Privacy Policy
Strength for Sydney respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit strengthforsydney.org, how we use it, and your rights under Australian and international privacy law.
What we collect
We collect standard web server logs including your IP address, browser type, referring page, and pages viewed. This is aggregated for traffic analysis. We also use cookies to remember your cookie-consent choice and to enable anonymous analytics.
We do not collect personal information (name, email, address) unless you voluntarily submit it via our editorial contact email. We do not run newsletter signups, comment systems, or account creation on this site.
Cookies and analytics
We use a single first-party cookie (sfs_cookie) to remember that you dismissed the cookie banner. We also use a privacy-respecting analytics tool that stores no personally identifying cookies. If you decline the cookie banner or use browser privacy settings to block cookies, the site continues to function normally.
Affiliate links and third-party tracking
When you click through to an operator listed on this site, the outbound URL typically contains an affiliate tracking parameter that identifies Strength for Sydney as the referrer. This is how we earn commission on new signups. The operator's own privacy policy takes over from that click onwards — read their policy before creating an account with them.
Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable, you have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you, correct that information, or request deletion. Because we do not collect personal information beyond voluntary email correspondence, there is typically nothing to access or delete.
To exercise any of these rights, contact [email protected]. We aim to respond within 30 days.
Security
All traffic to strengthforsydney.org is served over HTTPS with modern TLS. Server logs are retained for 90 days and then automatically purged. We do not sell, rent, or share visitor data with any third party.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Substantive changes will also be flagged on our homepage for at least 30 days.
Complaints
If you believe we've mishandled your privacy, contact us first at the email above. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
