Your Website Has Rules to Follow Too
When you're focused on nice design and fast loading speeds, it's easy to overlook legal pages. If you run a business in Australia, obligations kick in the moment you start collecting customer information. Even a simple contact form, booking system, or newsletter signup means you're handling personal data like names, emails, and phone numbers.
Why It Matters
Australia regulates personal information through the Privacy Act 1988. Businesses with an annual turnover over $3 million are covered, but even smaller businesses can fall under it if they handle health information or trade in personal data. More importantly, a clear Privacy Policy builds trust with customers, and Google also views it as a sign of a trustworthy site.
Legal Pages You Should Have
- Privacy Policy: Explains what information you collect, why, and how you store and use it.
- Terms of Service: Sets out conditions of use, refund and cancellation rules. Especially important if you take online payments or bookings.
- Cookie Notice: If you use Google Analytics or ad pixels, you need to let visitors know.
Practical Tips
- Always include contact details. Customers need a way to ask about their information.
- Offer both Korean and English so Korean and local Australian customers both feel reassured.
- Link them in the footer so they're easy to find on every page.
- Don't just copy another site's content, write it to fit your own business.
Legal pages last a long time once done well, but they need reviewing whenever you add payment, booking, or marketing features. PICKTECH builds websites for Korean businesses in Australia and takes care of the right privacy policy and essential legal pages along the way.
