Privacy Policy

Our website address is: https://tonystephensrefrigeration.com.au.

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.

If you upload images to our website, please ensure that the images do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images hosted on the site.

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you do not need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set several cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Our website may use tracking pixels or similar technologies (such as Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, etc.) to monitor interactions with the site, gather data about user behaviour, and improve our services. These pixels collect information such as page views, actions taken on the site, and other behavioural data to analyse trends, measure ad performance, and optimise your experience. This data helps us tailor the website to meet your needs and improve our marketing efforts.

Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

By using our website, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about how we handle your data, please feel free to contact us.
