Business Development and Outreach

Where a company or organisation is identified as having visited our websites via Apollo, we may use publicly available contact information (such as LinkedIn profiles or company website listings) to contact relevant individuals at that company. This outreach is conducted for legitimate business development purposes, such as offering podcast production services or sponsorship opportunities. We do not extract personal contact information directly from a visitor's session; we only use information that is already in the public domain.

Spam Act Compliance

All commercial electronic messages sent as part of our business development activities comply with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). This means every message will clearly identify W2D1 Media Pty Ltd as the sender and include a functional unsubscribe or opt-out mechanism.
