Privacy policy
Last updated: [DATE TO CONFIRM]
This policy explains how Our Website Guide ("we", "us") handles personal information when you use ourwebsiteguide.com. We aim to follow the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
What we collect
- Analytics data. We use Google Analytics 4 and Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand which pages are read and how people find us. This includes pages visited, approximate location (city level), device and browser type, and the site that referred you. We don't use it to identify you personally.
- Affiliate link clicks. When you click a link to a tool we recommend, we record that the link was clicked (which tool, which page) so we can see which guides are useful.
- Information you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets cookies to tell visits apart. When you click an affiliate link, the company you visit (for example a hosting provider) may set its own cookie so it can credit us with a referral. Those cookies are set by that company under its own privacy policy, not ours. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site still works without them.
How we use information
To run and improve the site, work out which guides need updating, reply to messages, and measure which recommended tools readers find useful. We don't sell personal information.
Who we share it with
Our service providers: Google (analytics), Cloudflare (hosting, security and analytics) and our email provider. Some of these store data outside Australia, including in the United States. We may also disclose information where the law requires it.
Access, correction and complaints
You can ask to see or correct personal information we hold about you, or make a privacy complaint, by emailing hello@ourwebsiteguide.com. We'll respond within 30 days. If you're not satisfied, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
Changes
We'll update this page if our practices change, and change the date at the top.
