Enquiries submitted through our contact form are received directly by the SAGE team via email and are retained only for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes.

We do not store personal data in any third-party CRM, marketing platform or external database.

We do not transfer personal information outside of Australia except where required by law or where you have consented to such transfer.

7. Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymised, aggregate information about how visitors use our website. This data is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google uses this information to evaluate website usage, compile reports and provide other services relating to website activity. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

Google Analytics data collected on this website includes only aggregated, anonymised usage metrics. We have enabled IP anonymisation so that your full IP address is not transmitted to or stored by Google.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by:

We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit through a link on our site before submitting any personal information.

9. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Our website is served over HTTPS (SSL encryption) to protect data transmitted between your browser and our server.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
