What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy explains what information Hermia collects, how we use it, how we protect it, and what rights you have under Australian privacy law.

Hermia is an AI-powered lead qualification tool built for Fire & ESM (Essential Safety Measures) commercial contractors. We're based in Victoria, Australia, and everything we do complies with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

Got a question about this policy? Email us at capital@hermia.au and we'll get back to you.

02

Your Data vs. Your Customers' Data

There are two types of data involved when you use Hermia, and it's important to understand the difference.

Your business data — your name, ABN, billing details, and account information — is held by Hermia and covered by this policy.

Your customers' data — names, phone numbers, job details, and photos — belongs to you. Hermia only processes it on your behalf. We never collect it directly from the public, and we never use it for our own purposes.

As the contractor, you're responsible for having the right to collect your customers' information and for getting their permission where required. Hermia is just the tool that helps you handle it faster.

The short version

Hermia doesn't generate leads or collect customer data on its own. We only handle what you send us. Your customers' data belongs to you — not us.

03

What Information We Handle

Depending on how you use Hermia, we process three types of information:

Your account
Business details — your business name, ABN, billing information, and the contact details you use to set up and manage your Hermia account.
Enquiry data
Customer enquiries you send us — names, phone numbers, job descriptions, damage photos, urgency level, and location details submitted through your booking channels. You control what gets sent to Hermia.
System records
Technical records — timestamps, delivery confirmations, and automated processing records created when we qualify and route jobs through WhatsApp, SMS, or your connected software such as Simpro or Servicem8.
04

How We Use Your Information

We only use information to run the Hermia service. That means:

  • Qualifying and triaging repair enquiries on your behalf
  • Pushing structured job records into your Simpro or Servicem8 account
  • Sending you weekly business summary reports
  • Managing your subscription and billing
  • Responding when you contact us for support

We do not sell your data. We do not use your customers' information for advertising. We do not share it with anyone outside the services needed to run Hermia.

05

How We Keep Your Data Safe

We take security seriously. Here's what we do:

  • All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using 256-bit encryption
  • We never store your Simpro or Servicem8 login credentials — we connect through secure API tokens only
  • Our servers are based in Australia and meet SOC 2 security standards
  • Enquiry data is processed in real time and is not stored in a permanent customer database on our end
  • Access to account data is restricted to authorised Hermia team members only
06

Accessing or Correcting Your Data

You have the right to see the information Hermia holds about you, and to ask us to fix anything that's incorrect.

Because Hermia doesn't keep a permanent database of your customers' enquiry records, any requests from homeowners about their personal data need to go to you as the contractor — you collected it, and you're legally responsible for it.

For requests about your own account information — billing, business details, account history — email us at capital@hermia.au and we'll respond within 30 days.

07

Deleting Your Data

You can ask us to delete any personal data Hermia holds about you at any time. This includes your account details, Facebook and Instagram lead data received through Meta integrations, WhatsApp message records, job qualification logs, and any connection tokens linked to your account.

We'll delete your data within 30 days of receiving your request and send you an email to confirm when it's done. If any of your data has already been pushed to your Simpro or Servicem8 account, we'll also let you know to remove it from there.

How to request deletion

Email capital@hermia.au with the subject line "Data Deletion Request". Include the email address or phone number linked to your Hermia account. We'll handle the rest and confirm once it's complete.

This right is protected under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principle 11. We take it seriously and we'll never make it difficult to exercise.
