Privacy
Short version: I only collect what I need to build and discuss your website, and I don’t sell or share it.
Last updated: August 2026
What I collect
When you use the contact form I collect the details you type in — your name, business name, email address, phone number, suburb and the information you give me about your business. If you email me instead, I hold that message and your contact details.
This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies, and there is no third-party analytics script following you around.
There is one exception, and only on the private demo sites. If I’ve built a demo for your business and sent you the link, that page records that it was opened — the date and time, the country, and whether it was a phone or a computer. It doesn’t record your IP address, it doesn’t set a cookie, and it can’t identify you personally. It exists so I know whether the link I sent you was ever opened, rather than having to guess. The record is deleted automatically after six months, and once your site goes live on your own domain it stops entirely.
Why I collect it
To reply to you, to build and discuss your website, and to keep a record of the work I’ve done for you. That’s all.
Who else sees it
Only the services I use to run the business:
- Cloudflare — hosts this website and delivers it to your browser.
- Resend — delivers contact-form submissions to my inbox.
- Google — my email account.
- Stripe — processes card payments. Your card details go directly to Stripe; I never see or store them.
I don’t sell your information, and I don’t pass it to anyone for marketing.
Demo websites
I sometimes build a demonstration website for a business using information that is already public — typically a Google Business Profile, including publicly visible reviews. These demos are unsolicited examples, they aren’t claimed to be endorsed by the business, and I take one down straight away if the business asks. Just email me.
How long I keep it
Enquiries that don’t go anywhere are deleted once it’s clear nothing is happening. For customers, I keep project and billing records for as long as I need to for tax and support purposes.
Your choices
You can ask me at any time to tell you what I hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Email kenmelbournewebsites@gmail.com and I’ll sort it out.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS and form submissions are encrypted in transit. No system is perfect, but I keep the amount of information I hold to a minimum.
