Our Privacy Officer is responsible for handling access requests, correction requests, opt-out requests and complaints. Write to privacy@itcc.co and mark your message "Attention: Privacy Officer".

  • Payment processors, who confirm transaction status without giving us full card numbers.

Sensitive information

We do not seek sensitive information as defined by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), such as health information, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or criminal record. Please do not send us sensitive information unless we have specifically asked for it.


4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies We Use

We use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage and similar technologies. Our cookie consent banner is provided by Cookie Script, which records your consent choices and controls which non-essential technologies load.

The following technologies are currently in use on itcc.co:

Technology Provider Category Purpose Provider privacy information
Google Analytics 4 Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd Analytics Measures how visitors find and use our website, which pages perform, and which channels drive enquiries. Sets _ga and _ga_* cookies. policies.google.com/privacy
Brevo Brevo SAS (France) Email marketing and marketing automation Sends and tracks our newsletters and client communications, records opens and clicks, and manages subscription lists. May set an identifier to link website activity to a subscriber record. brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy
Cookie Script Cookie Script Consent management Displays the cookie banner and stores your consent preferences so we can honour them on return visits. cookie-script.com/privacy-policy

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 with IP address handling as configured by Google. Google may process this data in the United States and other countries. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, or by declining Analytics cookies in our cookie banner.

Brevo. Brevo processes data within the European Union. Every marketing email we send includes a one-click unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops marketing email but does not stop service or account emails relating to work we are delivering for you.

How to control cookies

  • Our banner: click the cookie preferences link in the website footer at any time to change or withdraw your consent;
  • Your browser: most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of our site working; and
  • Global Privacy Control: see Section 6.4 below.

5. Why We Use Your Personal Information

We use personal information to:

  • Respond to your enquiries and provide quotes;
  • Deliver, manage and support the services you engage us for;
  • Administer accounts, issue invoices and process payments;
  • Send marketing communications where you have opted in, in line with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth);
  • Measure and improve website performance and user experience;
  • Understand which marketing channels are effective for our own business;
  • Recruit and assess job applicants;
  • Meet legal, tax, accounting and regulatory obligations; and
  • Detect, investigate and prevent fraud, misuse and security incidents.

Where the GDPR applies, our lawful bases are consent (marketing and non-essential cookies), contract (delivering services you have engaged us for), legal obligation (tax and record keeping) and legitimate interests (site security, service improvement, business-to-business communications).


6. Your Choices and How to Opt Out

You can exercise any of the following at any time, free of charge.

6.1 Opt out of marketing email

Click the unsubscribe link at the foot of any marketing email, or email privacy@itcc.co with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line. We action these within 5 business days.

6.2 Opt out of analytics and tracking

Decline the relevant categories in our cookie banner, or use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

6.3 Opt out of targeted advertising

Adjust your Google ad settings at myadcenter.google.com, and use the industry opt-out tools at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.com.au.

6.4 Global Privacy Control (GPC)

We recognise and honour the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser or a browser extension sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid instruction to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and to disable non-essential advertising and analytics technologies for that browser. Because GPC is a browser-level signal, it applies to the specific browser and device that sends it. You can learn more at globalprivacycontrol.org.

6.5 Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

ITCC does not sell your personal information for money, and we have not done so in the preceding 12 months.

We do use third-party analytics and advertising technologies which, under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended, may be treated as "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

To opt out of this sharing, use any of these methods:

  • Decline Analytics and Advertising categories in our cookie banner at the footer of any page;
  • Send a GPC signal from your browser as described in Section 6.4; or
  • Email privacy@itcc.co with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information".

We will not discriminate against you for exercising this right. You will receive the same service, price and quality.


7. Who We Disclose Information To

We disclose personal information to:

  • Service providers who host our website, send our email, process payments, provide analytics, or supply IT support, under contracts requiring them to protect the information and use it only for the purpose we specify;
  • Advertising and analytics platforms, as listed in Section 4;
  • Professional advisers including accountants, auditors and lawyers;
  • Purchasers, if our business or assets are sold or restructured; and
  • Government agencies, regulators, courts or law enforcement, where required or authorised by law.

We do not sell your personal information.

Overseas disclosure

Some of our providers are located outside Australia. Google processes data in the United States and other countries. Brevo processes data in the European Union. Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient handles it in a way consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles, including through contractual protections such as Standard Contractual Clauses.


8. How Long We Keep Information

Information type Retention period
Website enquiry and quote requests24 months from last contact
Client records and project files7 years after the engagement ends, to meet tax and record-keeping obligations
Marketing subscriber recordsUntil you unsubscribe, plus a suppression record kept indefinitely so we do not contact you again
Analytics dataAs configured in Google Analytics 4, currently 14 months
Unsuccessful job applications12 months, unless you ask us to keep your details longer
Server and security logs12 months

We destroy or de-identify personal information when it is no longer needed for any purpose permitted by law.


9. How We Protect Information

We use TLS encryption in transit, access controls limiting client data to team members who need it, multi-factor authentication on business systems, staff confidentiality obligations, and regular review of third-party access.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in serious harm, we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required by the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.


10. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are directed at businesses and are not intended for children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly market to children, and we do not use tracking technologies to build profiles of children.

If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact privacy@itcc.co immediately. On verification we will delete that information from our records and instruct our processors to do the same.

Where a young person aged 15 or over engages with us directly, such as through a job application, we will assess on a case-by-case basis whether they have the capacity to give consent, consistent with guidance from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.


11. Your Privacy Rights

Subject to law, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you;
  • Correct information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete or misleading;
  • Request deletion of your personal information where we no longer have a lawful reason to keep it;
  • Withdraw consent at any time, including for marketing and non-essential cookies;
  • Opt out of marketing, analytics, targeted advertising, and the sharing of your information, as described in Section 6;
  • Object to or restrict certain processing;
  • Request portability, receiving your information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format;
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights; and
  • Complain to us and to a regulator, as described in Section 14.

How to make a request. Email privacy@itcc.co or write to the postal address in Section 2. Tell us which right you are exercising and give us enough detail to locate your records. We will verify your identity before acting, usually by confirming details we already hold. We respond within 30 days and do not charge a fee for reasonable requests. If we refuse a request, we will tell you why in writing and explain how to complain.

An authorised agent may make a request on your behalf if they provide written authorisation signed by you.


12. Additional Rights by Region

European Economic Area and United Kingdom

You have the rights set out in Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and the right not to be subject to solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. You may lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority or, in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

California

Under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose and share; to delete it; to correct it; to opt out of sale or sharing; to limit use of sensitive personal information; and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights. See Section 6.5 for the opt-out. In the preceding 12 months we have collected identifiers, internet activity information, commercial information and professional information, as described in Section 3, for the purposes described in Section 5.


13. Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects about you.

We do use automated tools to segment marketing audiences, score enquiry quality and personalise website content. These do not determine access to services, pricing or credit. You can ask us to review any automated outcome by emailing privacy@itcc.co.


14. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal information, email privacy@itcc.co with "Privacy Complaint" in the subject line. We will acknowledge within 5 business days, investigate, and give you a written response within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC):


15. Third-Party Links

Our website links to third-party sites and platforms we do not control. This policy does not apply to them. Review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

Third parties may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to collect or receive information from our website and elsewhere on the internet, and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads.


16. Changes to This Policy

We review this policy at least annually. When we change it, we update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. If a change materially affects how we handle your personal information, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our website before it takes effect.

Previous versions are available on request from privacy@itcc.co.
