This Privacy Policy explains how The Tradie Playbook (“we”, “us”) handles information when you visit tradieplaybook.com.au. We keep data collection to a minimum. We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
The short version
You don’t need an account to use this Site. We don’t ask for your name, email or personal details to read our guides, and we don’t sell or rent any information. The only data involved is the standard, mostly anonymous information almost every website receives automatically.
What we collect
Information you give us: only if you choose to contact us (for example by email), in which case we receive your email address and whatever you write, and use it only to reply.
Information collected automatically: like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics may record technical data such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit. This helps us keep the Site secure and understand which guides are useful. Where analytics are used, they are configured to be as privacy-friendly as practical.
Cookies
This Site may use small files called cookies for essential functions such as caching (to make pages load faster) and, if enabled, anonymous analytics. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the Site will still work.
How we use information
We use the limited information above to operate, secure and improve the Site, to understand general usage trends, and to respond to any message you send us. We do not use it to build marketing profiles.
Sharing
We don’t sell your information. We only share data with the service providers that help us run the Site (for example our web host and, if used, an analytics provider), or where required by law.
Third-party links
Our guides link to government and other third-party websites. Once you leave our Site, their privacy policies apply — not ours.
Data security and retention
We take reasonable steps to protect the limited information we hold and keep it only as long as needed. No online service can be guaranteed 100% secure.
Your rights
You can ask us what personal information (if any) we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing contact@tradieplaybook.com.au. If you’re not happy with how we’ve handled your information, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
Children
This Site is intended for a general audience, including apprentices who may be under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond the standard technical data described above.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version always appears on this page with its “last updated” date.
