8. How information is stored and protected
Kenwyatt.com.au takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These steps may include:

- applying technical safeguards such as access controls and encryption where appropriate

No online service can guarantee absolute security. However, Kenwyatt.com.au aims to reduce risk through careful system design, choice of suppliers and ongoing attention to security practices.
Personal information is kept only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law or professional obligations. When information is no longer required, reasonable steps are taken to destroy it or de-identify it.
9. Access, correction and choices
You have rights under Australian privacy law to request access to personal information held about you and to ask for corrections if that information is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.
Requests for access or correction can be made by contacting Support@Kenwyatt.com.au. Identification may be requested to help protect privacy and to confirm that the correct person is making the request.
There may be legal or practical reasons why full access cannot be provided in every case. For example, access may be limited where:
- providing the information would unreasonably impact the privacy of others
- the information relates to confidential editorial sources or legally privileged material
- disclosure would breach legal obligations.
Where access is restricted, Kenwyatt.com.au will explain the reasons where it is lawful and reasonable to do so.
If you no longer wish to receive certain communications, you can use the unsubscribe option provided in those messages (if available) or contact support@Kenwyatt.com.au with the relevant details.
