Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 June 2026

1. Who we are

This website is operated by OperateAI, the trading name of Operate AI - by Fantom Labs Tech (ABN 51 559 921 362), based in Perth, Western Australia, Australia.

We help Perth local service businesses get found, recommended, and booked by AI search. Our main services are a free AI Visibility Check and optional done-for-you setup work.

We are bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This policy explains how we handle the personal information we collect.

2. What we collect

We collect information in two ways:

AI Visibility Check form

  • Business name
  • Suburb or service area
  • Trade or industry type
  • Email address and/or mobile number
  • An optional note about your business

Contact form

  • Your name
  • Email address and/or mobile number
  • Your message

Technical data

When you use the site or submit a form, our servers automatically record your IP address and basic request logs. We use this solely for security and rate-limiting purposes. We do not currently use tracking cookies or third-party analytics.

3. How we use it

We use the information you provide only for the purpose you gave it:

  • To prepare and send you the AI Visibility Check rundown you requested
  • To reply to your enquiry through the contact form
  • To provide any further services you specifically ask for

We do not use your information for marketing to third parties, and we will not add you to a mailing list without your explicit consent.

4. Third parties we share it with to do the work

To prepare your AI Visibility Check rundown, the business details you submit (business name, suburb, trade) and the search queries we run on your behalf are sent to the following third-party services, which act as data processors on our behalf:

  • OpenAI - AI analysis and content generation
  • Anthropic - AI analysis and content generation
  • Perplexity - AI-powered search and visibility checking
  • Google (Places API, Gemini, PageSpeed Insights) - business listing data, AI analysis, and site performance checks
  • Resend - transactional email delivery (to send your rundown)

We only send what is needed to run the check. We do not sell your information, and none of these processors are permitted to use it for their own purposes beyond providing the service to us.

These services may store and process data outside Australia. Each provider maintains their own privacy and security practices in accordance with applicable law.

5. Storage and retention

We keep your information only for as long as is needed to respond to your enquiry or deliver the service you requested, and for a reasonable period thereafter in case you follow up.

Your information is stored in our operational records and email systems. We take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access.

When your information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.

6. Your rights

Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, or misleading
  • Ask us to delete your information (subject to any legal retention obligations)

To make a request, contact us at privacy@operateai.com.au. We will acknowledge your request within five business days and respond within a reasonable time.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

7. Cookies and analytics

We do not currently use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics on this site. Server logs are retained for security and rate-limiting only.

If we add cookies or analytics tools in the future, we will update this policy and provide appropriate notice.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
