Privacy Policy
How Nrth Star handles personal information, under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Last updated: not yet published.
Placeholder. This is not the Privacy Policy.
The headings below are the agreed structure. The document itself is being drafted and none of it is in force. Nothing on this page is a legal commitment by Nrth Star.
Who Nrth Star is
The entity responsible for personal information, its ACN, and its contact details. (APP 1)
What Nrth Star collects
Separated by stage: what the audit collects when nothing is connected, and what a connected account exposes once you approve a plan. (APP 3)
How it is collected
Directly from you during the audit, and from connected accounts through the consent screen you approve. (APP 3, APP 5)
Why it is used
Producing your audit, proposing and building automations, running the shadow replay against your historical data, and operating and repairing live automations. (APP 6)
Who it is disclosed to
Service providers and sub-processors, what each one does, and the contractual controls on them. (APP 6)
Cross-border disclosure
Which countries personal information may be stored in or accessed from, which providers hold it there, and the steps taken before disclosing it overseas. (APP 8)
Cookies and analytics
That this site uses PostHog to measure how it is used, what it sets on the device, that it is hosted outside Australia, that browsers sending Do Not Track are not measured, and how to opt out. It must also say that anything typed into the box on the home page is sent to PostHog along with the request — it is a description of your work, not a page view. (APP 1, APP 5, APP 8)
Automated decision-making
Where automated processing makes or substantially influences a decision, what kinds of decisions those are, and what information goes into them. Required in privacy policies from December 2026.
Direct marketing
What Nrth Star sends, how to opt out, and how that interacts with the Spam Act 2003. (APP 7)
Data quality and security
How information is kept accurate and protected, and how Nrth Star responds to a data breach under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. (APP 10, APP 11)
Retention and deletion
How long each category is kept, what happens when you disconnect an account or close your account, and when it is destroyed or de-identified. (APP 11)
Access and correction
How to ask for a copy of your personal information or have it corrected, and response times. (APP 12, APP 13)
Complaints
How to complain, how the complaint is handled, and how to escalate to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Changes to this policy
How you are notified of changes and when they take effect.
Contact
How to reach the person responsible for privacy enquiries.
