of trusted providers to operate Lioria - to send the letter and store your profile, to host the website and process sign-ups, and to measure site usage. Some are located overseas (see "Sending information overseas"). Each is bound by a data processing agreement requiring it to protect your information consistently with this policy. We do not sell your personal information.
Sending information overseas
Because some of these providers are based overseas, your information may be stored or processed outside Australia - primarily in the European Union and the United States. We take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle your information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.
How we measure our website
We use a privacy-focused analytics tool to understand how people use our site, such as which pages are visited and how sign-up works. We run it without tracking cookies, so we don't store tracking identifiers on your device and you won't see a cookie banner. We never send your free-text note or other sensitive information to our analytics.
How we store and protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your information, restrict access to those who need it, and secure our credentials. We keep your information only while you're subscribed; if you unsubscribe, we delete or de-identify your profile within 60 days. Free-text notes are kept only as long as needed and can be deleted on request.
Your rights and choices
- Unsubscribe anytime, via the link in every letter.
- Access - ask for a copy of what we hold about you.
- Correct - ask us to fix anything inaccurate.
- Delete - ask us to erase your information.
- Portability - ask for your data in a portable format.
To exercise any of these, email privacy@hellolioria.com. We'll respond within a reasonable time, and within any timeframe required by law.
If you're outside Australia
Lioria is intended for Australian residents, but we apply this policy to every subscriber.
- EU / UK: where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, our legal basis for processing is your consent, and you also have the right to erasure and data portability and to withdraw consent at any time.
- United States: where US state privacy laws apply, you may have rights to access or delete your information, which we will honour on request.
Data breaches
If a data breach occurs that is likely to cause serious harm, we will act in line with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme - assessing and containing it, and notifying you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as required.
Complaints
If you're concerned about how we've handled your information, contact us first at privacy@hellolioria.com - we'll take it seriously. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can contact the OAIC at oaic.gov.au.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above shows when it last changed. If a change materially affects how we handle your information, we'll tell you in the weekly letter or by email before it takes effect.
