Privacy Policy
Last updated 17 October 2026
Backyard Mate ("we", "us") is operated by [Operator legal name]. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with and how you can access, correct or delete it.
What we collect
- Your backyard photo and the options you choose (style, size, colour).
- Contact and project details you give us when you request a quote: name, mobile number, suburb or postcode, and anything optional you add such as email, address, budget, timeframe, site details, extra photos and notes. We send a one-time code by SMS to confirm your mobile number belongs to you.
- Technical information such as a random visitor ID, device and browser type, pages visited and how you arrived at our site (for example an ad or a search). We use it to run the service, prevent abuse and improve it.
We do not ask for sensitive information. Please avoid including people, number plates or house numbers in your photo.
Why we collect it
- To create your AI preview and indicative price estimate.
- To connect you with independent installers when you request a quote.
- To contact you about your request.
- To send you ideas and offers, only if you opt in.
- To keep the service secure, measure how it performs and comply with the law.
If you don't give us your contact details, you can still see a preview and estimate, but we can't arrange a quote.
Who we share it with
Installers. If you request a quote and give your consent, your project details and photo (without your name, address or contact details) are shown to patio and pergola installers in our network so they can decide whether to take on your request. Your contact details are then shared with one independent installer who services your area and takes on your request. That installer may contact you by phone, SMS or email about it, and handle your information under their own privacy policies. Installers pay us a fee for each request they take on. Installers who take on a request agree not to resell or misuse your information. If you ask, we will tell you which installer received your details.
Service providers. We use trusted providers to host the site, store data, process images with AI, send emails and SMS, take payments from installers and protect against spam. They only use your information to provide their service to us. Under our AI provider's terms, your photo is not used to train its models.
Others. We may disclose information where required by law, or to protect our rights or the safety of others. We never sell your information to data brokers or list sellers.
Overseas processing
Some of our service providers store or process information outside Australia, including in the United States, and our operator is based outside Australia. We take reasonable steps to make sure overseas recipients handle your information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.
How we keep it safe and for how long
Information is stored with access controls and encrypted in transit. Photos are private and never published. If you don't request a quote, your photo and preview are deleted within 30 days. Quote requests are kept for up to 24 months so we can manage your enquiry and any follow-up, then deleted or de-identified.
Marketing
We only send marketing emails or SMS if you tick the opt-in box. Every message includes an easy way to unsubscribe, and you can also contact us to opt out.
Cookies and analytics
We use essential storage to remember your progress and limit free previews, and privacy-friendly analytics to understand how the site is used. If we add advertising or measurement tools, we will update this policy and ask for consent where required.
Access, correction and deletion
You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or withdraw your consent, by emailing [privacy email]. We will respond within 30 days. If your details have already been shared with an installer, we will tell you who, so you can contact them too.
Complaints
If you have a privacy concern, email us first and we will respond within 30 days. If you're not satisfied, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
Changes
We may update this policy. The latest version is always on this page, with the date it was updated.
Terms of Use
Last updated 17 October 2026
These terms apply to your use of Backyard Mate, operated by [Operator legal name]. By using the site you agree to them.
What we do
We provide an online visualisation tool, indicative price estimates and introductions to independent patio and pergola installers. We are not a builder. We don't design, quote, sell, install or warrant any structure, and installers are not our employees or agents. We may receive a fee from installers for introductions. The service is free for homeowners.
Previews are concepts only
AI previews are artistic concepts to help you imagine a result. They are not plans, engineering drawings or a promise of what can be built on your property. Final design, dimensions, materials, approvals and compliance must be confirmed by a qualified installer.
Estimates are not quotes
Price ranges are indicative, based on your selections and typical Perth pricing. They are not an offer or a quote. Your actual price depends on a site inspection, measurements, materials, footings, engineering, council requirements and the installer's own pricing.
Installers
Any quote, contract, deposit, installation or warranty is between you and the installer. Please check licences, insurance and references, and get a written quote and contract before you go ahead. We don't guarantee that an installer will be available in your area or will contact you within a set time.
Your photos
Only upload photos of a property you own or have permission to photograph. You keep ownership of your photos. You let us store and process them to provide the service, and share them with installers if you request a quote. We won't use your photos in advertising without asking you separately.
Fair use
Free previews are limited. Don't misuse the site, upload unlawful or offensive content, try to access other people's information or interfere with the service. We may limit or stop access if you do.
Our liability
Nothing in these terms excludes your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for decisions you make based on a preview or estimate, or for the work or conduct of any installer.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia.
