WEH respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we may collect, how we use it, when we may share it, and the steps we take to protect it.
1. Information we may collect
We may collect the following types of information:
· Information you choose to provide to us, such as your name, email address, and the contents of any message you send through our contact form or newsletter signup.
· Basic website usage information, such as pages visited, browser type, device type, and general location, collected through analytics or similar tools.
· Cookies and similar technologies that help our website function and help us understand how visitors use the site.
2. How we use your information
We may use personal information to:
· Respond to your messages, questions, or requests.
· Send newsletters or updates if you choose to subscribe.
· Operate, improve, and maintain the website and its content.
· Monitor website performance, improve security, and reduce spam or misuse.
· Comply with legal obligations where required.
3. Health information
WEH is an educational website and not a medical service. Please do not send sensitive health information through our contact form, email, or newsletter forms.
If we receive private health information that we did not ask for and do not need, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete or de-identify it as soon as practicable, unless we are required to keep it by law.
4. When we may share your information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited personal information with trusted service providers that help us operate the website, such as:
· website hosting providers
· analytics providers
· email or newsletter platforms
· security, spam protection, or website support providers
These providers may handle information on our behalf only to the extent reasonably necessary for them to provide their services.
We may also disclose information if required by law, or where reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, or the security of the website.
5. Cookies and analytics
WEH may use cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site and to improve website performance. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling some cookies may affect how the website works.
6. Storage and security
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.
No website, email system, or online service can guarantee complete security. We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.

Depending on your circumstances and where you live, you may be able to:
· request access to personal information we hold about you

9. Australian privacy law
WEH aims to handle personal information in line with the principles of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
If you have a privacy concern or complaint, please contact us first using the contact details available on our website. If your concern is not resolved, you may also be able to contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
Cross-Border Data Transfers: Because WEH serves a global audience, some of our trusted service providers (such as hosting or analytics platforms) may be located or host data outside of Australia or your home country.
