Please be mindful of placing any sensitive or identifying information on any social media platform.

I use reviews widgets to import reviews you may have left on an independent review site. If you left your name on the review, it may be displayed on the website.
Like many websites, I collect analytical data via Google Analytics about the number and behaviour of visitors to my site. To see how Google collects and processes your data, please refer to:
You have an option via the 'cookie consent' to turn off analytics cookies and still access this website.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that identify your browser, provide analytics, remember user information, personalise your experience and may track user activity.
Cookies are used to improve your experience when accessing our website. An up-to-date list of the cookies we use is detailed in our cookie consent banner on the home page under ‘customise’.
‘Necessary” cookies are needed for the website to function. Our other cookies may relate to other functions such as newsletter sign up or google analytics.
You can choose to turn off all cookies except ‘necessary’ through the cookie consent banner. Doing so may cause some parts of the website not to function.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you edit or publish an article on this site, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
KindMilk has no control over the privacy policies associated with third party websites.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site data shown in the comments form is collected, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Testimonials
If you provide a testimonial either to me directly, or through another site (for example through google reviews), you give me your consent for the use of your name, photo (taken from your website or other public source), to be displayed on my website or in our other marketing material, together with the content of the testimonial that you provide. If you are uncomfortable with any details being displayed, please get in touch and I will amend or delete to reflect your wishes. Testimonials may stay on the website indefinitely unless you request it’s removal.
Who I share your data with
Data that you send via a contact form is never sold, given away, or shared with anyone except me, Tarnya Eggleton, to contact you and offer you lactation, breastfeeding, bottle and other feeding, baby sleep and settling and general baby and parent wellness support.
Google Analytics may keep a de-identified version of your data, but as mentioned above you can turn this feature off with cookies consent.
How long I retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data I hold about you, including any data you have provided to me. You can also request that I erase any personal data I hold about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Security of your information
The security of your personal and sensitive information is important and, as a health professional, I take reasonable security measures to prevent the loss, misuse, disclosure, or unauthorised access or alteration of your information under my control.
Unfortunately, given the inherent risks and complexities of online security, I cannot guarantee absolute security and consequently, cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to me and you do so at your own risk.
Complaints or queries
Please contact me directly at tarnya@kindmilk.com.au for any privacy concerns, questions, or complaints. I will happily answer any questions, or delete any information you are concerned about if I am legally able to do so.
