Privacy Policy

Effective date: 01 July 2026

Accesssurge respects the privacy of clients and visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, and safeguarded when individuals interact with our website, communicate with our team, or engage our jewelry design services in Australia. Our approach aligns with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) to the extent applicable to our activities as a privately operated studio.

Information we collect. We may collect contact details (such as name, email address, telephone number), project notes, preferences regarding materials and styles, billing and shipping details for orders, and technical data generated by website usage (including device type, browser, and pages viewed). Where clients share gemstones or reference images, related metadata provided by the client may also be handled as part of the brief.

How we use information. Collected information supports consultation scheduling, preparing proposals and quotes, crafting custom pieces, arranging delivery, and providing aftercare. We also use aggregated analytics to understand interest in our services and to improve website performance, content relevance, and user experience. With client permission, selected project outcomes may be documented for portfolio materials that focus on craftsmanship and process; identifying details are handled with care.

Legal bases and consent. Where consent is requested, it is sought in a clear and specific way and can be withdrawn by contacting us through the details below. In other circumstances, processing may be based on fulfilling a request, preparing or performing a contract, or where our legitimate interests support security, quality assurance, and service improvement in a manner proportionate to expectations.

Sharing and transfers. Accesssurge works with trusted partners such as assay offices, couriers, and specialized craftspeople. These partners receive only the information required for their role and are expected to apply suitable safeguards. Personal information is primarily stored in Australia; selected tools may involve infrastructure in other locations with appropriate protection measures.

Retention. Records are retained for periods that support client service, tax and accounting obligations, and quality assurance. Retention schedules consider the lifespan of jewelry pieces, potential future resizing or maintenance, and statutory requirements. When information is *** longer required, it is scheduled for secure deletion or de-identification.

Security. We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to reduce risks such as unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse. Measures include access controls, staff awareness, and vendor review. While safeguards aim to reduce risk, absolute security cannot be guaranteed in any environment, so we encourage clients to share only the information necessary for their project.

Cookies and analytics. Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and enhance features. Visitors can adjust browser settings to manage cookies. Some site elements may rely on cookies to function as intended. The cookie banner on our site provides a simple way to register preferences.

Your choices. Individuals can request access to their personal information and seek correction where details are inaccurate or incomplete. Requests are handled in a timely manner, subject to verification and lawful limitations that may apply to certain records such as billing documentation.

Children. Our services are directed to adults. If we become aware that information relating to a child has been provided without appropriate permission, we will address the situation and arrange suitable handling steps.

Third-party links and embeds. Our site may reference third-party platforms (for example, map embeds to assist with directions). Those services operate under their own policies. We recommend reviewing their privacy statements to understand how they manage data.

International users. Accesssurge operates from Australia. By engaging with our site or services, individuals acknowledge that information may be processed in Australia and, where applicable, in other locations used by our service providers under protective arrangements.

Updates. This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. The effective date above indicates the latest revision. Material updates will be highlighted on this page.
