Privacy policy
Plain English. Last updated 16 October 2026.
We collect as little as we can, we never sell it, and we follow the Australian Privacy Principles.
Kept on your phone, not with us
If you tap “Use my location”, it's rounded to about a kilometre and saved on your phone. It's used for your weather and to find fuel near you, never stored by us, and you can reset it any time. Your postcode, which sections you show or hide, your school and your birthday (day and month only) are saved in your own browser. We never see them. Clear your browser data and they're gone.
What we do keep
- Weekly email or fridge sign-up: your email, first name if you give it, postcode and that you agreed to the email.
- Events and birthday offers: what you submit, plus a contact email so we can check details. The email is never shown publicly.
- Feedback: your message, and your name and email only if you add them.
- Fridge photo: if you snap your fridge, the photo goes to Cloudflare’s AI just long enough to spot the food, then it’s gone. We never store it.
- Signing in: your name, email and, if you use Google, your Google profile photo, plus when you first and last signed in. Google only tells us those basics, never your password. One cookie keeps you signed in on that phone for up to a year. Sign out any time.
We don't ask for anything about your family or personal life beyond the basic contact details needed to make the site work.
How we use it
To run the site, send the email you asked for, check submissions and reply to you. Your details may be used to tell you about Maverick Digital in the weekly email, which you can stop any time. We never sell, rent or trade your details, and when we carry ads one day, advertisers will never get your personal details or use them to target you.
Who else is involved
- Cloudflare hosts the site, stores our data and sends our emails. Like any website host, it processes basic visit data such as your internet address.
- Open-Meteo provides weather and tides. Your browser asks it for Bellingen's forecast, so it sees a request from your device, but no personal details from us.
- If we move our email list to a mailing service, we'll name it here.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from any email at any time.
- Ask what we hold about you, ask us to fix it, or ask us to delete it, through the feedback form. We'll sort it within 30 days.
- Email sign-ups are for people aged 16 and over.
Keeping it safe
Data is stored on Cloudflare's secure systems and only Maverick Digital can access the admin area. If something ever goes wrong with your data, we'll tell you.
