Privacy notice for partners

Reply to any email from us with STOP, or email [email protected]. We stop contacting you, add your address to our do-not-contact list so it cannot be re-added by our tools, and delete the rest.

• Published business contact details — the trading name, category, address, website, phone and the general or role email address your business itself has published. We do not collect addresses that look personal, and we do not buy lists or use harvesting tools.
• Australian Business Register data — legal name, ABN and GST status, looked up from the public register.
• Our correspondence — the emails between us, and if you join, the details you confirm on the set-up form and your acceptance of the partner terms (name, role, email, time, and the device details a browser sends).

To introduce the programme to nearby independent businesses, to answer your questions, and — if you join — to set up and run your listing, send guests to you, and keep a record of what was agreed.

• If you do not reply, or say no: 90 days after our last message, then it is deleted from our systems and our mailbox.
• If you ask us to stop: deleted straight away, except the do-not-contact entry.
• If you join: for as long as the partnership runs, then 90 days after it ends. The record of accepted terms is kept longer, with your personal details removed from it.

Nobody, beyond the services that run this programme for us: our email delivery gateway, our hosting provider, and the AI drafting vendor that helps write our first emails (it sees the business details, not your replies beyond what is needed to draft an answer). We do not sell or share your details with anyone else. Some of these providers store data outside Australia; the list of providers says which.

Email [email protected] from the business address we contacted. We reply within 30 days with what we hold, and correct or delete it on request. If you are not happy with how we handled it, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
