1) What we collect

We may collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide: if you email us, we receive your email address and the content of your message.
• Usage data: pages viewed, time on site, referrals, and general interactions (collected via analytics tools).
• Device data (may include): browser type, device type, approximate location, and other technical data provided by your browser/app.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive information through this website.

2) Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• understand how visitors use the site
• improve content and site performance

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some features work.

3) Google Analytics (GA4)

AussiePicks uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure site traffic and usage trends. GA4 may use cookies and collect usage data to help us understand how the site is used.

We use this information to:

• see which content is most helpful
• improve site experience and navigation

Google may process data as described in their own privacy documentation. If you prefer, you can opt out of analytics cookies by adjusting browser settings or using privacy tools.

4) Affiliate links & outbound links

Some pages may contain affiliate links in the future. Clicking an affiliate link may place a tracking cookie so a commission can be attributed—at no extra cost to you.

Our site may also link to third-party websites. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their privacy practices.

5) How we use information

We may use information to:

• respond to enquiries and emails
• improve content, layout, and performance
• maintain site security and prevent misuse

6) Sharing & security

We don’t sell your personal information. We may share limited data with service providers we use (such as analytics) to operate and improve the website.

We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no online system is 100% secure.

7) Data retention

We keep emails and enquiry messages only as long as needed to respond and for basic record-keeping. Analytics data is retained according to the settings in our analytics tools.

8) Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will reflect the latest version.
