Privacy
No analytics, no cookies, no tracking — and one column of the source register that never gets through the door.
What this site does not publish
The QBCC register carries a full street address for every licensee, and 75.5% of licences belong to individuals — sole traders, for whom that address is usually their home.
The street address is removed while the source file is read, before anything is written to a database. It is on no page, in no search index, and in no dataset we sell. The finest location anywhere here is the postcode, which covers a whole suburb or several localities.
The name is published, and deliberately. The QBCC tells homeowners that checking the licence is their responsibility, and that check is done against the name on the quote. A register of tradespeople is a register of people; what would change its nature is attaching each name to a front door, and that is what we do not do.
What your browser sends
No analytics, no advertising, no cookies, no third-party scripts. Static files only.
Your search never reaches a server. It lives in the part of
the address after the #, which browsers do not transmit, and the
lookup runs in your browser against static index files. We cannot see what you
searched for, because it is not sent.
The host, Cloudflare Pages, keeps ordinary server logs — IP address, time, file requested — as any host does. We have no per-visitor analytics.
If you send us a message
Two forms collect an email address: a job enquiry, and a bulk access or dataset enquiry. Both are handled by Formspree, which forwards them to our mailbox.
- Bulk access and dataset enquiries — we reply, and keep the exchange while the enquiry is live and for as long as we have a business relationship.
- Job enquiries — we reply, and we pass the requirement to licensed contractors for the class of work concerned, so they can respond to you. That is the point of the form and it is what happens to your message. We do not sell lists, and we pass nothing on if you tell us not to.
Ask us to delete what you sent and we will, at the contact address.
If you hold a licence
Your licence is a public fact and we republish it as the QBCC does, minus your street address. If something here is wrong, or identifies you beyond what the official register makes searchable, write to us and we will look at it the same week.
