Privacy Policy

About this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and handle Personal Information both about our Customers and on behalf of our Customers when providing our services.

Gibson Promotions PTY LTD (ABN 28 105 778 676) understands that privacy is a major concern for all our Customers. As part of providing our services, Gibson Promotions PTY LTD is committed to:

• ensuring we comply with the Data Protection Law applying to us; and
• dealing effectively with your enquiries and complaints concerning our compliance with privacy laws, regulations and codes.

This Policy is governed by Australian privacy law. If you are an individual located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, additional protections under the GDPR may apply to your personal information. Contact us using the details below if you would like more information about how those protections apply to you.

Please read this policy carefully to understand how we will treat your Personal Information. If you have any questions, please contact us using the details provided below.

Our services

Gibson Promotions PTY LTD provides call analytics services to Customers, which include small, medium and large businesses. Our services ("Call Analytic Services") include:

• helping Customers track and evaluate the performance of their advertising by measuring and analysing telephone calls generated by online, mobile and offline ad campaigns;
• helping Customers drive sales leads and/or other desired outcomes through targeted ad campaigns and providing related analytics services; and
• providing Customers with call recording and other data services for their inbound calls.

What information we collect and why

Customer information

We collect Customer Information in the following circumstances:

Opening a customer account: If you wish to become a customer, we require your name, residential and email addresses, and telephone number. We may also ask for copies of identity documents (driver's licence, passport, birth certificate and/or utility bills) and payment details such as credit card or bank account information (which may be used to set up a direct debit).

Enquiries, blogs and online interaction: If you send us an enquiry through our site, we may collect your name, phone number and email address. Our site may include publicly accessible blogs or community forums. Any information you provide in these public areas may be read, collected and used by other internet users.

Credit information: Where we provide credit to Customers, we may collect and hold credit information and credit eligibility information. We may combine credit reporting information from a credit reporting body with our own information about creditworthiness.

Call recordings: Calls to Gibson Promotions PTY LTD offices and service centres may be recorded for verification and quality assurance purposes.

Third-party analytics services: We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Tag Manager to evaluate site performance and the effectiveness of our marketing. Consent-dependent analytics services only load after you accept cookies via our consent banner. The cookieless aggregate measurement described below remains available when you decline.

Ahrefs Web Analytics: We use Ahrefs Web Analytics for aggregate traffic measurement (pageviews per URL, top referrers, popular content). This service is cookieless, does not use browser fingerprinting, and does not identify individual visitors. Because it does not rely on cookies or personal identifiers it loads for all visitors regardless of consent. Ahrefs processes this data as our sub-processor under its own privacy notice at ahrefs.com/privacy.

Security (Cloudflare Turnstile): We use Cloudflare Turnstile on our lead forms and AI tools to verify you are a human and not an automated bot. Turnstile may read basic browser signals (user agent, IP address, interaction patterns) to make this determination. Cloudflare processes this data as our sub-processor under its own privacy notice at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Website journey analysis (Microsoft Clarity): We use Microsoft Clarity to understand page-level engagement, clicks and scroll behaviour so we can improve the site experience. Clarity loads through our consent-controlled analytics layer after you accept cookies. Microsoft processes this data as our sub-processor under its own privacy notice at privacy.microsoft.com.

B2B visitor identification (Leadfeeder): We use Leadfeeder (a Dealfront service) to identify the business or organisation behind anonymous website visits, based on the visitor's IP address. Leadfeeder does not identify individual visitors, only the company or organisation associated with the IP. The Leadfeeder tag loads only after you accept cookies. Leadfeeder processes this data as our sub-processor under its own privacy notice at dealfront.com/privacy.

Tracking technologies:Gibson Promotions PTY LTD and our partners may use tracking technologies such as web beacons, e-tags and JavaScript to analyse trends, administer our site, track users' movements, and obtain demographic information about our user base.

AI-powered tools

We provide free tools on our website (Call Performance Check, Website Answer Readiness Check, Grants Directory, Missed Call Calculator). When you use these tools, we collect the information you enter (such as your website URL, email, name, telephone number, business details, brief, and the answers you provide) so we can generate the requested result.

AI processing: The AI tools send your inputs to Anthropic (the makers of Claude, our AI provider) to generate recommendations. Anthropic processes this data on our behalf as a sub-processor. Anthropic does not train on this data by default. Anthropic's privacy notice is available at anthropic.com/privacy.

What we retain: We keep a record of your submission (email, name, telephone number, business, URL, brief, answers, score, and recommendations) in our CRM so Albert can follow up personally. You can request deletion at any time by calling 1800 950 347 or using our contact form.

Individual information (call analytics)

The information we receive from Customers about their current or prospective customers, or that we collect on behalf of Customers through our Call Analytics Services, is called "Individual Information." We process Individual Information in the following circumstances:

Cookies: We collect information from cookies which may include your IP address, browser software, pages visited (including time and date of visit), and keyword searches conducted.

Online usage and analytics data: We collect online usage and analytics data from Customer and third-party websites. This information includes IP address, date and time stamp, device ID, cookie ID, URL and referring URL, browser type, advertising identifiers, header information, and other information about the page or mobile application the user was viewing.

We also collect data on calls placed to our Customers, such as caller ID information, and may link that information to online activity collected, information collected from third parties, and information we have collected offline. We may also record calls placed to our Customers, at the Customer's election.

We do not collect sensitive information as part of providing Call Analytic Services.

Cookies and Google Ads

Functional cookies (no consent required): We use a small set of first-party functional cookies that do not track individual visitors and do not share data with third parties. These include gp_returning (a 90-day first-party cookie that records a visit count and first and last-seen timestamps so we can recognise returning visitors for our own analytics; it contains no identifier and no personal information), gp_tool_gate (a 30-minute signed session cookie that confirms you have passed the bot challenge on our AI tools), and gibson_consent_v1 (your cookie consent choice stored in localStorage so we don't ask you again). These are functional cookies under the Privacy Act 1988 and load without requiring consent. You can clear them at any time by clearing cookies for gibsonpromotions.com.au.

Our Customers may use our Call Analytics Services together with Google products such as AdWords, Google Analytics, and DoubleClick-branded services. For information about using Google Ads Settings to manage the Google ads you see, visit google.com/policies/technologies/ads.
