Privacy and collection notice
Last updated 14 September 2026
Foundry Health Pty Ltd (Foundry Health, we, us) convenes The Network. This notice explains what personal information we collect when you express interest in joining, or make a client enquiry, through network.foundry.health, why we collect it and how we handle it. It is provided under the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Who we are
Foundry Health Pty Ltd, Sydney, Australia. For anything in this notice, email network@foundry.health.
What we collect
When you express interest in joining The Network:
- Your name and email address
- Your current or most recent role, and your organisation if you give it
- Your primary setting, and your country and region
- A LinkedIn or CV link, if you give one
- How you would like to take part, and anything else you choose to tell us
When you make a client enquiry: your name, organisation and email address, and what you tell us about your question.
When you visit the page: we use Plausible Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without storing your IP address or any identifier that could single you out. The Microsoft form you complete may set cookies of its own, described in Microsoft's privacy statement.
We do not ask for health information about you. If you volunteer sensitive information in a free-text field, we handle it under this notice and delete it where it is not needed.
How we collect it
Directly from you, through a Microsoft form. The page itself stores nothing you type. We do not scrape LinkedIn or any other site. Where you give us a link, we read what is publicly visible at that link to check what you have told us. CVs and profiles are read only by the people who verify members.
Why we collect it
- To assess and respond to your expression of interest, and to form the first cohort
- To verify your roles and registration, with your knowledge
- To contact you about the community, its launch and the ways you have said you would like to take part
- To respond to client enquiries and scope the work
- To understand how the page is used, in aggregate
No law requires you to give us this information. If you do not provide the details marked as required on the form, we cannot consider your expression of interest or respond to your enquiry.
Who we share it with
- Microsoft, which hosts our forms, mail and files (Microsoft 365) and processes data on our behalf
- Clients: nothing about you is visible to a client until you accept a specific request, and members are never named to a client without opting in
- Anyone the law requires us to disclose it to
We do not sell personal information and we do not use it for advertising.
Overseas disclosure
Our Microsoft 365 tenancy is hosted in Australia. Microsoft may process support and diagnostic data in other countries, including the United States, under its own safeguards. If you are outside Australia, we handle your information under this notice and any local law that applies to you, including the UK GDPR where it applies.
How long we keep it
We keep expressions of interest while The Network is forming and for as long as you remain a member. Client enquiries that do not lead to work are deleted after 24 months. If you ask us to delete your profile, we do so within 30 days, except where we must keep a record for legal or accounting reasons, such as records of payments made to you.
Security
Your information is held in Microsoft 365 with access limited to the Foundry Health people who need it, protected by multi-factor authentication. If a breach is likely to cause you serious harm, we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme requires.
Access, correction and deletion
You can ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your profile at any time by emailing network@foundry.health. We respond within 30 days.
Complaints
If you think we have mishandled your information, email network@foundry.health and we will investigate and reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au. If you are in the United Kingdom, you can contact the Information Commissioner's Office.
Changes to this notice
We will update this notice as The Network develops, including before any paid contributions begin, and record the date of the latest version above.
