Privacy Policy

Last Updated 10 July 2025

This Privacy Policy outlines how Johnson Energy Consulting Pty Ltd (referred to as "I") collects, uses, manages, and protects any personal information you provide when you use this website, engage my consulting services, or otherwise interact with me.

As a sole operator consultant in the energy industry, I am committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly and in accordance with Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

1. Information I Collect

I only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for me to provide my consulting services and manage my business operations. The types of personal information I may collect include:

• Contact Information: Your name, email address, phone number, and postal address.

• Professional Information: Your job title, company name, industry, and details related to your consulting needs.

• Website Usage Data: Limited, non-personally identifiable information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited on my website. This is primarily collected through standard website analytics tools to understand how my website is used and to improve its functionality.

• Communications: Records of your correspondence with me (e.g., emails, phone calls).

2. How I Collect Information

I collect personal information in several ways, including:

• Directly from You: When you contact me via my website's contact form, email, phone, or in person to inquire about or engage my services.

• Through My Website: Limited non-personally identifiable information is collected automatically when you visit my website via standard analytics tools.

• During Service Delivery: Information you provide as part of our consulting engagement.

3. How I Use Your Information

I use your personal information solely for the purposes for which it was collected, including:

• To respond to your inquiries and provide you with information about my services.

• To deliver my energy consulting services to you.

• To manage my client relationships and administer my business operations.

• To communicate with you regarding our engagements, invoices, or other service-related matters.

• To improve my website and services based on aggregated, non-personally identifiable usage patterns.

• To comply with my legal obligations.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

As a sole operator, I am committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your information. I will not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:

• With Your Express Consent: Where you have specifically agreed to the disclosure.

• As Required by Law: If I am legally required to do so by a court order, subpoena, or other legal process.

• Confidentiality Agreements (NDAs): Please note that for all my consulting engagements, I have clients sign a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This agreement contractually obligates me to keep your information confidential and prohibits me from sharing your project-specific or proprietary information with anyone else, unless explicitly agreed upon in writing or legally compelled. This NDA takes precedence regarding the confidentiality of your specific project data.

I do not engage in extensive online advertising, and therefore, I do not typically share your information with third-party advertisers or ad networks.

5. Data Security

I take reasonable steps to protect the personal information I hold from misuse, interference, and loss, as well as unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. This includes:

• Storing electronic information on secure systems.

• Implementing password protection for digital files.

• Maintaining physical security measures where applicable.

• Limiting access to personal information to myself only.

While I strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access Your Information: Request access to the personal information I hold about you.

Correct Your Information: Request that I correct any personal information I hold about you that is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading.

Complain: If you believe I have breached your privacy rights, you may make a complaint to me in writing. I will respond to your complaint within a reasonable timeframe. If you are not satisfied with my response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

7. Website Links to Other Sites

My website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that I am not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. When you leave my website, I encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site that collects personal information.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the "Last Updated" date will be revised. I encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
