Who We Are

What Information We Collect
- Automatically collected: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on pages, language preference.

- Aggregated analytics data: non-identifying traffic statistics via tools such as Google Analytics.
How We Use Your Information

- To detect, prevent and address technical issues and security incidents.
- To respond to inquiries you send us by email.

Lawful Basis and Disclosure
We rely on our legitimate interests in operating an editorial website, and on your consent (through our cookie banner) for non-essential cookies. We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information to: (a) trusted service providers (hosting, analytics, anti-spam) bound by confidentiality obligations; (b) authorities where required by law; (c) a successor entity in the event of a business transfer.
Your Rights Under the Privacy Act 1988
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct any information that is inaccurate or out of date.
- Request deletion of your personal information where we have no ongoing lawful purpose to retain it.
- Opt out of direct marketing (we do not send marketing communications, but should this change you will be notified).
- Complain to the OAIC if you believe we have breached the Privacy Act 1988 or the APPs. Contact details: oaic.gov.au.
Data Retention and Security
We retain analytics data for up to 26 months in line with Google Analytics defaults. Email correspondence is retained for up to 24 months unless ongoing communication requires otherwise. We protect data using SSL/TLS encryption in transit, restricted access, and reasonable technical safeguards in line with APP 11.
Cross-Border Disclosure
Some of our service providers (e.g. analytics, hosting, CDN) are located outside Australia, including in the European Union and the United States. By using the site you acknowledge that limited anonymised data may be processed in those jurisdictions, subject to appropriate safeguards.
Children
This website is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect any information about minors. If we become aware that a person under 18 has provided information, we will delete it.
