Privacy policy

Last updated: 26 April 2026

Who we are

This website is operated by James Dent (ABN 44 372 570 198) trading as Dent Consulting (“we”, “us”), an Australian sole trader based in Western Australia. This policy is prepared for our operations under Australian law and explains how we handle personal information in connection with this site and when you contact us in relation to that work.

What we collect

Depending on how you use the site, this may include:

  • Information you send us — for example, if you email us, we receive your email address, the contents of your message, and usual message metadata.
  • Technical and usage data — your hosting or analytics provider (for example, if you use Vercel or similar) may process server logs or similar data such as IP address, user agent, and request time. We do not use this policy to list every sub-processor; we consider requests for detail in line with the rights below.

This site is informational. It does not offer user accounts, log-in, or a contact form that stores submissions in a database through the site itself; contact is typically by email or other channels you choose.

Why we use information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries and run engagements you ask us to consider;
  • operate, secure, and improve the site;
  • comply with law and protect our rights.

We do not sell your personal information.

Disclosure

We may share information with service providers that host or support the site, or with professional advisers when required, and when the law requires or permits disclosure.

Overseas recipients

If our hosting or tools process data in countries other than Australia, we rely on appropriate safeguards and contractual arrangements with providers, consistent with applicable law.

Security

We use reasonable steps to protect information we hold. No online transmission or storage is completely secure; you should use appropriate caution when sharing sensitive information by email.

Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including legal, accounting, and operational requirements, then delete or de-identify it where appropriate.

Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, you may request access to or correction of personal information we hold about you. You may also complain to us about our handling of your information. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

Cookies and similar technologies

The site is intended to work without non-essential tracking cookies. If we add analytics or similar tools in future, we will update this policy and, where required, your choices before or at the time of collection.

Children

The site is not directed at children. If you believe we have received information from a child in error, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Material changes may be signposted on the home page.

How to contact us

For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, use the contact details on the home page (including the email address shown there, when provided).

We may ask you to identify yourself before we act on a request, to protect personal information.
