Privacypolicy
This policy explains what we collect when you enquire, subscribe or use the chat on this site, why we collect it and how to have it removed. Last updated 7 September 2026.
Who we are
The Bearded Marketer (ABN 18 861 025 737) operates this website from Suite 88, Shop 23, 7-15 Larsen Rd, Redlynch QLD 4870. Anthony Holmes is responsible for how information collected through this site is handled. Contact us at [email protected] or 0466 444 477.
What we collect
- Enquiries. Your name, email address, phone number, business name, preferred call time and the message you send us through the enquiry form or the Ask us chat.
- Mailing list. Your email address if you subscribe in the footer.
- Chat questions. The questions and answers exchanged in the Ask us chat, so we can see what visitors want to know.
- Technical information. Standard web server and hosting logs, such as the pages requested and general device information.
Why we collect it
To answer your enquiry, book a strategy session, send you the mailing list content you asked for, improve the site and meet our record keeping obligations. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with anyone except the service providers described below.
Advertising and measurement
We use Google Ads conversion measurement to see which ads lead to enquiries. We ask every visitor, wherever they are, before any of it runs: the Google tag loads only if you accept marketing cookies, and until then, and if you reject, no Google tracking code is loaded at all. If you accept, we switch on advertising storage for measurement only - analytics storage, ad personalisation and sharing of ad user data stay switched off. A single conversion is then recorded when an enquiry is successfully received, and the only identifier we pass to Google is a random reference for that enquiry. We never send your name, email address, phone number or the content of your message to Google, and enhanced conversions are switched off. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer - if you withdraw consent we stop future measurement and clear the advertising cookies we set. You can also opt out of personalised Google advertising through your Google Ad Settings, and you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Who we share it with
Our website hosting and database provider, our email delivery provider (used to send the notification of your enquiry to us), and the AI provider that powers the Ask us chat. These providers process your information only to deliver those services. Some of them store data outside Australia.
How long we keep it
Enquiries are kept while we are dealing with you and for as long as we need them for business records. Mailing list subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Chat records are kept to improve the service and are deleted once they are no longer useful.
Access, correction and removal
Email [email protected] to ask what we hold about you, to correct it, to unsubscribe or to have it deleted. We will respond within a reasonable time. If you are not satisfied with our response you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Security
Information is stored in access controlled systems and only Anthony can view enquiry records. No system is perfect, so please do not send sensitive information such as financial details through the enquiry form or chat.
