How we handle your data

Information we do not gather

There is no account system here, no newsletter sign-up and no form that asks for your name, address, phone number or date of birth. Nothing on the site asks you to log in, and there is no member area behind a password. If you are ever asked for personal details on a page that looks like this one, treat it as suspicious and close it.

We do not run a cashier, take deposits or process withdrawals. Any money you handle sits with our partner and is governed by that operator's own privacy policy and terms, which you should read before you open an account. Questions about data held by our partner go to our partner, not to this site.

What analytics data shows about visits

If analytics is running on the site, it records things like the pages viewed, the referring link that brought you here, the type of device and browser, and a rough location derived from your network address. It does not tell us who you are. These records are used to see which pages are read and which are not.

Analytics data is not used to build a profile of you for advertising, and it is not sold. Aggregate counts may be kept for as long as needed to understand traffic patterns, then discarded. We do not attempt to match analytics records to any individual reader.

Cookies and your controls

Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser. This site may use them for basic function and, where analytics is present, to distinguish one visit from another. We do not use them to ask you for information or to follow you around other sites.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can browse in a private window. Blocking them may change how parts of the site behave, but nothing here requires a cookie to read a page. Your browser's help pages explain where the controls sit.

How the Privacy Act applies to removals

The Privacy Act 1988 sets out how personal information should be handled in Australia, including the Australian Privacy Principles. Even though this site asks for nothing, we treat that framework as the standard for anything that might be held, such as server logs or analytics records.

If you want to know what, if anything, is held about you, or you want it corrected or removed, email the editorial desk using the contact details published on this site. Say what you are asking for and include enough detail for us to identify the relevant records. We will respond and explain what can be done; where a record sits with our partner, we will point you to them.

Do I need to give my details to read this site?

No. There is no sign-up, no account and no form asking for personal information. You can read every page without identifying yourself.

How do I ask for information about me to be deleted?

Email the editorial desk using the contact details on this site and describe what you want removed. If the record belongs to our partner rather than to this site, we will tell you so and point you to the right place.
