About this Policy
This privacy policy explains how your data is handled by Jonathan Bird Web Development. If anything is unclear, please feel free to contact via the form.
Our Principles
Jonathan Bird Web Development adheres to the 13 Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act).
As an Australian based business, I am bound by the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in the Privacy Act, which regulate how organisations may collect, use, disclose and store personal information, and how individuals may access and correct personal information held about them.
In this privacy policy, 'personal information' has the same meaning as defined by section 6 of the Privacy Act: information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.
Collection
I collect your personal information so that I can provide you with the products, services or information that I supply. Sometimes I collect personal information from a third party or from a publicly available source, but only if you have consented to your information being used in this way, or would reasonably expect me to collect it in this way.
