Privacy Policy

How Joyful Freedom Hypnotherapy collects, uses, and protects your personal information. Effective July 2026.

Who We Are

Joyful Freedom Hypnotherapy is operated by Dr Marilynne Kirshbaum (RN, PhD) in Darwin, Northern Territory, offering sessions in person and online. You can reach us any time at thejoyfulfreedomapproach@gmail.com.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.

What We Collect

When you use our discovery-chat form, we collect the details you choose to share: your name, email, phone number, the areas you would like to work on, how you would prefer to meet, whether you have tried this kind of work before, and anything else you would like Marilynne to know.

Because what you share may include information about your health or wellbeing, we treat it as sensitive information and only ever collect it with your consent.

How We Use It

We use your information only to respond to your enquiry, arrange your discovery chat, and provide the sessions you ask for. We do not sell, rent, or trade your information, and we do not add you to any marketing list without your clear consent.

How It Is Handled and Stored

Your enquiry is saved to Marilynne's private Google Sheet, and Google sends a notification so nothing is missed. It is kept confidential and only accessed by Marilynne and, where needed, her practice support.

When you continue to the booking calendar, Google handles your appointment details under its own privacy terms.

Your Consent and Rights

By submitting the form and ticking the consent box, you consent to your information being used as described here. You can ask to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you at any time by emailing thejoyfulfreedomapproach@gmail.com, and we will respond promptly.

This website uses only the minimal cookies necessary for it to function.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. If you have any questions, please get in touch at thejoyfulfreedomapproach@gmail.com.
