Privacy Policy for the Nourishin Website and Mobile App

This Privacy Policy applies to both the Nourishin mobile application and the website (https://nourishin.com.au), and governs how we handle personal information across both platforms.

Last updated: 19 August 2025

1. We respect your privacy

Nourishin Pty Ltd respects your right to privacy and is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our customers, website users and mobile application users. We adhere to the National Privacy Principles established by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). This policy sets out how we collect and treat your personal information.

2. Collection of Personal Information

We may collect personal information you provide via the Nourishin website or app, including:

  • Name, email address, phone number, and address
  • Information provided through feedback, wellness or postpartum settings, Circle of Support posts, surveys, or form submissions
  • Business and professional information submitted via Nourishin Village EOI forms (e.g. company name, location, services offered)

User accounts are identifiable by name and email. This information is stored securely and not shared publicly. We review all Village EOI applications before approval; however, we do not take responsibility for the business practices, qualifications, or insurance of directory members.

Users may also voluntarily submit sensitive information such as dietary requirements or location data (e.g. meal drop addresses). You control what you share and may update or delete your information.

3. How We Collect It

Personal information is collected when you:

  • Interact with us via the app or website
  • Submit forms, profiles, or feedback
  • Register or update your account
  • Contact support or participate in community features

We may also receive data from integrated third-party services.

4. Use of Personal Information

Your information may be used to:

  • Provide platform functionality and support
  • Create or manage directory listings (with your consent)
  • Send service or product updates
  • Customise your experience within the app
  • Respond to requests or technical issues

For directory users, information from your EOI form is used to create a listing after subscription and approval. Email addresses are also used to assign mailing groups via MailerLite.

5. Disclosure of Personal Information

Your data may be shared only when necessary with:

  • Our internal team
  • Email marketing providers (MailerLite)
  • Website and platform infrastructure providers (WordPress, JetEngine, Firebase, AWS)
  • Payment processors (WooCommerce)
  • Legal authorities where required by law

We do not sell or rent your personal information. All partners are required to handle your data in accordance with privacy laws.

6. Food-Related Information

You may choose to submit dietary requirements or meal drop address details when coordinating support. This information is not monitored or verified by Nourishin. We are not responsible for the safety, handling, or preparation of meals exchanged between users.

Users are responsible for clearly communicating dietary needs and for assessing meals before consumption.

7. Directory Transparency

We vet Village directory applicants before approval, but Nourishin is not responsible for verifying the insurance, licensing, or conduct of listed businesses. Any contact between users and Village Members happens outside of Nourishin’s oversight.

8. Security

We maintain physical, technical, and organisational safeguards to protect your personal data. However, no method of digital storage or transmission is completely secure.

9. Access and Corrections

You may request access to or correction of the personal information we hold about you. Contact us at contact@nourishin.com.au for assistance.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on our website. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

11. Nourishin Village Directory and Subscription Features

Users who submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the Nourishin Village may have their information used to create a public-facing profile after approval and payment. This includes business name, location, website, service description, and selected categories. Profiles are editable by the user. Subscription status and data are used to manage visibility and access.

Information is also used for tagging and communication via MailerLite and for assigning roles within the Nourishin platform.

12. Child Safety and CSAE Standards

Nourishin is committed to protecting families and preventing all forms of child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). Our app is designed for adult use only and is governed by strict policies that reflect both local and international safety standards.

Our Commitment

  • Zero-Tolerance Policy: Any content or behaviour that facilitates CSAE is strictly prohibited.
  • Age Restriction: The Nourishin app is not intended for users under 18. Accounts suspected of being used by minors may be suspended or removed.
  • Content Monitoring: We reserve the right to review and remove user-generated content that violates safety standards.

Reporting and Escalation

We align with global standards (e.g., Technology Coalition, eSafety, WeProtect). We will cooperate fully with law enforcement. If you see or experience anything concerning on our platform, please contact us immediately via email – support@nourishin.com.au.

We also strongly encourage users to report suspected CSAE content to the appropriate national authority.

Global Alignment

We align with global best practices such as those outlined by the Technology Coalition, and we support efforts to detect and deter CSAE on digital platforms.

Preventative Measures

We may use moderation tools, keyword detection, and activity monitoring to identify risks. Where relevant, we may implement image hash detection (e.g. PhotoDNA).
