Privacy policy.
Version 2.0
This policy sets out how Newstead Digital handles personal information collected through this website. In this policy, I, me and my means Newstead Digital, ABN 53 559 890 521.
There is no team, no call centre and no account manager. When you email me, I am the person who reads it, and nobody else does.
What I collect
When you email me: your name, your email address, and whatever you choose to include in the message. There is no form on this site, so nothing is collected until you write to me.
Through website analytics: pages visited, time on page, how you arrived at the site, approximate location based on your IP address at city level, and device and browser type.
I do not collect credit card or payment details through this website. I do not ask for your date of birth, address or any government identifier.
Why I collect it
To read and reply to your enquiry. To provide services you have asked me about or engaged me for. To keep ordinary business records, including quotes and invoices. To understand which pages of the site are useful, so I can improve it. And to meet legal or tax obligations where they apply.
I do not send marketing emails. If that ever changes, I will ask before adding you to anything, and every message will have an unsubscribe link.
Who else sees it
I do not sell personal information. I do not share it with data brokers or advertisers.
A small number of services necessarily handle it because they run the site. Vercel hosts this website. Google Analytics provides the website statistics described above. Google Workspace is where my email is held.
Some of these providers store data outside Australia. By emailing me you accept that your information may be handled overseas by those providers.
Beyond that, I would only disclose personal information if the law required it, or if I needed advice from an accountant or lawyer who is themselves bound to keep it confidential.
Cookies
This site uses Google Analytics, which sets cookies to count visits and understand how pages are used. Google Signals is switched on, so if you are signed in to a Google account, Google may combine your visit with its own account data to give me grouped reports on things like age range and interests; I never see who you are, and you can turn this off in your Google account’s ad settings. There are no tracking pixels for social media platforms. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. The site works either way.
How long I keep it
Enquiries are kept while there is a reasonable prospect of working together, and after that only as long as tax and business record rules require. If you ask me to delete your details and there is no legal reason to keep them, I will.
Keeping it secure
The site is served over HTTPS. There is no form and no database behind this website. Emails arrive in my inbox, where they stay. They are not published anywhere.
No transmission over the internet is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee the security of information sent to me online. What I can say is that I do not hold more than I need, and I do not pass it on.
Your rights
Access. Ask me what I hold about you and I will tell you, at no charge.
Correction. Tell me if something is wrong and I will fix it.
Deletion. Ask me to delete your details and I will, unless I am required to keep them.
Complaint. If you think I have mishandled your information, contact me first. If you are not satisfied with my response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
Links to other sites
This site links to other websites, including my clients’ sites. I have no control over them and this policy does not cover them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes I will publish the updated version here and raise the version number at the top.
