Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://alconbuilding.com.au.

TLDR – Like most legitimate medium sized businesses, we don’t like spam. We also don’t like personal information being sold off to third party companies. We protect your data like our own.

Like other similar businesses we may from time to time run Google marketing campaigns. When coming on to our site, a small tracking cookie may be installed to let Google know about your behaviour on our website. If you do not wish for this to happen, please opt to block cookies from our site by using a browser plugin, manual configuration, a block cookies button (if available) or alternative web browser such as DuckDuckGo.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Quotations and Purchases

When requesting a quotation from our site, we request some personal details. This is to primarily work out quotation estimates for installation or delivery of goods and services. Your shipping details may be shared with Subcontractors, Suppliers, Australia Post or other Courier companies as necessary.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment or request a quote on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
