Privacy Policy
Effective 1 June 2025
Introduction
McCluskey Digital Enterprises (“MDE,” “we,” or “us”) operates this website to describe our consulting services and provide scheduling and contact options. This notice explains how we collect, use, and share personal data when you interact with the site.
Information we collect
Analytics and diagnostic data
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to record page views, device information, approximate geolocation, and on-site interactions. GA4 receives this data via a unique measurement ID configured for the site and is available upon request for transparency.
Bookings and meeting requests
The “Book time with us” feature embeds Microsoft Bookings. When you schedule time, Microsoft captures the contact details, meeting preferences, and notes you submit so we can respond.
Direct outreach
If you email us, call us, or message us on LinkedIn using the contact details published on the site, we collect the information you provide to handle your enquiry.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive information or data about individuals under 16. Please avoid submitting such details.
How we use personal data
We use personal information to:
- Provide information about our services, respond to enquiries, and schedule consultations.
- Improve site performance and content based on aggregated analytics trends.
- Maintain business records, including inquiry histories and meeting notes.
- Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights (for example, managing security incidents or mediating disputes).
Legal bases
Depending on the interaction, we rely on legitimate interests (promoting our services and responding to enquiries), consent (where required for analytics cookies), or contract performance (when you ask us to prepare a proposal or engagement). You may withdraw consent at any time and can object to processing carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests.
Sharing and processors
We share personal data with:
- Google LLC (Google Analytics) for site measurement. GA4 limits the storage of precise IP addresses and offers controls for ad personalisation.
- Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Bookings) to manage scheduling workflows.
- Trusted advisers or authorities if required to comply with law, enforce our agreements, or protect the rights and safety of our users and platform.
We do not sell personal information.
Cookies and similar technologies
Google Analytics sets cookies and uses device identifiers. You can manage cookies through your browser settings or install the GA opt-out browser add-on. Blocking cookies may affect some analytics functionality but the website will remain accessible.
Data retention
Analytics data is kept according to the retention settings in GA4 (typically 14 months). Inquiry records and scheduling details are retained only as long as necessary to deliver services, meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes. We periodically review and securely delete information that is no longer needed.
International transfers
Our processors (Google and Microsoft) may store data in the United States or other jurisdictions; however, McCluskey Digital and associated subsidiaries prefer to establish and maintain infrastructure within the Oceania or Australian regions that we operate in. We rely on the contractual commitments and compliance frameworks (such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses) of our service providers when applicable.
Security
We employ administrative, technical, and organisational measures—such as secure hosting, access controls, and encryption offered by our service providers—to safeguard personal data and system integrity. No system is perfectly secure, so please notify us if you suspect any unauthorised activity or security vulnerabilities.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timeframes required by law and may request verification of your identity.
Contacting us
For privacy questions or requests, email rory@mccluskeydigital.com or phone +61 411 704 114. You may also reach us through LinkedIn via the link on our contact page.
Updates to this notice
We may revise this privacy policy as our services or legal obligations change. The updated version will be posted on this page with the effective date noted at the top. We encourage you to review it periodically.
