Privacy Policy
Swish Plumbing Pty Ltd is committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled responsibly and securely. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

We collect this information primarily to:
- Provide plumbing and related services to you

- From cookies and analytics on our website (e.g. form submissions)
- From publicly available sources or third parties, such as referral partners or contractors
Where possible, we will always collect your information directly from you.

We do not sell or rent your information to any third party.
Storage and Security of Your Information
We take reasonable steps to store your information securely and protect it from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.
This includes both electronic and physical safeguards for client data.
When your information is no longer needed, it will be securely destroyed or permanently de-identified. However, certain records (such as job files and invoices) may be retained for at least seven years for legal or accounting purposes.
Access and Correction
You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, and to request correction if it is inaccurate or out of date.
To make a request, please contact us in writing.
We may require proof of identity before releasing any information to ensure it remains secure.
Maintaining Accurate Information
We aim to keep your details accurate and current.
If your information changes, please let us know as soon as possible so we can update our records and continue to provide quality service.
