International transfers

Some service providers we work with may be located overseas. Where personal information is transferred outside Australia we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place such as standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements, or another lawful mechanism.

Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

Typical retention periods: transactional records and tax-related documents — 7 years; marketing preferences — until you opt out; job site/service records — as required for warranty, incident or insurance purposes.

Security of information

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

These include access controls, encryption in transit, secure backups, regular patching and staff training.

    You can request access to the personal information we hold about you.

  • Correction

    If information is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request correction.

  • Deletion

    You can request deletion in certain circumstances (subject to legal exceptions).

  • Portability

    Where technically feasible, you can request a copy of your data in a portable format.

  • Objection & restriction

    You can object to or request restriction of processing, where applicable.

  • Withdraw consent

    If processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing prior to withdrawal.

Children

Our services are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without parental consent. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate consent, we will take steps to remove that information.
