Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Atkinson Slashing (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores and discloses personal information when you use our websites, contact us, or enquire about our services.

Our websites include www.atkinsonslashing.com.au and related pages such as meet.atkinsonslashing.com.au.

Who we are

Atkinson Slashing is an owner-operated paddock slashing and acreage maintenance business based in Wingham, NSW, Australia, serving Mid Coast NSW.

What personal information we collect

We only collect information that is reasonably necessary to respond to enquiries, provide services, and operate our websites. This may include:

  • Name
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Suburb, town or property location
  • Approximate property size and access notes
  • Message content you send us
  • Photos you upload (which may include location or other metadata embedded in the image file)
  • Technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and referral source (via analytics and security tools)

We do not knowingly collect sensitive information (such as health, political or biometric information) through our websites.

How we collect information

We collect personal information when you:

  • Submit an enquiry form on our main website
  • Submit a quote or booking form on a landing page (including meet.atkinsonslashing.com.au)
  • Call, text or email us
  • Interact with our websites (cookies, analytics and advertising tags)

Enquiry forms may use spam and bot protection (such as Cloudflare Turnstile), which can involve sharing limited technical data with that provider to verify that a submission is genuine.

Why we collect and use information

We use personal information to:

  • Respond to enquiries and discuss suitability, access, timing and hourly rates
  • Schedule and deliver slashing or mowing work
  • Contact you about your enquiry or job
  • Improve our websites and understand which pages and ads are effective
  • Protect our websites from spam, abuse and unauthorised activity
  • Comply with legal obligations where applicable

We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

Our websites use cookies and similar technologies to support basic site functions and to measure and improve performance. Depending on configuration, this may include:

  • Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics (site usage and conversion measurement)
  • Meta (Facebook/Instagram) pixel or related tags for advertising measurement and campaign optimisation
  • Ahrefs Web Analytics
  • First-party cookies that remember when you dismiss the privacy notice or site alerts

These tools may set cookies or collect device and browsing information. Third-party providers have their own privacy policies covering how they process data.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some site features.

Who we share information with

We may share personal information with service providers who help us run the business and websites, only as needed for those purposes. This can include:

  • Website hosting and email delivery providers
  • Form and website platform providers (including WordPress / Gravity Forms on the main site)
  • Cloudflare (security / bot protection)
  • Analytics and advertising platforms (such as Google and Meta)
  • Professional advisers or insurers if reasonably required

Some of these providers may store or process data outside Australia. Where that happens, we take reasonable steps to use reputable providers and appropriate contractual or platform controls.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect our rights, safety or property.

Storage and security

Enquiry details submitted through the main website may be stored in our website database and emailed to us. Landing-page enquiries are typically emailed to us. Photos you upload are used to assess the job and may be retained with your enquiry records.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

How long we keep information

We keep enquiry and job-related information for as long as reasonably needed to manage enquiries, complete work, handle follow-ups, and meet legal or insurance needs. We then delete or de-identify information when it is no longer required.

Access, correction and contact

If you would like to access or correct personal information we hold about you, or ask a question about this policy, contact us:

We will respond as promptly as practicable.

Children

Our websites and services are directed to adults arranging property maintenance. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of our websites after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
