Your privacy matters to us, and this Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal information when you visit offlineovercaffeinated.com, subscribe to the blog, contact us, or otherwise interact with the website.

We manage personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), where applicable.

You can browse most of the blog without providing us with personal information.

We may collect personal information when you:

  • subscribe to the blog or newsletter;

  • contact us;

This may include:

  • your name;

  • email address;

  • information you include in a message or enquiry; and

  • limited technical or website usage information.

We generally collect information directly from you.

If you choose not to provide information requested through the website, we may not be able to respond to your enquiry, manage your subscription, or provide communications or other features that require that information.

How We Hold Personal Information

Personal information collected through the website may be held in secure electronic systems, including cloud-based platforms and services provided by trusted third-party providers.

We take reasonable steps to ensure personal information is stored and handled securely and is protected from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

  • respond to enquiries and messages;

  • manage subscriptions;

  • understand how readers use the website;

  • improve the blog and website;

  • comply with legal obligations.

We do not collect personal information simply because we can. If we don't need it for one of these purposes, we generally won't ask for it.

websites.

Disclosure of Information

We may use trusted third-party providers to operate the blog, including website hosting, email, analytics, forms and other technology services.

Where reasonably necessary, personal information may be disclosed to these providers so they can provide those services.

We may also disclose information where required or authorised by law, or where you have given us permission to do so.

We do not sell personal information.

Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure personal information is handled appropriately and in accordance with applicable Australian privacy laws.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

However, no website or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If we become aware of an eligible data breach involving personal information, we will comply with our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including notification requirements where applicable.

You may contact us to request access to personal information we hold about you or ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.

We may require reasonable proof of identity before providing access to personal information.
