Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains how australiati.me ("this site", "we", "us") handles information in connection with the tools available here. This site is operated by an individual, not a company, and is intended to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) to the extent that they apply to a site of this size and nature.

No accounts, no personal data collection

This site does not require you to register, log in, or create an account to use any tool. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number or any other personal information in order to set an alarm, run a timer, or use a calculator. There are no forms on the tool pages themselves that collect personal details.

How the tools store information

Alarm times, timer targets, calculator inputs and similar settings are stored locally in your own browser — typically using browser storage mechanisms such as local storage or cookies — so that a page can remember what you were doing if you refresh it or come back later. This information stays on your device and is not transmitted to, or stored on, our servers. Clearing your browser's site data or cookies for this domain will remove it.

Analytics

Like most websites, we use a web analytics service to understand, in aggregate, how the site is used — for example, which pages are visited and roughly how much traffic the site receives. This helps identify which tools are useful and where something might be broken. Analytics data is generally aggregated and de-identified; it is not used to build a profile of you personally, and it is not linked back to anything you enter into a calculator or alarm tool.

Advertising

This site does not currently display third-party advertising. If that changes in the future, this policy will be updated in advance to explain what advertising partners are used, what information they may collect (which may include the use of cookies or similar technologies for ad personalisation and measurement), and how you can manage your preferences. Check back here periodically if this matters to you.

Overseas disclosure

Where third-party services such as web analytics providers are used, some data may be processed on servers located outside Australia. Any such service is chosen with reasonable care for its privacy practices, but if this is a concern, you can use the site with browser settings that block analytics or third-party cookies without losing access to any tool.

Your rights

Because this site does not collect or store personal information on its own servers, there is generally no personal data held by us for you to access, correct or request deletion of beyond what sits locally in your own browser, which you can clear yourself at any time through your browser's settings. If you believe we hold personal information about you and would like to make an access, correction or deletion request, you can contact us using the details on the Contact page and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Complaints

If you have a concern about how this site handles information and you feel it hasn't been resolved after contacting us directly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time, particularly if the site begins using additional analytics, advertising or other third-party services. The date of the most recent update will be reflected on this page. [Insert last updated date.]
