Who we are.
LAOS is being built by its co-founders, Kane Nuttall and Jacob Welsh. A company to run it is being set up, and this page will name it when it exists. Contact either of us: kane@laoslivestock.com.au or jacob@laoslivestock.com.au.
LAOS
Privacy notice.
What LAOS collects through this website, why, and how to reach us about it.
Pilot enquiries.
The pilot form asks for your name, work email, business or agency, role and a short message, together with your consent. Please do not send private customer, animal-identification or financial information. Enquiries are stored in the LAOS database, hosted by Supabase in Sydney, with the time you agreed and the version of this notice, and a copy is emailed to the founders through Resend, the email service LAOS uses. Only the founders read them. An enquiry does not create an account or confirm a pilot place.
The waitlist and updates.
The waitlist asks for an email address and role, with an optional name and business. You agree to receive LAOS launch and pilot updates by email. We store those details in the same database with the time you agreed and the version of this notice. Joining does not create an account or confirm a pilot place. Every update will name the sender and say how to stop further messages.
Have your say.
The questionnaires ask about your work, with an optional name, business and phone or email. You choose to send them by ticking the consent box. Answers are stored in the same database and read only by the founders, and a copy of each response may be emailed to the founders through Resend, the email service LAOS uses. What we learn is shared only as totals and short quotes, with names, numbers and contact details taken out. We use your contact details only to get in touch about LAOS if you asked us to. The page records which link you came from, not who you are. If you use the Speak button, your browser turns your voice into text with its own speech service (for example Google in Chrome, Microsoft in Edge, Apple in Safari), and LAOS receives only the text, never a recording.
Buyer links from an agent.
A stock agent using LAOS can send you a private link to one mob they are selling. The page shows the listing, the recorded weights and treatments, and the town and state, never the property or its PIC. If the agent chose to, it also shows the mob’s photos, with any location data removed. The agent who sent it can see when the link is opened and whether you say you are interested, with any note you add. Nobody else sees that, and no analytics run on the page. The agent can stop the link at any time, and it stops working after 30 days.
Keeping forms from being abused.
Limits on repeat submissions use a keyed, one-way hash of the network address, not the address itself. No website analytics are used.
Images and films on this site.
Application screens on this site come from LAOS running on fictional sample records, and the LAOS films show an illustrated, fictional farm. Neither shows a customer’s records. The landscape film at the top of the home page plays by itself, muted, unless your device asks for reduced motion or data saving. The LAOS story film loads only when you play it. The short loops load and play on larger screens when they come into view, unless your device asks for reduced motion or data saving; on phones they wait until you press Play.
Signing in.
The Log in link opens the LAOS application, where your account and your organisation’s permissions apply. This website does not give access to anyone’s records.
How long we keep it, and your choices.
We have not yet set a fixed period for keeping these details. You can ask to see, correct or delete yours at any time by emailing jacob@laoslivestock.com.au.
