Privacy Policy
Disclaimer
This Privacy Policy is provided for general information purposes only and is intended as a guide to how WB Built Pty Ltd handles personal information through this website and its business activities. It does not constitute legal advice. While we take reasonable care in preparing and updating this policy, privacy obligations may vary depending on the nature of services, data collected, and changes to applicable laws or third-party platforms. You should obtain independent legal advice to confirm that this policy is appropriate for your specific circumstances.

The OAIC guidance on APP 1 emphasises that entities should explain how personal information will be handled before it is collected, and Wix also notes that a privacy policy should disclose how a website collects, uses, discloses and manages visitor data.
5. Cookies, analytics and website technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support core site functionality, understand website traffic, and improve user experience. These technologies may collect information such as browser type, pages visited, referral source, approximate location, and time spent on the site.
Because our website is hosted on Wix, certain cookies and website technologies may be used by Wix and tools integrated with Wix. Wix states that site owners can use its Privacy Center and cookie banner tools to allow visitors to accept or decline non-essential cookies, and analytics tracking may depend on visitor consent.
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. If a cookie banner or consent tool is enabled on our website, you may also be able to manage your preferences there.
6. Disclosure of personal information
We may disclose personal information to trusted third parties where reasonably necessary for our business operations, including:
-
website hosting and website service providers
-
IT support providers
-
analytics providers
-
email and communications providers
-
professional advisers, such as accountants, lawyers, or consultants
-
contractors, consultants, or project stakeholders where relevant to your enquiry or project
-
government, regulatory, or law enforcement bodies where required or authorised by law.
We do not sell personal information.
7. Overseas disclosure
Some of our service providers, including website, cloud, communications, analytics, or software providers, may store or process personal information outside Australia. If this occurs, we take reasonable steps to work with reputable providers and manage personal information in a way consistent with applicable privacy obligations.
This is especially relevant where businesses use website platforms and third-party services with global infrastructure. The OAIC’s APP framework addresses transparency around how information is managed and disclosed, including where third parties may be involved.
8. Storage and security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Measures may include secure platforms, password protection, access controls, and limiting access to those who need information for legitimate business purposes.
However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. While we take reasonable steps to safeguard personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Access and correction
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and you may ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.
Australia’s privacy framework includes rights around access and correction of personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
To make a request, please contact us using the details in this policy.
10. Complaints
If you have a question or complaint about how we handle your personal information, please contact us first and provide as much detail as possible. We will review your concern and respond within a reasonable time.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may be able to contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
The OAIC is the Australian regulator responsible for privacy guidance and the Australian Privacy Principles.
11. Third-party links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, such as Instagram or external platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.
12. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, business practices, services, or legal requirements. The latest version will be published on our website with the revised effective date
.
