Our compliance commitments
NetGate is an Australian-registered business and operates in line with the Australian Privacy Principles set out under the Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Consumer Law, and the Spam Act 2003. Our work for clients in regulated sectors — health, financial services, education, and government suppliers — is delivered with an additional layer of process designed to satisfy sector-specific obligations such as record retention, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA where applicable), and consent management.
Where a project touches payment data, we deploy on infrastructure and integrations that align with PCI DSS expectations, and we work with vetted gateway providers rather than handling card data directly. If your engagement requires a specific compliance framework or formal sign-off from your legal team, we accommodate that during scoping.
How we handle your data
Client data — including site analytics, customer records held in tools we manage, and any creative or strategic assets shared during a project — is treated as confidential by default. Access is limited to team members directly involved in your engagement, credentials are stored in a managed secrets vault rather than spreadsheets or shared documents, and we operate a least-privilege model for third-party tools.
When an engagement ends, we follow a structured offboarding: ownership of code repositories, domains, hosting, analytics properties, and creative source files transfers to you, and any internal copies we no longer need are removed in line with our retention schedule. You can request a full account of where your data sits at any time.
Working with us — what to expect contractually
Each engagement begins with a written scope of work that lists deliverables, milestones, payment terms, and the basis on which changes will be handled. We are direct about what is and is not included so there are no surprises later. Standard agreements run under Australian law with jurisdiction in New South Wales, but we are happy to negotiate sensible amendments if your procurement team requires specific clauses.
Intellectual property assignment is straightforward: on full payment, custom work produced for your project is yours. We retain rights to underlying frameworks, libraries, and reusable components that pre-existed your engagement, and we are transparent about which third-party tools and licences carry their own terms. If anything in our standard agreements is unclear, ask — we would rather answer the question now than discover a misunderstanding mid-project.
