Privacy Policy

1. Overview

AussieDeals ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it. By using this website you agree to the practices described below.

2. Information We Collect

Automatically collected: When you visit AussieDeals, our server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used solely for security monitoring and aggregate analytics.

Voluntarily provided: If you submit a comment on a deal, we collect the name you choose to provide (optional) and your comment text. We do not collect your email address for public comments. If you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address and message in order to respond to you.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To display your comments on deal pages (after admin moderation).
• To respond to contact form enquiries.
• To detect and prevent spam, abuse or fraudulent activity.
• To analyse aggregate website traffic and improve the site experience.

We do not sell, rent or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We use a session cookie to maintain your browsing state (e.g. to prevent duplicate vote submissions) and to store a CSRF security token. This cookie is strictly functional and contains no personally identifiable information. No third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels are used.

5. Third-Party Links

Deals on this site link to third-party retailer websites. We have no control over the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies before making a purchase.

6. Data Retention

Approved comments are retained for the lifetime of the deal post. Server logs are retained for up to 30 days. Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to respond to your enquiry.

7. Your Rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (and applicable state legislation) you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold. However, no method of internet transmission is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new policy.
