Your True North
The Somatic Living Compass™:  Recalibrate for Systemic Sovereignty

Data Governance & Sovereignty

Your True North is committed to the highest standards of data integrity and confidentiality.  This policy is architected to meet all obligations under the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) as set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and subsequent amendments.  The principles of systemic discretion and professional governance applied to previous large-scale enterprise integrations are the foundational standards for all client data managed by Your True North.

The four pillars

Privacy and data governance.

Data governance at Your True North is architected around four pillars of sovereignty, which encompass the 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Pillar 1: Transparency &
Choice

(APPs 1, 2, 12 & 13)

Management of personal information is open and transparent.  This includes the right to interact anonymously where practicable, and the ability for individuals to access, correct, or update their own records.

Pillar 2:
Collection &
Purpose

(APPs 3, 4, 5, 6 & 9)

Collection is limited to personal and sensitive information essential for The Somatic Living Compass™ methodology.  This includes physiological and nervous system patterns, collected only with express consent. Government-related identifiers are not used.

Pillar 3:
Governance &
Security

(APPs 10 & 11)

Active measures protect data from misuse, interference, or loss.  Information is securely de-identified or destroyed once it is no longer required for business or legal purposes.

Pillar 4:
International
Integrity

(APPs 7 & 8)

Information is not disclosed to third parties for marketing purposes.  Where digital infrastructure is hosted overseas (e.g., Stripe), compliance with Australian cross-border disclosure standards is maintained.

Detailed Privacy Disclosure & Compliance

A comprehensive overview of how personal and sensitive information is managed under Australian law.

The following disclosure details the functional application of the 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) as they relate to the four pillars of sovereignty outlined above.

1. Open and Transparent Management

Personal information is managed in an open and transparent manner.  This protocol is the foundation of all client engagements, ensuring that individuals remain the ultimate owners of their own data.

2. Collection of personal and sensitive information

Only information reasonably necessary for The Somatic Living Compass™ methodology is collected.

  • Personal Information:  Name, contact details, and billing information.

  • Sensitive Information:  As part of the somatic methodology, data regarding physiological responses and nervous system patterns may be collected.  This is done only with express consent.

3. Use and disclosure

Information is used strictly for the primary purpose for which it was collected.  Personal or business data is not disclosed to third parties for marketing purposes.  Disclosure only occurs if required by law or to mitigate a serious threat to life or safety.

4. Direct Marketing

Communications via direct marketing (such as newsletters) are only sent to individuals who have explicitly opted-in.  Opting-out is possible at any time.

5. Cross-Border disclosure

While Australian-based storage is prioritised, some digital infrastructure (such as payment or newsletter platforms) may host data overseas.  Only providers with robust security protocols that satisfy APP 8 are utilised.

6. Government related identifiers

Government-related identifiers (such as TFNs) are not used or adopted for internal record-keeping.

7. Data quality and security

Active steps are taken to ensure all data is accurate and protected from misuse, loss, or unauthorised access.  Digital notes are stored in encrypted environments and are de-identified or destroyed once no longer required for business or legal purposes.

8. Access and correction

Individuals have a right to access the personal and somatic information held about them.  Requests for access or correction will be addressed within 30 days.

9. Complaints and contact

Enquiries or concerns regarding data management should be directed to Ana Angelique via the contact page.  If a concern cannot be resolved internally, individuals may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
