2021 Privacy Policy Australian Websites
We recommend to seek legal advice if you require a privacy policy page for your website.
Please see below links to see if you need to add one to your website. https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/the-privacy-act/ https://legalvision.com.au/am-i-legally-required-to-have-a-privacy-policy/ What is an APP Entity? An APP entity is a business that needs to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles.
If your business generates more than $3 million in turnover annually, then it is an APP entity and you must comply with the Australian Privacy Principles.
You must also comply with the Australian Privacy Principles if your business generates $3 million or less in turnover annually, but you:
provide a health service and hold health information other than in an employee record; buy or sell personal information; or are a contracted service provider for a Commonwealth contract (but compliance will only be required for the activities that are for the purposes of a Commonwealth contract). There is software out there as well and government templates for these but Search Marketing Specialists still recommend you seek legal advice.

We’re seeing a massive trend this month: Gold Coast plumbers, electricians, and builders are moving away from Google’s 'Smart Campaigns.' While automation sounds easy, it often wastes up to 30% of your budget on junk searches like 'how to fix a tap' instead of 'emergency plumber near me.' The 2026 Fix: For our clients, we’ve shifted back to Manual Phrase Match and aggressive Negative Keyword lists . By stripping out the 'DIY' seekers and focus-targeting specific suburbs like Southport and Burleigh, we’re seeing lead costs drop by half. If your current ads are 'set and forget,' you’re likely donating your profit back to Google. Want a quick audit of your current ad spend? Call Scott or Henry at 1300 881 421.
In the fast-paced world of digital marketing, your budget deserves more than guesswork. Unfortunately, many businesses on the Gold Coast take a chance with unverified agencies—sometimes paying for promises that never deliver. This is where experience, transparency, and proven results make all the difference.
