Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information in accordance with Australian laws and policies. By using our website, you agree to the terms and conditions outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

We use cookies on our website. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server. Cookies help provide a better user experience and collect data to analyze and improve our website’s performance. You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
