Privacy Policy

Last updated 13 October 2026 · Paul Adams trading as GIGsorter · ABN 72 206 243 757

The short version

  • We collect the information we need to run your account, bill you and support you.
  • The details you store about your own contacts are yours. We handle them on your behalf, never use them for our own marketing, and never sell them.
  • GIGsorter is built on HighLevel, so information is stored with our providers, including overseas.
  • You can access or correct your information, unsubscribe from marketing, and complain to us or the OAIC.

This summary is for convenience. The full policy below applies.

1.Who we are

GIGsorter is operated by Paul Adams trading as GIGsorter (ABN 72 206 243 757), based in Queensland, Australia ("GIGsorter", "we", "us"). This policy explains how we collect, use, store and disclose personal information, and how you can access or correct it. We intend to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply to us.

2.Two kinds of information

This policy covers two different kinds of personal information, and our role is different for each:

  • Information about you, our customer (and your team), which we collect to run your account and our business. For this information, we decide how it's used.
  • Information you store in GIGsorter about your own contacts, such as exhibitors, stallholders, suppliers, customers and mailing list subscribers ("your contacts' data"). For this information, we act on your behalf and on your instructions, to provide the service to you. Clause 9 explains how this works.

3.Information we collect about you

  • Contact and business details, such as your name, business or trading name, email, phone number and business address
  • Account, subscription, billing and payment status information
  • Usage and technical information, such as pages visited, device and browser details, approximate location, referring sites and how you use the platform
  • Communications with us, including support requests, feedback, form submissions and booked calls
  • Information you provide when applying for a discounted plan or other eligibility-based offer
  • Information you provide for guided setup or custom builds, such as details of your processes and systems

We don't generally need sensitive information (such as health information) about you, and we ask that you don't send it to us.

4.How we collect it

We collect information directly from you when you use our website, book a call, sign up, start a trial, subscribe, fill in forms or contact us. We collect some information automatically through cookies and similar technologies, and some from third parties such as our payment provider and the underlying platform. We may also receive information about you from a referral partner or someone in your business who invites you to an account.

5.How we use information about you

  • To create and manage your account, trial and subscription
  • To process payments and calculate usage-based charges
  • To assess eligibility for offers and discounted plans
  • To provide support, guided setup and custom builds
  • To send service messages about billing, security, changes and your account
  • To maintain security, prevent fraud and misuse, and comply with our legal obligations
  • To understand how GIGsorter is used and improve it
  • To handle complaints and disputes
  • To send you marketing, where you've agreed or it's otherwise permitted

6.Marketing

We send marketing with your consent or where the law otherwise permits, and we aim to comply with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us. Even if you unsubscribe, we'll still send essential service messages about billing, security and your account while you have one.

7.Cookies and analytics

Our website and platform use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences and understand how our site is used, including pages visited, device and browser information, approximate location and referring sites. You can restrict cookies in your browser settings, although some features may not work properly as a result.

8.Payments

Payments are processed by third-party payment providers. We generally don't store your full card details; these are held by the payment provider under its own security standards. We keep records of transactions, invoices and payment status.

9.Your contacts' data

When you store your contacts' data in GIGsorter, you're responsible for it, and we handle it on your behalf. In particular:

  • We only use it to provide the service to you and as you instruct, for example to send the emails and SMS you set up, to support you, and to keep the platform secure. We don't use your contacts' data for our own marketing, and we don't sell it.
  • You're responsible for having a lawful basis and any required consent to collect and use it, and for giving your contacts your own privacy notice. Using GIGsorter doesn't, on its own, give you permission to contact anyone.
  • Requests from your contacts. If one of your contacts asks to access, correct or delete their information, they should contact you. If they contact us, we'll refer them to you where we can, and we'll help you respond to requests using the tools in the platform.
  • Access by us. We access your account only where needed to provide support, guided setup or custom builds you've asked for, to maintain security, or where the law requires it.
  • Templates. When we build something for you, we may reuse general workflow designs in templates for other customers, as described in our Terms. We never reuse your contacts' data, your branding or your confidential information.

10.Who we share information with

We share personal information with third-party providers that help us run GIGsorter, only as needed for them to provide their services. These include:

  • HighLevel, which provides the underlying platform that GIGsorter is built on, and its infrastructure providers
  • Email delivery providers, used to send emails from the platform
  • Telephony and SMS providers, used for phone numbers, calls and messages
  • Payment processors
  • AI service providers, when AI features are used
  • Analytics, calendar, video-conferencing and integration providers you or we connect
  • Professional advisers, such as accountants and lawyers, where needed

These providers handle information under their own privacy, security and data processing terms. We don't control all of their infrastructure, but we choose established providers and take reasonable steps to protect information shared with them. We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or to protect our rights, customers or the platform.

11.Overseas storage and processing

Most of our providers, including the underlying platform, are based outside Australia, so personal information, including your contacts' data, is likely to be stored, processed or accessed overseas, including in the United States, and potentially in other countries where our providers or their sub-processors operate. We take reasonable steps, as required by Australian privacy law, to ensure overseas recipients handle personal information appropriately.

12.Security

Information in GIGsorter is held mainly on our providers' infrastructure, which uses industry-standard security measures. We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. No system connected to the internet is completely secure, so you also play a part: keep your login details safe, use strong passwords, and manage who in your team has access.

13.Data breaches

If we become aware of a data breach involving personal information we hold, we'll act promptly to contain and assess it. If the breach affects your contacts' data, we'll let you know without undue delay and work with you on next steps. Where a breach is likely to result in serious harm, we'll notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

14.AI features

AI features are optional. Information you submit to them, which may include your contacts' data, is processed by third-party AI providers to produce the result. Avoid submitting sensitive information to AI features unless you're satisfied it's appropriate. Some AI features carry usage charges under our Terms.

15.How long we keep information

  • Account information is kept while you have an account and for as long as reasonably needed afterwards to deal with any questions, disputes or reactivation requests.
  • Billing, tax and transaction records are kept for as long as the law requires, generally at least five years.
  • Your contacts' data stays in your account while it's active. After your subscription ends, it may be deleted from active systems, and we can't guarantee it can be recovered, so export anything you need before you cancel. Copies may remain in backups for a limited period before being overwritten.

When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

16.Accessing and correcting your information

You can update most of your account information yourself in the platform. You can also ask us for access to the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by contacting us. We may need to verify your identity first. We'll respond within a reasonable time, and if we refuse a request where the law allows us to, we'll explain why.

17.Anonymity

You can browse our website and ask general questions without identifying yourself. To open an account or subscribe, we need identifying information.

18.Children

GIGsorter is designed for businesses and is not intended for children. If you collect information about children in your account (for example, attendees of family events), you're responsible for complying with the laws that apply.

19.Complaints

If you have a concern about how we've handled personal information, contact us first and we'll try to resolve it. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

20.Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be published on this page with its last-updated date, and we'll give reasonable notice of material changes.
