Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Privacy by Design

AussieSpot (https://aussiespot.com) provides free financial calculators, tax tools, mortgage estimators, and business planning resources specifically built for Australian taxpayers and households.

Our calculator components perform arithmetic in your browser and do not send their input fields to our servers. This is separate from website analytics, hosting logs, and any information you choose to send in a contact message.

2. Calculator Inputs & Sensitive Information

Account registration is not required. Do not include sensitive information in support messages, including:

• Tax File Numbers (TFNs) or Australian Business Numbers (ABNs).
• Bank account numbers, BSBs, credit card numbers, or transaction logs.
• Calculated take-home pay, taxable income amounts, or tax return estimates.
• Mortgage balances, property addresses, or loan underwriting details.
• Superannuation balances or employee payroll figures.

3. Information We May Collect

We receive information that you submit through contact forms or email. Technical information is also collected through hosting services and Google Analytics:

4. Cookies & Local Storage

The site uses browser storage for preferences and Google Analytics cookies for usage measurement:

• Theme Preference: Storing whether you have selected Dark Mode or Light Mode so your preference persists across page navigations.
• Google Analytics: Cookies such as _ga distinguish browsers and sessions. Google processes this information to provide website usage reports.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser; some preferences may stop persisting. Google also provides an Analytics opt-out browser add-on. If advertising is enabled, Google and other vendors may use cookies or other identifiers to serve and measure ads based on visits to this or other sites. You can manage personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

The site uses third-party providers for contact forms, hosting, and analytics:

• Formspree: Facilitates secure routing of voluntary contact inquiries to our support inbox.
• Hosting & Content Delivery Providers: Process requests and technical logs to deliver the website. Google Analytics: Processes usage information and cookie identifiers for analytics reports.

These providers handle information under their own service terms and privacy policies and may process it outside Australia. See how Google uses data and Formspree’s privacy policy. Contact messages may remain in our inbox and form provider records. Contact us with a request about a particular submission.

6. Requests About Your Information

You can contact us about personal information you have submitted:

• Access: You can request access to information associated with your contact submissions.
• Correction: You may ask us to correct or update inaccurate contact information.
• Deletion: You can request deletion of contact submissions, subject to applicable retention requirements.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our team at support@aussiespot.com. We may need to confirm your identity before handling a request.

7. Data Security

The site is configured with security headers and uses third-party hosting and form services. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Please avoid submitting sensitive financial identifiers through contact forms.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in Australian legal regulations, new calculator features, or operational practices. The updated version will be indicated by the "Effective Date" at the top of this page.
