Website Policies for Australian Businesses

If your site has a contact form, an email sign up, or something like Google Analytics running quietly in the background, you're likely already collecting personal information. That's enough for privacy law to apply, no matter how small your business is.

Australian business websites may need different policies depending on what the website does, the information it collects and who it serves.

Fines start at $2,500 per violation. Per visitor.

Australia's Privacy Act applies here at home, and if you sell to customers overseas, US, UK, EU or Canadian privacy laws can reach you too, regardless of where your business is based.

I'm a certified data privacy agency partner of Termageddon, the longest running policy generator listed as a trusted vendor by the International Association of Privacy Professionals.

I set up your licence, and whenever privacy law changes anywhere that affects your site, your policies update automatically.

I use Termageddon for my own website too. I chose it because I'd rather have policies that can respond to relevant changes than rely on documents I have to remember to manually review.

From there, Termageddon tracks the laws. If something changes, your policies update on their own.

Already have me looking after your website? Website policies can sit alongside your ongoing WordPress website maintenance, so there’s one less part of your site for you to keep track of.

Is this legal advice?
No. I'm not a lawyer, and Termageddon isn't a law firm either. What you're getting is a system designed to generate policies based on your answers and help keep them updated as supported privacy laws change. For anything beyond that, you'll want your own legal advice.

What happens when a law changes after I've signed up?
Termageddon tracks privacy law changes across Australia, the US, UK, EU and Canada, and pushes the update straight to your policy. You'll get an email letting you know it happened.

I already have a Privacy Policy. Do I need this?
Maybe. The important question is whether your current policy still reflects your website, the data you collect and the privacy laws that apply to your business. A Termageddon policy is designed to make ongoing updates easier, rather than leaving you to remember to review everything manually.

Can I set this up myself instead?
Yes. You're welcome to go directly through Termageddon using my partner link, though you'll be managing the setup and any future changes yourself.
