Bainbridge Consulting is committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information we collect and use in our research, evaluation, and advisory work. Our approach is guided by the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and broader best‑practice standards for handling sensitive data.
We collect personal information only when it is reasonably necessary for our work, such as:
Participant details for research and evaluation studies;
Contact information for boards, executives, and project stakeholders;
Information needed to deliver evidence‑led decision‑support and reporting.
We use this information only for the purposes for which it was provided, and not for unrelated marketing or commercial purposes, unless you have given clear, informed consent.
We apply reasonable safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information, including:
Secure storage of data and documents;
Access controls that limit who can view or use information;
Information‑handling practices aligned with research and evaluation‑specific privacy codes where relevant.
We do not disclose personal or personally identifiable information to third parties unless:
We have your express, prior consent;
Disclosure is necessary to meet a legal obligation, such as a court order or government requirement; or
The information is shared in a de‑identified or aggregated form, so that individuals cannot reasonably be identified.
Where appropriate, we seek informed consent from participants, boards, or organisational leaders before collecting or using personal information. You may:
Request access to the personal information we hold about you;
Ask us to correct any inaccuracies;
Withdraw consent for certain uses where possible, consistent with our obligations to other stakeholders.
Bainbridge Consulting is accountable for its privacy practices and revises its approach as legal and ethical standards evolve. We treat privacy as integral to our commitment to rigorous, trustworthy research and evaluation, not as an afterthought.
