Privacy Policy

Overview

Hidden Places Sydney ("we", "us", "our") operates the website hiddenplaces.com.au. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using this site you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

We do not require you to create an account or submit any personal information to use this site. The information collected automatically when you visit includes:

• Pages visited, time spent on each page, and navigation paths (via Google Analytics)
• Your approximate location (country/city level, derived from IP address)
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Referring website or search query that brought you to the site

If you contact us by email, we retain your email address and the content of the message in order to respond to you.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to identify returning visitors and track sessions. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify individual users from Analytics data.

Google's data practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this site. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

Cookies

This site uses cookies for analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google AdSense). No other cookies are set by this site. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties, except as described above (Google Analytics and Google AdSense). We do not share email addresses or contact information with any third party.

Your Rights

You have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you, and to request its deletion. As we collect very little personal information (only contact emails where you have voluntarily written to us), these requests can be made by emailing hello@hiddenplaces.com.au.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
