This Privacy Policy explains how Deemed to Perform Consulting (ABN 53 659 644 229), as the operator of the DTP Insider membership service at hub.deemedtoperform.com.au, handles personal information.
We are committed to handling your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). As a small business operator we may not be bound by the Privacy Act in all circumstances; nevertheless, we choose to apply the APPs as our standard because the trust of the practitioner community matters to us.
This policy covers DTP Insider only. Our main consultancy practice (deemedtoperform.com.au) and our DesignSure service have their own privacy policies. A copy of this policy is available free of charge on this page, and we can provide it in an alternative format on request.
Some information we collect — such as your professional registration details, or any professional or trade association membership you tell us about — may be sensitive informationunder the Privacy Act. We collect it only with your consent (given when you apply) and only where it is reasonably necessary to assess and manage your membership. We don’t collect health information, and we don’t collect bank or payment details (DTP Insider is free).
We use your information to:
We don’t use your information for any other purpose without your consent, unless required or authorised by law.
If you opt in, we send you the monthly DTP Insider newsletter and occasional updates about Deemed to Perform Consulting’s services. These messages comply with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth):
You can withdraw your consent at any time — use the unsubscribe link, change your preferences in your account, or email hello@deemedtoperform.com.au. We don’t use or disclose your information for the direct marketing of third parties, and we don’t sell or rent your information.
We share personal information only with the following service providers, and only as needed to operate DTP Insider:
We may also disclose personal information where required or authorised by law (for example, in response to a court order or a regulator’s lawful request).
We don’t sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with anyone for their own marketing purposes.
Partner consultants listed in the directory have agreed to display their business contact details to members. We handle their information consistently with this policy.
Some of our service providers are located outside Australia: email delivery (Resend) and website hosting (Vercel) in the United States, and analytics (Plausible) and error monitoring (Sentry) in the European Union. Our primary membership database is held in Australia (Supabase, Sydney).
Before disclosing personal information overseas, we take steps that are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure each recipient handles it consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles — including by relying on their published data-protection commitments and contractual terms. By using the service, you acknowledge that your information may be handled overseas as described. The countries listed may not have privacy laws substantially similar to Australia’s.
We use Plausible Analytics to measure how the service is used. Plausible is a privacy-respecting analytics provider that:
Plausible doesn’t see your email address, member ID, or any field from your member profile. We use the aggregate data to understand which content is read and where the service can be improved. You can decline analytics in your account preferences at any time.
We use Sentry to be alerted when the service encounters a technical error, so we can diagnose and fix it quickly. When an error occurs, Sentry receives the technical details needed to understand it — for example the type of error, the page or operation it happened on, the browser and device type, and a timestamp.
We have deliberately configured Sentry to leave out personal information. Before any report is sent we remove account identifiers, your email address, your IP address, request contents, and sign-in details. Error monitoring is a necessary part of operating the service securely and reliably, so — unlike analytics — it is not something you can switch off, but it is designed not to identify you.
No system is completely secure. If we become aware of a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm, we will assess it and, where the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme applies, notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in accordance with that scheme.
In line with APP 11, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify personal information once it is no longer needed for any purpose for which it may be used or disclosed, and is not required to be retained by law. You can request deletion at any time (see Section 10).
Consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles, you may:
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@deemedtoperform.com.au or use the controls in your account. We will respond within a reasonable time, usually within 30 days. We don’t charge for making a request, and access is generally free (we may recover reasonable costs in unusual cases, and will tell you first).
If you are not satisfied with our response, you can refer your complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au, 1300 363 992).
DTP Insider is for building-industry professionals and students and is not directed at children. Membership requires you to be 18 or older. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have, we will delete it.
DTP Insider uses essential cookies to keep you signed in (managed by Supabase Authentication). We don’t use third-party tracking cookies. Plausible Analytics is cookieless.
Membership applications are reviewed and decided by a person. We don’t make membership decisions by fully automated means. If this changes, we will update this policy and tell you how automated decision-making affects you.
We may update this policy from time to time. Where a change materially affects your rights, we will email you in advance.
