This policy explains how I, Sam Akbari, handle personal information collected through samakbari.com. I aim to handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
What I collect
- Contact form. Your name, email address, company, the role and timing you select, and your message.
- AI Readiness Scorecard. Your answers are scored in your browser and are not sent to me. If you choose to email yourself the results, I receive your name, email address, company and scores.
- Bookings. If you book a call, the booking is handled by TidyCal, which collects the details you enter there.
- Website analytics. I use privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics that record aggregate information such as pages viewed and approximate location. They do not identify you personally.
How I use it
I use your information to reply to your enquiry, send you the results you asked for, arrange and prepare for calls, and understand how the website is used so I can improve it. I won't add you to a mailing list without your consent, and I don't sell personal information.
Who I share it with
I use a small number of service providers to run this website, and they process information on my behalf:
- Cloudflare hosts the website, provides analytics and checks form submissions for spam.
- SendGrid (Twilio) delivers emails sent from the website.
- TidyCal manages call bookings.
- WhatsApp (Meta) carries any messages you choose to send me there, under WhatsApp's own terms and privacy policy.
Some of these providers are based in, or store data in, the United States and other countries. I choose providers that take reasonable steps to protect personal information.
Keeping it safe
I take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access, and I keep it only as long as I need it for the purposes above or as required by law.
Access, correction and complaints
You can ask to see or correct the personal information I hold about you, or ask me to delete it, by contacting me using the details below. If you have a concern about how I've handled your information, please contact me first and I'll respond within 30 days. If you're not satisfied, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
