AI Kick Start
This policy explains how AI Kick Start handles personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. This policy was last updated June 2026.
We collect contact details you choose to share (name, email, phone, business name), the context of your enquiry, and basic server logs such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested. This website uses no third-party trackers, advertising pixels, or analytics scripts.
We use your information to respond to enquiries, prepare proposals, deliver agreed services, and keep records of work performed. We do not use your information for automated profiling or unsolicited marketing.
Information is stored on access-controlled systems and shared only with the people who need it to do the work. We apply sensible technical safeguards including encrypted connections, scoped access, and regular backups.
We do not sell personal information. We disclose it only to service providers who help us run the business (such as email and hosting providers), or where the law requires it.
We keep enquiry and engagement records only as long as needed for the work, our legal obligations, and reasonable business record-keeping. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.
Under APP 12 and APP 13 you can ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct it. Contact us using the details below and we will respond within a reasonable time, normally 30 days.
Our cloud hosting and email providers may store data on servers outside Australia. Where that happens, we choose reputable providers and take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.
We do not process client documents through AI tools without a scoped, written engagement. Sensitive workflows use redaction-first patterns: risky details are removed or replaced before any model sees the document, and a person reviews the output.
When we deliver services we may engage a small set of sub-processors to process personal data on our behalf, under written terms that require confidentiality and appropriate security. These fall into clear categories: cloud hosting and content delivery (Vercel), transactional email delivery (Resend), and, only within a scoped engagement you approve, the specific AI model providers named in that engagement (such as Anthropic, OpenAI, or a private, locally hosted model). We do not add a sub-processor that touches your data without telling you. Business clients can request a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and the current sub-processor list in writing before any engagement begins.
If you believe we have mishandled your information, contact us first and we will investigate and respond. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
Privacy questions can be sent to daniel.fleuren@aikickstart.com.au or by phone on 0487597299. AI Kick Start operates from Figtree / Wollongong / Sydney NSW.
FAQ
We build practical AI systems for Australian businesses: workflow automations, small focused agents, SEO and generative engine optimisation systems, secure local and on-premise AI for sensitive documents, VPS and cloud deployments, and Microsoft Copilot rollouts. Every build is scoped, tested, and handed over running so you own it, plus team training so staff actually use it.
No. A useful first workflow and a clear adoption path almost always beats a long theoretical strategy. We start by mapping one repeated job that has a clear owner and approved data, build the simplest reliable version of it, and prove the time saved. The wider strategy then grows out of something that already works, rather than a slide deck.
Yes. Sensitive workflows use scoped permissions, redaction before anything reaches a model, audit trails, and human checkpoints on anything that goes out. Where the data is too sensitive for a public tool, we run AI locally or on-premise so the information never leaves systems you control. We never process client documents without a scoped, written agreement.
Work is scoped as fixed engagements in Australian dollars, so you know the price before we start. A workflow audit is the low-risk first step, and every build after that is quoted as a range you agree up front. No open-ended retainers and no surprise invoices, and we discuss realistic numbers honestly on the first call.
Fast. The first working automation typically ships inside one to two weeks through a focused sprint, then we improve it from real use rather than guessing up front. We deliberately keep the first build small, one workflow, one clear outcome, so you see measurable time saved quickly and can decide what to automate next with confidence.
Yes. We work redaction-first, removing or replacing risky details before any model sees a document, and offer local and on-premise options when data must not leave your environment. Access is scoped, actions are logged, and a person reviews anything sensitive before it is sent. We never process client documents without a scoped, written engagement.
No. Coaching is included, and every system is handed over with plain-English runbooks so the person who owns the workflow can run it, pause it, and improve it without us. We train the actual operators on their own jobs, not generic demos, so the tools keep getting used long after the build is finished.
Yes. We are based in Figtree in the Illawarra and work remote-first across Australia, with most automation, training, and SEO/GEO work delivered online. For hands-on setup, hardware, networks, or anything that genuinely needs someone on site, we arrange visits across the Illawarra, Sydney, the South Coast, and the Southern Highlands.
