Please provide only information you feel comfortable sharing through an online form.
Why we collect your information
We may use your information to:
- Respond to an enquiry.

- Arrange and prepare for a Private Executive Reset Call.
- Consider whether MindShiftWorks may be appropriate for your circumstances.

Providing personal information is generally voluntary. However, if required contact or booking information is not provided, we may be unable to arrange a conversation or provide the requested service.
Sensitive or personal information
Some people may choose to provide information about personal experiences, relationships, emotional patterns, health, alcohol or drug use, or other sensitive matters.
Please provide only what you consider necessary and feel comfortable sharing.
We use this information for the purpose for which it was provided, including preparing for a requested conversation, considering whether MindShiftWorks may be appropriate, or delivering an agreed service.
MindShiftWorks does not use assessment or booking responses to provide a clinical diagnosis.
Information provided by people in Australia
MindShiftWorks works with people in Australia and may collect personal information from Australian residents.
Where applicable, we handle personal information consistently with the Australian Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Privacy Principles and applicable state health-information requirements.
Information concerning physical or psychological health, emotional wellbeing, alcohol or drug use, or related experiences may be considered sensitive or health information under Australian law.
MindShiftWorks collects this information only when it is reasonably necessary for the requested conversation or service and when you have chosen or consented to provide it.
You are not required to provide detailed sensitive or health information through an online form. You may wait and discuss it directly with Paul during your conversation.
Who may receive your information
Your information may be accessible to Paul Heffernan and to service providers used to operate MindShiftWorks, where access is reasonably necessary.
These providers may include:
- Kajabi, which hosts the MindShiftWorks website, forms, assessments and email functions.
- Calendly, which manages appointment scheduling and booking information.
- Providers of email, video conferencing, payments, analytics, document storage and administration.
- Professional advisers where reasonably necessary.
- Government, regulatory or law-enforcement authorities when disclosure is required by law.
MindShiftWorks does not sell your personal information.
Storage and overseas service providers
MindShiftWorks is operated from New Zealand and uses online service providers that may store or process personal information in New Zealand, Australia, the United States and other countries in which those providers operate.
When information is processed outside the country in which it was collected, different privacy laws may apply.
MindShiftWorks takes reasonable steps when selecting and using service providers, protecting personal information and limiting access to people or providers who reasonably require it.
However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.
Marketing communications
We will send promotional or ongoing marketing emails only where you have provided consent or where otherwise permitted by law.
Booking a conversation or completing an assessment does not automatically require you to subscribe to marketing emails.
You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link provided in an email or by contacting MindShiftWorks.
Cookies and website information
The MindShiftWorks website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, understand how visitors use it and improve its performance.
Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Some website functions may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.
Retention and security
MindShiftWorks takes reasonable organisational and technical steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, legitimate business requirements and applicable legal obligations.
Information may then be deleted, anonymised or securely disposed of where reasonably practicable.
Accessing or correcting your information
You may ask for access to personal information MindShiftWorks holds about you. You may also ask for incorrect information to be corrected.
You may request deletion of information, although some information may need to be retained for legal, accounting, dispute-management or other lawful purposes.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
