Hardweb Privacy PolicyAfter ten years in the web designing business on the Gold Coast I can say that I have never misused or sold on any of my customers private information. I feel that this being a web designer for my customers is a position of trust and I would never knowingly or intentionally pass any information to anyone who might then carelessly spam them or try to market to them in a dishonest manner. I do not resell hosting or domain name registration services preferring to recommend some hosts and registrars that I trust and advise customers how to sign-up themselves. This is because I have seen the practice of some web designers who mark up hosting and domain name registration services as if they are the actual host or domain name registrar whereas they are just reselling someone elses services and cannot influence the level of service that is provided in any way. So what are they charging money for? It is in my customers best interest to have control over their domain name registration (ownership), website hosting and website design (ownership of the code, graphics and images of the website. I do not restrict a customer from moving on to another web designer if they wish and do not attmept to block a transfer by holding any copyright protection over any code on a website that I have designed. They may take the website in it's entirety with them to alternate web designers, website hosts or domain name registrars which is only proper I feel. Any information that I have collected through web forms, emails and phone calls is treated with care and not shared with anyone else unless the customer is aware of it. I am aware of, and adhere to the Privacy Act 1988 and the Privacy Principles document put out by the Australia Govt. in 2001 Pdf here.
