1. About this policy

This privacy policy explains how David Dark Foundational Health ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our website, book a session, or engage our health mentoring services.

We take your privacy seriously. Health and wellbeing information is among the most personal data a person can share, and we treat it with the care and respect it deserves.

2. Who we are

David Dark Foundational Health is a health mentoring service operated by David Dark, an Australian sole trader (ABN 32 513 387 186). We provide personalised health and lifestyle mentoring. We are not a medical practice and do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

3. What information we collect

We collect personal information in several ways depending on how you interact with us.

When you visit our website: We collect basic analytics data such as pages visited, referring website, and general geographic region. We do not use third-party tracking cookies for advertising. Our website is hosted on Cloudflare, which may collect technical data (such as IP addresses) for security and performance purposes.

When you book a discovery call or session: We collect your name, email address, phone number (if provided), and scheduling preferences through our booking system (Cal.com).

When you complete the intake questionnaire: We collect detailed personal and health information including your age, gender, health goals, current eating habits, medical conditions, medications, allergies, and lifestyle information.

During mentoring sessions: With your explicit consent, mentoring sessions conducted via Google Meet are recorded and transcribed. Recordings and transcripts are used to generate session summaries and to support the continuity of your mentoring engagement.

Between sessions: If you are on an ongoing engagement, between-session messaging takes place via Slack. Messages you send and receive in your private client channel are stored by Slack.

When you make a payment: Payment is processed by Stripe. We do not see, store, or have access to your full credit card or bank account details.

  • Sending booking confirmations, session reminders, and service-related messages.

We do not sell or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes, use it for targeted advertising, or use it for any purpose unrelated to the mentoring service without your explicit consent.

6. How we store and protect your information

Your information is stored using cloud-based services with servers located primarily in the United States and Australia.
