Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

This website operates as a product review and affiliate platform with an online community and discussion forum. Members can earn a share of affiliate revenue, which means we also collect limited tax and payout information as described below.

We collect only the minimum personal information necessary to operate the community.

Information may include:

• Nickname / username
• Email address
• Profile image (optional)

Tax & Residency Information (For Revenue Payouts):

• Country of residence
• Australian Business Number (ABN), where you choose to provide one
• Tax declarations and consents, such as an electronic acknowledgement of the ATO “Statement by a Supplier” (for Australian residents without an ABN) or a non-resident declaration (for residents outside Australia)
• Note: This information is used only to determine payout and tax-withholding obligations. We do not collect your Tax File Number (TFN).

Financial Information (For Revenue Payouts):

• Bank account details (Account Name, BSB, Account Number)
• Note: Financial information is collected on a one-time basis solely for processing withdrawal requests and will be securely destroyed immediately after the payout is completed. It is not permanently stored in our database.

Nicknames, profile images, and other information used to identify members within the community are publicly visible.

Personal information is used solely for:

• Account identification
• Community participation
• Site administration and moderation
• Processing financial payouts and revenue distribution
• Determining and applying tax-withholding obligations (for example, PAYG withholding where an ABN is not quoted and no exemption applies)
• Complying with anti-fraud and taxation requirements

This website is not operated as a personal data repository and does not require sensitive personal information.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

Personal information will not be disclosed to third parties except:

• Where required by Australian law
• In response to a valid court order or lawful request from Australian authorities
• To affiliate partners (for example, Amazon Associates and Commission Factory) only as necessary to attribute and reconcile commissions on outbound clicks and qualifying purchases
• To the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) where required by law, including any PAYG withholding records

In cases involving serious criminal matters (including but not limited to child exploitation material, incitement to crime, or threats to public safety), we may disclose IP addresses or relevant technical data as legally required.

If users voluntarily or negligently disclose personal information in posts or comments, the website and administrators are not responsible for any resulting misuse or harm.

Responsibility for such disclosure rests entirely with the user who posted the content.

Reasonable steps are taken to protect stored information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.

Questions regarding privacy may be directed to site administration via the official contact channel.
