LAST UPDATED 16 OCTOBER 2026

Privacy policy

Your privacy matters to me. This page explains, in plain English, what information I collect, why, and how I look after it. If anything here is unclear, email me at hello@springforthco.com.

Who I am

Spring Forth Co is run by Megan Zischke, a sole trader based in Queensland, Australia (ABN 21 340 090 909). In this policy, “I”, “me” and “Spring Forth Co” all mean the same thing.

What I collect

Your name and email address when you join my mailing list.
Your name, email address and message when you use my contact form or email me.
Your booking details and any answers you give when you book a call.
Billing details if you buy something or work with me. Card payments are handled by a secure payment provider, and I never see or store your full card number.
General website statistics, like which pages are visited. These are counted without cookies and don’t identify you.

Why I collect it

To reply to you and book in our calls.
To deliver the work we’ve agreed on.
To send you the emails you signed up for.
To send invoices and keep the records the law requires.
To understand how my website is used, so I can make it better.

I’ll never sell your information, and I’ll only send you marketing emails if you’ve said yes.

The tools I use

To run my business, I use a few trusted services that store information on my behalf:

Systeme.io to keep track of my contacts and for my mailing list, bookings and online checkout.
Cloudflare to host this website and count visits without cookies.
FormSubmit to send messages from my contact form to my inbox.
Google Workspace for email and documents.
Xero for invoicing and bookkeeping.
Substack if you subscribe to my Substack. Their own privacy policy applies there.

Some of these services store information outside Australia, including in Europe and the United States. I choose providers that take security seriously and only share what’s needed.

Your information when we work together

When I work inside your systems on a project, your data stays in your systems. I don’t copy your customer or client information into my own tools, and I only access what I need to do the work.

Cookies

This website doesn’t use advertising or tracking cookies. Forms, booking calendars or checkout pages from Systeme.io may use cookies to work properly. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Emails and unsubscribing

Every email I send has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it any time and you won’t hear from me again, no hard feelings.

Keeping it safe

I use secure, password-protected accounts with two-step login, and I only keep information for as long as I need it. No system is ever 100% secure, but if a data breach is likely to cause you serious harm, I’ll let you know as the Privacy Act requires.

Seeing, changing or deleting your information

You can ask to see the information I hold about you, correct it or have it deleted. Just email hello@springforthco.com and I’ll get back to you within a reasonable time.

Complaints

If you’re worried about how I’ve handled your information, please email me first and I’ll do my best to sort it out. If you’re still not happy, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
