Privacy Policy

How we handle your personal information

Central Coast Asbestos Removals (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates centralcoastasbestosremovals.com.au. We take the security of your personal information seriously, and this policy sets out plainly how we collect it, how we protect it, and what we do with it.

We handle all personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

Who We Are

Central Coast Asbestos Removals is an asbestos removal service for the Central Coast, NSW. We own and operate this website, and we manage every enquiry that comes through it securely from the moment you press submit.

We use the details you send to quote, schedule and carry out SafeWork NSW licensed asbestos work on your property. Quotes are free, and there is no fee for sending an enquiry.

Your enquiry stays with our team. We do not distribute your details to multiple contractors, we do not sell them, and we do not add you to any marketing list.

What We Collect

Through our contact form:

• Your name
• Your phone number
• Your suburb
• Your email address (optional)
• The service you are enquiring about
• Any job details you choose to provide

When you telephone us:

• Your phone number and any details you provide during the call

Automatically when you visit the site:

• IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring website

Why We Collect It

• To contact you, visit the property and provide a quote
• To follow up on the status of your enquiry
• To answer questions you send us
• To understand how our website is used and improve it

Who We Share It With

Our team. Your name, phone number, suburb and job details are used by the people quoting and doing your job, so we can contact you, visit the site and give you a price. That’s the reason the form exists. We do not pass your details to other contractors.

Our service providers. We use a small number of established providers to run the site and handle enquiries securely:

• Formspree provides encrypted contact form processing (United States)
• Google Search Console and website analytics (United States)
• Our email provider

That’s the complete list. We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with marketing lists, data brokers, or anyone outside what is described here.

Where Your Information Is Processed

While you complete a quote form, a draft is saved in your current browser tab so you can browse our services and return without retyping your details. It expires after two hours of inactivity and is removed after a successful submission or when the tab is closed. The draft is not sent to us until you submit the form. Your browser may also offer saved contact details through its own autofill settings.

Our contact form is handled by Formspree, an established form processor based in the United States, and our analytics providers are also US-based. This means your enquiry is transmitted to and processed in the United States over an encrypted connection.

By submitting the form you consent to this. These providers are not subject to the Australian Privacy Act, and while we use reputable services, we cannot guarantee the protections they apply.

Before deciding whether to send an enquiry, you can review Formspree’s privacy policy. Only include the details needed to explain your job. For questions about our handling of your enquiry, use our contact form.

How We Protect Your Information

Your enquiry is transmitted over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and processed by an established form provider. Access to enquiry records is limited to the people who need it to service your job, namely our team.

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. No system connected to the internet is completely secure, and we don’t pretend otherwise, but we treat your details the way we’d want ours treated.

Telephone Calls

We do not currently record incoming telephone calls.

If we introduce call recording in future, we will tell you at the start of the call and ask for your consent before any recording begins. If you do not consent, you will be able to continue the call without being recorded. This policy will be updated before any recording begins.

Follow-Up Messages

If you submit an enquiry, we may send you a follow-up SMS or email about that enquiry, for example, to check you were looked after. Every message will identify us and include a simple way to opt out. Reply STOP to any SMS and we will not contact you again.

How Long We Keep It

We keep enquiry records for as long as necessary to service the enquiry and meet our record-keeping obligations, and generally no longer than seven years. You can ask us to delete your information earlier.

Cookies
