BarberRise ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have. We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Information we collect
While BarberRise is pre-launch, we collect only what you choose to give us through our forms:
- Waitlist: your email address.
- Early access sign-up: your name, email address, phone number, whether you are a barber or a barbershop, and which free resources you request.
- Starter kit downloads: your email address and which kit you requested.
- Educator applications: your name, email, phone, location, experience, area of expertise, social handle and a short bio.
We also collect limited technical and usage data (such as pages visited and approximate region) through privacy-respecting analytics, to understand how the site is used.
How we use your information
- To add you to our waitlist and tell you when we launch.
- To send you the resources you request.
- To respond to your enquiry or application.
- To improve the site and our service.
We will only use your information for the purpose you gave it, or a directly related purpose you would reasonably expect. We do not sell your personal information.
Who we share it with
We share personal information with trusted service providers who help us operate, only as needed to deliver the service:
- Resend for sending and managing email.
- Vercel for website hosting and analytics.
Some of these providers may store or process data outside Australia, including in the United States. Where that happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled consistently with the APPs.
Storing and protecting your information
We use industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit, and we limit access to your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access.
How long we keep it
We keep your information for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, including to keep you informed through launch. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- access the personal information we hold about you;
- correct it if it is inaccurate;
- delete it, or unsubscribe from our emails at any time.
To make a request, email us at hello@barberrise.com.au. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your information, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

We use privacy-respecting analytics to measure site usage. We do not use advertising trackers. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
