Privacy Policy

Who we are

Barefoot Kinesiologist is the practice of Anita Gibbons, a certified Emotions & Metaphysical Kinesiology practitioner based in Western Australia. This website is operated at thebarefootkinesiologist.com.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

What information we collect

We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it. This may include:

• Your first name and email address when you download The Unbecoming Journal or join our newsletter
• Your name, email address, and any personal details you share when joining the session waitlist
• Information you share in direct email correspondence with Anita
• Session-related information discussed during your kinesiology sessions, held in strict confidence

We do not collect sensitive information (such as health information) through this website. Any health-related information discussed in sessions is handled with the utmost care and confidentiality.

How we use your information

We use your personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected:

• To send you The Unbecoming Journal or other requested resources
• To add you to the session waitlist and contact you when a space becomes available
• To send occasional emails about EMK, Anita’s practice, and related topics — only if you have opted in
• To respond to your enquiries and provide the services you have requested

We will never use your information for purposes beyond what you have consented to, and we will never sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Email communications

If you join our mailing list, you will receive occasional emails from Anita about EMK, the journal, and her practice. These are sent with intention — never rushed, and only when something is genuinely worth sharing.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email, or by writing to hello@thebarefootkinesiologist.com. We will remove you promptly and without question.

How we store and protect your information

Your personal information is stored securely. We take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access. Where we use third-party services (such as email marketing platforms), we choose providers with strong privacy and security standards.

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law.

Cookies and website analytics

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site and to improve the experience. This information is collected in aggregate and does not identify you personally.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though this may affect some website functionality.

Disclosure to third parties

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties except where necessary to operate our services (for example, our email platform). Any third parties we work with are bound by their own privacy policies and are required to handle your information appropriately.

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law.

Your rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act, you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request that we correct inaccurate or outdated information
• Request that we delete your information (subject to any legal obligations to retain it)
• Withdraw your consent to receiving communications at any time
• Make a complaint if you believe we have mishandled your information

To exercise any of these rights, please contact Anita directly. We will respond to all requests within a reasonable timeframe.

Complaints

If you have a concern about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us in the first instance so we can attempt to resolve it. If you remain unsatisfied, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
