information & privacy

I will

only ask for information I need
explain why I'm asking for it
explain whether it's required or optional
store it securely
ask your express permission before sharing it
not share your information to anyone else or for any purpose not stated below without your consent

You can request a copy to all information I have about you at any time. You can also ask me to update and delete that information.

Information requested during your workshop booking process

Your preferred first name, last name, email address, phone number and address.

I need these details to communicate with you and to put on your invoice. My billing system currently forces me to collect your address to take a booking, even when you're booking a Zoom session.

All of this information appears on your invoice along with
- session/workshop title, date/s and the cost

Your contact phone number

I only use this to communicate with you if we can't connect to Zoom or if I need to cancel the workshop.

Your workplace, occupation and any special requests for the workshop

This is optional and confidential. I only use it to prepare engaging and helpful workshop content. You'll introduce yourself in whatever way feels right for you.

Your learning and accessibility needs

This is optional and confidential. I only use it to support your learning. If I can't meet your needs, I'll email you.

Workplace-based 'in-house' training contracts

If you're coming to a workshop designed or contracted for your own workplace or industry, I will tell you which information will be passed on to your employer.

This will most likely be restricted to

whether you attended the workshop
whether you stayed for the duration of the workshop
whether you have passed any assessment (e.g., US29315 for HSRs)

Unless you explicitly ask me to, I will never share with your employer/PCBU

your specific learning or accessibility needs
issues you've raised during our workshop or in other communications
the additional data I gather for US29315 (see below)

All other services, including US29315

Printed resource orders

I only store and use the delivery address you provide to send any printed resources you've ordered. Your delivery address, name, email address, phone number, and what you ordered will show on your invoice.

Information shared during workshops and all other meetings/exchanges

We'll likely share a lot of information about each other's work and experience, This is all confidential unless you ask me to share it with someone. You can be frank and open with me. If I take notes during our sessions these are kept in my locked home office or secure online storage. I destroy notes every three months.

After workshop feedback

I request your feedback after your workshop. It is optional. I use this to improve my services and understand demographics of attendees. If you expressly agree I can use your feedback to market worksense, I will ask for a display name, display occupation and an optional selfie/image. This information is not stored on your account.

Information shared with others during your workshop

At the start of our workshop we discuss support each other and specifically what we mean by confidentiality. I encourage everyone to be open, you do not have to share anything you don't want to. Workshops are never recorded and closed captions/whiteboards/chat exchanges are not saved unless the whole group expressly agrees and there is good reason (accessibility). You can set your own name and pronouns on Zoom (unless you're using an employer account that prevents you from doing so).

HSRs only: information requested when formalising your US29315 achievement

If you attend my initial HSR training workshop and pass your assessment for Unit Standard 29315 I will request that you provide further detail to formalise your achievement with NZQA. Some of this information is compulsory and some is optional. The compulsory information and your NSN (if known) is stored in your worksense account. All information you provide through this form is shared with the three agencies that ensure your achievement is correctly assigned to your own NZQA 'account': WorksafeReps, iQualify/The Open Polytechnic, and NZQA itself. Your information may take a couple of months to be entered into the NZQA system. Contact me if you have any questions.

HSRs only: additional information when formalising your US29315 achievement

WorksafeReps, iQualify/The Open Polytechnic, and NZQA also request your gender and ethnicity information. If you choose to provide this information I do not store it in your worksense account.
