Gday, I’m Jamie. When you visit this website or get in touch about garage door services, some information gets collected automatically or through forms. I take your privacy seriously and only collect what is needed to provide a proper service, respond to your enquiries, or improve how the site runs.
This content explains how your data is collected, used, and stored when you interact with me here at Garage Door Guys Perth.
Website Activity and Visitor Info
When you browse this site (https://perthgaragedoorrepairs.com.au), a few standard things happen in the background. Like most websites, your browser sends basic info such as your IP address and the type of device you are using. This helps with site performance, spam filtering, and security.
If you leave a comment on the site (like on a blog post), the form collects what you enter, your name, email, and message, plus your IP address and browser type. This helps with spam detection and makes sure comments are coming from real people.
Some services like Gravatar may use an anonymised version of your email to check if you use their system. If approved, your profile picture may appear alongside your comment.
Uploading Media
If you upload images to the site, keep in mind that photos can contain location data known as EXIF or GPS info. I recommend removing that data before uploading, as anyone visiting the site might be able to download the image and extract that information.
Cookies and Your Preferences
This website uses cookies, which are small files that remember your settings and login info for next time. If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website. These cookies will stay in your browser for up to a year so you do not have to fill in your details again.
Other cookies may help with things like logging in or editing a post. These cookies do not collect personal data and usually expire after a few days or weeks.
You can adjust or block cookies through your browser settings if you prefer.
Embedded Content
Some blog posts or pages might include videos, articles, or images from other websites like YouTube. If you view this content, those sites may collect data or track your interaction as if you were browsing their site directly. Their own privacy policies apply when that happens.
How Long Data Is Kept
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps the system recognise and approve any follow up comments without needing moderation again.
If you have an account, which most visitors do not, your information is stored in your user profile. You can update or delete it at any time, except for usernames.
Your Rights
If you have interacted with the site, for example by leaving a comment or submitting a contact form, you are welcome to ask for a copy of the personal data I have about you. You can also request that I delete that data unless there is a legal reason it needs to be kept such as security, compliance, or admin purposes.
Where Your Data Might Go
Comments may be run through automated spam detection tools to keep the site safe and running smoothly.
If you have any questions about privacy or how your data is handled, feel free to get in touch. I am always happy to explain how things work and help you feel confident using the site.
Thanks for visiting,
Jamie
