Who is responsible
Sam Moran is responsible for the personal information handled through www.sammoran.phd. The website is operated from Sydney, Australia.
Privacy enquiries and requests can be sent to hello@childsplay.media.
This policy applies to this website and direct enquiries arising from it. External websites, including linked social networks, apply their own privacy policies.
Information handled
Information you provide
This website does not currently contain a contact form or account system. If you choose to send an email, the information handled may include your name, email address, organisation, the content of your message and any information you choose to include.
Providing information by email is voluntary. If you do not provide a reply address or enough information to understand the enquiry, it may not be possible to respond. Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for the enquiry.
Technical information
Like most hosted websites, the hosting service may process technical request and security information such as an IP address, request time, requested page, browser or device details, referring page and diagnostic information. This is used to deliver, secure and troubleshoot the website.
Privacy choices
The site stores your privacy preference and the time it was saved in your browser's local storage. This record stays on your device and does not itself identify you to Sam Moran.
Purposes and legal bases
| Activity | Purpose | GDPR legal basis, where applicable |
|---|---|---|
| Site delivery and security | Provide pages, prevent abuse, diagnose faults and maintain service integrity. | Legitimate interests in operating a secure, reliable website. |
| Responding to enquiries | Reply to speaking, research, media, advisory or privacy enquiries. | Legitimate interests; or steps requested before entering a contract where relevant. |
| Optional technologies | Analytics or marketing measurement if a service is introduced and you choose to allow it. | Consent. Optional technologies remain blocked unless and until consent is given. |

The site does not use personal information for solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
How long information is kept
Enquiry records are kept only while reasonably needed to respond, manage the resulting professional relationship, meet legal or accounting duties, or handle disputes. Information that is no longer required is deleted or de-identified where reasonably practicable.
Hosting and security records are retained for the period configured or reasonably required for service security, diagnostics and legal obligations. Your privacy-preference record remains in your browser until you remove it or the consent version changes.
Your privacy rights
Depending on the law that applies, you may ask to access, correct or delete personal information; restrict or object to processing; receive portable data; or withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
Requests can be sent to the privacy contact below. Identity may need to be verified before a request is completed. Rights can be subject to legal limits and exemptions.
If you are in the European Economic Area, you may lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in the country where you live, work or believe an infringement occurred. People in Australia may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Children
The site is a professional and academic profile and is not directed to children. It does not knowingly collect children's personal information through the website.
Contact and complaints
Email hello@childsplay.media with the subject “Privacy request for sammoran.phd”. Please describe the request or concern and the response you are seeking.
Privacy complaints will be reviewed and answered within a reasonable period. If the response does not resolve your concern, you may contact the relevant supervisory authority, including the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner in Australia or an EEA data protection authority.
Policy changes
This policy will be updated when the site's information-handling practices change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. A fresh consent choice will be requested if a change materially affects optional technologies or consent.
