PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: 10 February 2026
Malya Consultants respects your privacy and is committed to managing personal and cultural information in a lawful, secure, and culturally responsible manner. We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the
Australian Privacy Principles.
We also uphold Indigenous Data Sovereignty principles, recognising that cultural knowledge, community stories, and Aboriginal intellectual property carry meaning, authority, and responsibility beyond standard data classifications.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, including through contact forms, email enquiries, service bookings, subscriptions, and direct engagement. This may include names, contact details, organisational information, and enquiry content. We also collect limited technical information such as website analytics, device information, browser type, and usage data to support site performance and security. Where cultural, community, or sensitive contextual information is shared, it is handled with elevated cultural protocol, care, and consent.
How We Use Information
We use collected information to respond to enquiries, deliver services, manage relationships, improve website performance, meet contractual and legal obligations, and ensure culturally safe engagement practices. Information is not used for purposes unrelated to the reason it was collected.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to support essential functionality, analytics, and performance monitoring. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, however this may affect site functionality and user experience.
Third-Party Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. Information may be disclosed to trusted third-party service providers who support website hosting, analytics, communications, or business operations, where reasonably necessary. These providers are required to maintain confidentiality, comply with privacy obligations, and use information only for the purpose of service delivery.
Overseas Storage and Processing
Some service providers we use, such as cloud hosting or analytics platforms, may store or process data outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure information is handled in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles and appropriate data protection standards.
Data Security and Retention
We take reasonable steps to protect personal and cultural information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. Information is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil its purpose, meet legal or contractual requirements, or support ongoing engagement. When no longer required, information is securely destroyed or de-identified.
Your Rights
Under the Privacy Act, you may request access to personal information we hold about you, request corrections, or raise concerns about how information is handled. Requests and complaints will be managed in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.
Cultural Rights and Data Sovereignty
Cultural information, stories, images, knowledge, and community contributions remain the property of the individuals or communities who share them. Malya Consultants does not use, publish, or repurpose cultural material without clear permission and appropriate authority.
