We do not intentionally collect sensitive information (e.g., health, political, religious, racial, or biometric data). Please do not provide us with such information unless strictly necessary.
We collect personal information in the following ways:
We will always collect personal information directly from you where practicable. Where we receive information from a third party (e.g., a referral), we will inform you of this at the earliest opportunity.
We collect personal information for the following primary purposes:
We may also use your contact information to send you occasional updates about our services, new offerings, or relevant information — but only with your consent. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by replying "unsubscribe" or contacting us directly.
We use your personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected, or for directly related purposes that you would reasonably expect. Specifically:
We will never use your information in a way that is deceptive, unfair, or contrary to the Australian Privacy Principles.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your information with trusted third parties only to the extent necessary to deliver our services:

All third-party service providers we use are required to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable privacy laws. We do not send your personal information overseas except where a cloud-based tool (e.g., Google Workspace) stores data on overseas servers — in which case we take reasonable steps to ensure adequate data protection is in place.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and provide analytics data.
Our website currently uses the following types of cookies:
You can control and/or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website. For more information on managing cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org.
Our website loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). This causes your browser to make a request to Google's servers, which may involve the transmission of your IP address. We do not control how Google processes this data. For Google's privacy practices, see Google's Privacy Policy.
We take the security of your personal information seriously. We implement the following measures to protect your data:
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we take all reasonable steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to cause you serious harm, we will notify you and, if required, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law:
After the relevant retention period, personal information is securely destroyed or permanently de-identified.
Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at jcwebsiteagency@gmail.com. We will respond to all requests within 30 days. In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
We will not charge a fee for processing access or correction requests unless the request is clearly excessive or repetitive.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., social media profiles, partner tools). These sites have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. JC Websites is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party websites. Clicking on a link to a third-party site is done at your own risk.
Our services are intended for business owners and adults aged 18 years and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal obligations, or the services we offer. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our services after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
