Privacy Policy

Who this policy covers

This policy explains how PaceDev (“I”, “me”, “PaceDev”) handles personal information collected through pacedev.au. PaceDev is based in Australia and handles personal information with the Australian Privacy Principles in mind.

Information I collect

You can browse the site without giving me any personal information. I collect it only in these ways:

• Enquiry form: your name, email address and message, plus your company, budget range and timing if you choose to add them.
• Usage information: the site’s hosting platform records basic technical and usage details such as pages visited, browser and device type, and approximate location derived from your IP address.
• Preferences: your light or dark theme choice is stored in your own browser.

Please don’t include sensitive information, such as health or financial details, in an enquiry.

How I use it

• To read and respond to your enquiry and discuss your project.
• To understand how the site is used so I can improve it.
• To keep the site secure and prevent spam or misuse.

I don’t sell your personal information, and I don’t use enquiry details for marketing unless you ask to hear from me.

Who it is shared with

Enquiries are stored privately and can only be read by PaceDev. I share personal information only with service providers that help run the site, and only as needed for them to do so:

• Base44, the platform that hosts the site and stores enquiries.
• Google Fonts, which delivers the site’s typefaces and receives your IP address when the fonts load.

These providers may store or process information outside Australia. I may also disclose information where the law requires it.

Storage and security

Enquiry records are access-restricted, and I take reasonable steps to protect the information I hold. No website can guarantee complete security, so please share only what’s needed to discuss your project.

I keep enquiries for as long as needed to respond and to keep a record of our dealings, then delete them.

Access, correction and deletion

You can ask to see the personal information I hold about you, have it corrected, or have it deleted. Send a request through the contact page and I’ll respond within a reasonable time.

Links to other sites

Project pages link to live websites and products run by other people and businesses. Their privacy practices are their own, and this policy doesn’t cover them.

Questions and complaints

If you have a question or a concern about how your information has been handled, contact me through the contact page first so I can try to resolve it. If you’re not satisfied with the response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always on this page, with the date it was last updated shown at the top.
