We respect your privacy. This policy explains what we (may) collect, why we collect it, and how you can exercise your rights. We aim to follow the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

1) What we do (in short)

  • All resources are free; no account is required.
  • You can browse and download PDFs without giving us personal information.
  • If you subscribe to updates or contact us, we’ll collect only what’s needed to respond or send the newsletter.

2) Information we collect

a) Information you provide

  • Newsletter sign-up: your email address (and optionally your name).
  • Contact form or email: your name, email, and the content of your message.
  • Resource requests/feedback: details you choose to share to help us improve.

b) Information collected automatically

  • Basic analytics/usage data: page views, device/browser type, approximate location (city/region), referring site, time on page.
  • Logs & security data: IP address and user agent may be logged briefly to help detect abuse (e.g., blocking bots).
  • Cookies: small files to remember preferences and measure site usage (see Section 6).

We do not collect sensitive information (e.g., health, racial/ethnic origin) and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

3) Why we collect it (lawful purposes)

  • Provide the Website: deliver pages, downloads, and fix issues.
  • Improve content: understand which resources are useful and what to create next.
  • Communicate: send you the newsletter you asked for; reply to your messages.
  • Security & abuse prevention: protect the site from spam, scraping, or attacks.
    Our legal basis (where relevant) includes your consent (e.g., newsletter), our legitimate interests (running and improving the site), and compliance with law.

4) Do we share personal information?

We don’t sell your personal information. We may share limited data with:

  • Service providers (processors): e.g., email newsletter service, website host, analytics provider, DDoS protection/CDN. They only use data to provide their services to us.
  • Legal or safety reasons: if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

5) Where your data is stored

Our Website and providers may process data in Australia and/or other countries (e.g., the United States, EU). We take steps to use reputable providers and appropriate safeguards.

6) Cookies & analytics

Cookies we may use

  • Essential cookies: remember basic settings (e.g., cookie banner choice).
  • Analytics cookies (or similar tech): measure site usage so we can improve.
  • Spam/security cookies: help block bots and abuse.

Managing cookies

Most browsers let you delete or block cookies. Note: blocking essential cookies may affect site features.

Analytics options

We aim to use privacy-respecting analytics (e.g., IP anonymisation or aggregated reports). You can:

  • Use a browser tracking-protection or ad-blocker, and/or
  • Adjust your cookie settings in the banner (where applicable).

7) Email newsletter

  • We’ll send emails only if you opt in.
  • Every email includes an Unsubscribe link.
  • We keep your email address with our email provider solely to send updates.
  • If you unsubscribe, we’ll stop sending emails and remove you from the active list.

8) Children’s privacy

This site is made for educators and families. Children should use the Website under adult supervision. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we’ll delete it.

9) Data retention

  • Newsletter details: kept while you’re subscribed; deleted or anonymised after you unsubscribe (allow brief logs for suppression/compliance).
  • Contact messages: kept as long as needed to respond and for records, then deleted or anonymised.
  • Analytics data: stored in aggregated or pseudonymised form where possible.
  • Security logs: kept short-term unless needed to investigate abuse.

10) Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (e.g., HTTPS, limited access, reputable providers). No method is 100% secure; please use the Website responsibly.

11) Your privacy rights (Australia)

You can:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you;
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • Delete (in many cases) or ask us to stop using your information;

Our resources may link to other sites (e.g., videos, activity references). We’re not responsible for their privacy practices. Check their policies before providing personal information.

13) Do Not Track

Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. Our service does not respond to DNT at this time, but you can manage cookies and use tracking-protection tools (see Section 6).
