Introduction
This policy explains what personal information Marva Collins collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here. If anything here is unclear, contact us at [insert real email].
What We Collect
We collect personal information in the following ways:
- Newsletter signup: your email address, if you subscribe
- Contact form: your name, email address, and message content, if you contact us
- Analytics: general, non-identifying usage data (pages visited, approximate location, device/browser type) via Google Analytics or similar tools
- Cookies: small data files stored in your browser to support site functionality and analytics — see the Cookies section below
How We Use It
We use the information collected to:
- Send the newsletter digest to subscribers, and nothing else, unless you separately opt in to something else
- Respond to enquiries or corrections submitted via the contact form
- Understand overall site traffic and improve content — using aggregated, non-identifying analytics data
Who We Share It With
We don’t sell personal information. We may share limited data with:
Service providers who help us run the site (e.g. email delivery platform, hosting provider, analytics provider) — solely to perform those functions
Legal authorities, only if required by law
Cookies
This site uses cookies for basic functionality and analytics. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some site features.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected — for example, newsletter subscriber emails are kept until you unsubscribe, and contact form submissions are retained for a reasonable period to handle follow-up enquiries.
Your Rights
Under Australian privacy law, you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information held by us. To make a request, contact us at [insert real email].
Third-Party Links
Our guides may link to external sites, including buyer’s agents, brokers, and lenders. We aren’t responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites — check their own privacy policies before providing them with personal information.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
