PayID PokiesScope of this policy
This policy applies to visitors to psite-ncr.org and to correspondence with PN Info's editorial team. PN Info is a small independent publisher based in Adelaide, South Australia. Our practices are guided by the Australian Privacy Principles set out in Schedule 1 of the Privacy Act 1988. Even where the Act does not strictly apply to small operators, we align with its principles as a matter of policy.
Information we collect
We collect only what is needed to run the site and respond to messages. That includes:
- Server log data — IP address, user-agent, referrer, requested URL — retained for security review purposes for up to ninety days.
- Email correspondence — messages you send us, and any attachments, retained for as long as needed to respond and to keep a record of corrections.
- Basic analytics — aggregated page-view counts, retained in a privacy-respecting form. We do not use behavioural profiling.
We do not run tracking pixels, third-party advertising cookies, or cross-site trackers. We do not sell data. The site is a static content site rather than a data-collection product, and the operational posture reflects that.
How we use information
Server logs are used to detect and respond to abuse — for example, brute-force attacks against the site or automated scraping that causes performance issues. They are not used to build reader profiles.
Email correspondence is used to respond to your message, to make corrections to the site where you have pointed one out, and to identify recurring questions that should be addressed on a page. Names and email addresses are stored with the correspondence, not extracted into a separate marketing database.
Aggregate analytics inform editorial decisions about which pages need updating. They do not identify individual visitors.
Disclosure and third parties
PN Info does not disclose personal information to third parties for their own purposes. Limited disclosure occurs where a service provider assists with hosting, security or email — those providers act on our instructions and are bound by their own confidentiality obligations. We choose service providers whose privacy commitments align with Australian requirements.
We do not respond to unsolicited data-sale enquiries. We do not participate in ad networks or programmatic advertising.
Storage and security
The site is hosted with a commercial provider using standard TLS encryption. Correspondence is stored in a business email system with two-factor authentication and access limited to editorial staff. Backups are held for a limited period and rotated regularly.
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. No system is perfect; we do not represent that the site or associated systems are invulnerable, but we apply the standard controls a small publisher can be expected to apply.
Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Principles you can ask us:
- What personal information we hold about you.
- To correct any information that is inaccurate.
- To delete personal information we no longer need to retain.
- How your information has been used.
Requests should go to [email protected]. We aim to respond within thirty days. If we cannot verify your identity — which is common where the only prior contact was an email address — we will explain the constraint and work with you to find a workable option.
Cookies
PN Info uses only essential cookies. Details of what is set and why are on the cookies page. There are no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies that identify individuals, and no cross-site trackers.
Children
Content on this site is written for adults. Australian gambling laws set an 18+ threshold. PN Info does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, we will update the effective date at the top and — for significant changes — publish a note on the home page. Small clarifications and typographical corrections do not require notice.
Complaints
Privacy complaints should go to [email protected] in the first instance. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. Complaints to us do not affect that right.
