Hello Australia (https://helloaustralia.net) respects your privacy. We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and, for visitors from the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy explains what we collect, why, and your rights.
1. Who we are
This website is operated by Hello Australia. You can contact us at dailydozentrivia.de@gmail.com.
2. What we collect
- Contact forms and guest post submissions: your name, email address and message.
- Comments: your name, email, website (optional), comment text, IP address and browser user agent, to help detect spam.
- Usage data: technical information collected automatically (such as browser type, pages visited and time on site) through cookies and analytics tools, where enabled.
3. Why we collect it
- To respond to your enquiries and submissions.
- To manage and moderate comments.
- To understand how the site is used and improve it (with your consent for non-essential cookies).
- To meet our legal obligations.
4. Cookies
We use essential cookies and, with your consent, analytics and third-party cookies. Learn more in our Cookie Policy.
5. Embedded content
Articles may include embedded content (such as videos, images or social media posts). Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the original website, which may collect data about you.
6. Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We only share it with service providers who help us run the website (hosting, email, analytics, spam protection), or when required by law. Some of these providers may store data overseas; we take reasonable steps to ensure they protect it.
7. How long we keep it
Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to reply and follow up, up to a maximum of 2 years. Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically.
8. Your rights
You can ask to access or correct your personal information, or ask us to delete it, by emailing dailydozentrivia.de@gmail.com. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC — www.oaic.gov.au). EU residents also have the rights set out in the GDPR, including data portability and objection, and may contact their local data protection authority.
9. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including a secure (HTTPS) connection.
10. Children
This website is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
11. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The date of the latest update is shown at the top of this page.
