Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Information you give us: your email address if you subscribe to our newsletter.
• Technical information collected automatically: IP address, device type, browser and operating system, referring site, UTM campaign tags, pages viewed and the landing-page variant shown to you.
• Cookies and similar identifiers used to keep your session and remember which A/B variant you saw.

How we use it

• To run and improve the site, including measuring which pages and landing-page variants perform best.
• To send the newsletter you asked for, and let you unsubscribe at any time.
• To detect abuse and keep the site secure.
• To understand our audience in aggregate (traffic sources, devices, locations).

Cookies and tracking

We use first-party cookies for session continuity and A/B test assignment, and we record visit and click events ourselves rather than relying on third-party ad trackers. You can block or delete cookies in your browser, though some parts of the site may not work as well.

Email and the newsletter

If you subscribe, we store your email to send our fortnightly brief through our email provider. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. We do not sell your email address.

Who we share it with

• Service providers who help us operate, such as our hosting, database and email-sending providers, under confidentiality obligations.
• Operators only receive that you arrived via our link (through a standard referral), not your identity.
• We do not sell your personal information.

How long we keep it

We keep event and analytics data only as long as needed to understand performance, and newsletter data until you unsubscribe. IP addresses are minimised or aggregated where practical and are not used to identify individuals.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no online service can be completely secure.

Your rights

You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by emailing privacy@mateguru.net. You can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au) if you are not satisfied with our response.

Children

This site is for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Changes

We may update this policy. The current version is the one published here, with the date shown above.
