Privacy Policy

ThroughLine Archive Studio

ThroughLine Archive Studio respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information carefully and responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains how ThroughLine Archive Studio collects, uses, stores, and discloses personal information when you use this website, make an enquiry, request a quote, or engage ThroughLine Archive Studio for services.

1. The information collected

ThroughLine Archive Studio may collect personal information such as:

  • your name

  • your email address

  • your phone number

  • your suburb, location, or delivery details

  • information you provide about your materials, project, timing, and service needs

  • correspondence you send through website forms, email, or other contact methods

  • file, folder, labelling, or delivery information relevant to your job

Where relevant to a service, ThroughLine Archive Studio may also handle personal information contained within the materials you provide, such as names, dates, letters, documents, recordings, photographs, or other family and personal records.

2. How information is collected

Personal information may be collected when you:

  • submit an enquiry through the website

  • email or contact ThroughLine Archive Studio directly

  • request an estimate or quote

  • provide materials for assessment, digitisation, transfer, or delivery

  • communicate during quoting, production, delivery, or return

Basic technical information may also be collected automatically through the website platform, such as website usage data, cookies, analytics, device information, or IP address data, depending on the tools active on the site.

3. Why information is collected

Personal information is collected so ThroughLine Archive Studio can:

  • respond to enquiries

  • assess whether a job is suitable

  • prepare estimates and formal quotes

  • communicate with you about your project

  • carry out digitisation, transfer, editing, organisation, delivery, and return services

  • manage invoicing, payments, and recordkeeping

  • improve website performance and service administration

4. How information may be disclosed

ThroughLine Archive Studio does not sell personal information.

Personal information may be shared where reasonably necessary with:

  • website, email, form, storage, payment, or file transfer providers

  • postage, courier, or delivery providers

  • professional advisers, service providers, or contractors assisting with business administration where appropriate

  • government, regulatory, or law enforcement bodies where required by law

Only the information reasonably needed for the relevant purpose will be disclosed.

5. Storage and security

ThroughLine Archive Studio takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.

Information may be stored in email systems, website platforms, cloud storage, file transfer services, invoicing systems, and local business records used to operate the service.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but reasonable steps are taken to protect the information held.

6. Client materials and embedded personal information

Because ThroughLine Archive Studio works with photographs, documents, albums, recordings, and legacy media, client materials may contain personal, family, or historical information.

That information is handled only for the purpose of assessment, quoting, production, delivery, return, and related administration.

Clients should only provide materials they are authorised to provide and should avoid including unnecessary sensitive information in website enquiries where possible.

7. Access and correction

You may request access to personal information held about you, and you may request that inaccurate information be corrected.

Requests can be made using the contact details below. ThroughLine Archive Studio may need to verify your identity before providing access or making corrections.

8. Cookies and website data

This website may use cookies, analytics, or similar tools provided by the website platform or connected services to understand traffic and improve website performance.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings.

9. Third-party services

This website and business operations may rely on third-party services such as website hosting, contact forms, analytics tools, payment systems, email providers, file transfer platforms, and cloud storage providers.

Those third parties may handle information in accordance with their own terms and privacy practices.

10. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, services, business operations, or legal requirements.

The current version will always be published on this website.
