Ezicon Painting & Decorating (ABN details to be confirmed, “we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under the _Privacy Act 1988_ (Cth) and the _Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024_ (Cth).

By using ezicon.com.au or contacting us, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

What personal information do we collect?

We collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to provide our services and respond to enquiries. This may include:

  • Contact details: name, phone number, email address and property address provided through our quote form, contact form or by phone.
  • Project details: information about your painting or decorating job, including property type, scope of work and any photos you send us.
  • Communications: records of phone calls, emails or messages you send to us.
  • Website usage data: IP address, browser type, pages visited and time on site, collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools (see the cookies section below).

We do not collect sensitive information (such as health, financial or government identifier information) unless you choose to provide it and it is directly relevant to your enquiry.

How do we use your personal information?

We use your personal information to:

  • respond to your quote enquiry or service request;
  • prepare and send a written quote;
  • schedule and carry out painting and decorating work;
  • communicate with you about your project, including updates and follow-ups;
  • comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including QBCC licensing requirements; and
  • improve our website and services.

We will not use your personal information for direct marketing without your consent. If you have agreed to receive updates from us and want to stop, contact us at any time and we will remove you promptly.

Disclosure of personal information

We do not sell or trade your personal information. We may share it with:

  • Subcontractors and trade staff involved in completing your job, to the extent necessary for that purpose.
  • Software and cloud service providers we use to run our business (for example, quoting or scheduling software), who are bound by confidentiality obligations.
  • Regulatory bodies where required by law, including the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC).

Where personal information is disclosed to third parties, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled consistently with this policy.

Storage and security

Your personal information is stored on secure systems. We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect it against misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. However, no transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information you send to us electronically.

We retain your personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law.

Cookies and analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to help us understand how visitors use the site. This includes tools such as Google Analytics, which may collect information such as your IP address, browser type and pages visited. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality of the site.

Automated decision-making

In compliance with the _Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024_ (Cth), we provide the following disclosure.

We do not currently use fully automated systems to make decisions that have a legal or similarly significant effect on individuals. Enquiries and quotes are assessed by a real person. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy to describe the automated process, the data used, and how you can seek a human review of any decision.

Access and correction

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable time and at no charge in most circumstances.

In some situations, we may be unable to provide access (for example, where it would affect the privacy of another individual or for legal reasons). We will explain any refusal in writing.

Complaints

If you believe we have handled your personal information in a way that breaches the _Privacy Act 1988_ (Cth), please contact us first. We will investigate and respond within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC):
