This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you use our website or engage our services.
What Personal Data We Collect
When you submit a quote request through our website, we collect the following personal information:
Name — so we can address you personally when responding to your enquiry.
Phone number — so we can call or text you with a quote (typically within 1 hour during business hours).
Email address — so we can send your pest control certificate, booking confirmation, or follow-up information.
Suburb — so we know your service area and can confirm pricing and travel.
Property type and description — so we can provide an accurate, fixed-price quote.
We do not collect financial or payment information through our website. All payments are handled via invoice after service completion.
We also collect technical information automatically when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited. This helps us improve our website performance and security.
How We Use Your Data

Booking your pest control service — scheduling, confirming, and coordinating with you on the day.
Issuing your pest control certificate — emailed to you and/or your property manager upon completion.
Customer service follow-up — checking that you are satisfied with the treatment and addressing any concerns.
Warranty support — if pests return within our 6-month warranty period, we use your details to arrange a complimentary re-treatment.
Internal record keeping — maintaining accurate service history for our licensing and insurance requirements.
We do not use your personal data for marketing purposes unless you explicitly opt in. We do not sell or rent your data to any third party.

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected:
Quote enquiries — retained for 12 months so we can reference your original request if you book at a later date.
Completed service records — retained for 7 years in accordance with QBCC licensing and Australian tax record-keeping requirements.
After the retention period expires, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised.
You may request early deletion of your data at any time by contacting us (see details below).
