This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights in relation to it. By using this website, downloading any free resource, or purchasing any product or service, you consent to the collection and handling of your information as described in this policy.
The Construction Contracts Co. is operated by Mat Kennedy as a sole trader based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

We also collect technical information automatically when you visit the website through standard analytics and tracking tools.
We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:
Important: Subcontract documents and project information shared with TCCC for the purpose of a paid review service are treated as commercially confidential. We do not share, publish, distribute, or use such documents for any purpose other than delivering the engaged service.
Documents and information provided as part of a paid review are retained only for the duration of the engagement and for a reasonable period afterwards for our own business records, after which they are securely deleted unless you request earlier deletion.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise commercially exploit your personal information. We may disclose your information to trusted third-party service providers strictly for the purposes of operating our business, including:
These providers have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them. We only share information with third parties to the extent necessary for them to provide their services to us.
We may also disclose your information where required by law, court order, or to protect the legal rights, property or safety of TCCC, our customers, or others.
Some of our service providers (including Squarespace, Stripe, and Google) are based in the United States or other countries outside Australia. By using this website and our services, you acknowledge that your personal information may be transferred to and stored in countries outside Australia, where data protection laws may differ from those in Australia.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that any third party we share your information with is bound by appropriate data protection obligations.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, tax, or reporting requirements.
