Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. Who I Am

LocalWise Media is a sole-operated digital marketing consultancy run by Joas Alberton, based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. I am both the business owner and the only person who handles your data.

2. What Information I Collect

When you contact me through a form, Calendly, email, or phone, I may collect:

I do not collect payment card details. The $2,500 setup fee is invoiced separately via bank transfer or agreed payment method — not processed through the website.

3. How I Use Your Information

I use your data only to:

I do not sell, rent, or share your contact information with third parties for marketing purposes. I do not add you to mass email lists without consent.

4. Third-Party Services

I use the following services that process data on my behalf:

Each of these services has their own privacy policies and security practices. I choose providers with strong Australian / international data protection standards.

5. Cookies & Tracking

The landing page and form pages use minimal tracking. The “Lead Source” field captures which button or section you clicked to reach the form — this is passed through the URL and stored with your submission. I do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or analytics tracking beyond what is necessary to understand how visitors find the form.

6. Data Storage & Security

Form submissions are stored in my WordPress database and sent to my email. I keep records for as long as necessary to provide services and meet any legal obligations (typically 7 years for tax/accounting purposes in Australia). I take reasonable steps to secure this data — strong passwords, limited access (only me), and reputable hosting.

7. Your Rights

Under Australian privacy law, you have the right to:

8. Data Breaches

If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in serious harm, I will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

9. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available at this URL. If I make significant changes to how I handle data, I will notify affected clients directly.
