Privacy notice
Scout Local Media publishes Perth Solar Industry Guide, an independent directory of solar energy equipment supplier businesses in Perth Metropolitan. Most visits leave nothing personal with us at all. This page covers the cases that do: enquiry forms, attribution data, and the third-party services the site loads.
What you share with us
We collect personal information only when you submit a form. A submission includes your name, email address, phone number, message, and any answers about the service or timing you selected. It also includes the page URL you were on and how you arrived at the site (the referrer and any UTM parameters), which we use to understand where enquiries come from.
Where form submissions go
Form submissions are processed by our lead-capture processor and delivered to the business you enquired about and to the operator of this site. If you asked a specific solar energy equipment supplier business for a quote, that business receives your details so it can respond.
Cookies and local storage
The site uses sessionStorage in your browser to remember how you arrived (referrer, landing page, UTM parameters) so that an enquiry sent later in your visit carries the right source. It is first-party and session-scoped, not a tracking cookie; it is gone when your browser session ends and is never shared across sites.
Site analytics
Where analytics is enabled on this site, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager may set cookies to measure how visitors use the site. Those cookies are governed by Google’s own privacy policy.
Services this site loads
Three third-party services can receive requests from your browser while you use this site: Google Fonts, which serves the site’s typefaces; OpenStreetMap, which serves map tiles; and Cloudflare Turnstile, which protects forms from spam when enabled. Each sees request data such as your IP address and handles it under its own policy.
Information about listed businesses
The business listings on this site are compiled from publicly available sources, including Google Business Profile reviews. We store derived analysis (scores, summaries, sentiment), not raw review text. If your business is listed and you want a correction or removal, the listing policy explains how.
Retention and your requests
Enquiry details are retained while they are needed to deliver and follow up the enquiry, and not longer than that purpose requires. You can ask for access to your information, or ask us to correct or delete it, by writing to hello@scoutlocalmedia.com.au.
