Townsville Asbestos Pros Privacy Policy

How we handle your enquiry details

Townsville Asbestos Pros (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates https://townsvilleasbestospro.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

Townsville Asbestos Pros is a Townsville-based asbestos removal service. We own and operate this website, and we manage every enquiry that comes through it securely from the moment you press submit.

All removal work is carried out by Class A and Class B licensed removalists. We work with a single removalist partner across Townsville and North Queensland. They hold the licences and the insurance, and the work is carried out under their own entity. Your quote, contract and invoice for the work are with them.

We are paid by our partner removalist. You are never charged a fee by Townsville Asbestos Pros.

Your enquiry goes to one operator and one operator only. 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 arrange for our partner removalist to contact you 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 partner removalist. Your name, phone number, suburb and job details go to our partner removalist so they can contact you and arrange a quote. That’s the reason the form exists. One operator, exclusively. No distribution to multiple contractors.

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

• Formspree, 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

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.

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 us and our partner removalist.

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.

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
