Privacy Policy
Wayward Vector is a business name of Leaky Finders Pty Ltd (ABN 15 643 730 723), based on Tamborine Mountain, Queensland. This policy explains what personal information I collect, why, and how I look after it. I follow the Australian Privacy Principles as good practice.
What I collect
When you use the contact form, email or call me, I collect what you choose to share:
- your name, email address and phone number
- the kind of project you're interested in, and the details you send about it
- during a job, any files, designs, data or access you provide so I can do the work
This website uses a tracking script from Yellow Pages (Thryv Australia), which I advertise with, to measure visits and how well my advertising works. It may set cookies and collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. It does not collect anything you type into the contact form. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Like every website, the hosting server keeps standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages visited) for security and troubleshooting.
How I use it
- to reply to your enquiry and prepare a quote
- to plan, build and deliver your project
- to send invoices and keep business records, including records required for tax
I won't sell your information, and I won't add you to a mailing list without asking.
Your ideas and project details
Inventors and businesses often share ideas that aren't public yet. I treat everything you send about your project as confidential, and I'm happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share details.
Who else sees it
Your information is only shared with services I need to run the business, such as my web and email hosting, and accounting software. Some of these providers store data on servers outside Australia, including in the United States. If a project needs a supplier or specialist, I'll only share what they need and I'll tell you first. I may also disclose information if the law requires it.
Keeping it safe
The website uses an encrypted (https) connection, and I keep project files and records on password-protected systems. Enquiries that don't go ahead are deleted after two years. Business and tax records are kept for as long as the law requires.
Accessing or correcting your information
You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information I hold about you at any time, unless I'm required to keep it by law.
Clients in the UK and European Union
If you contact me from the UK or the EU, the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you extra rights over your personal information. I use your details on the basis of taking steps at your request before a contract (replying to your enquiry and quoting), performing our contract once we work together, and meeting legal obligations such as tax records.
You can ask me to access, correct, delete or export your information, or object to how it's used, by emailing contact@waywardvector.com.au. Your information is stored with the providers described above, some of which are outside the UK and EU, including in Australia and the United States. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority, such as the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK.
Contact and complaints
Email contact@waywardvector.com.au or call 0433 180 135. I'll respond within 30 days. If you're not happy with my response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
