Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 August 2026

Aussies Talks Finance respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and store it, and the choices you have. We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

1. Who we are

Aussies Talks Finance ("we", "us", "our") publishes general financial information and consumer explainers for an Australian audience. You can reach us at privacy@aussietalksfinance.com.

2. What we collect

Information you give us: your email address if you subscribe to our newsletter, and the name, email and message you send through our contact form.
Technical information: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page and the pages you view.
Cookie data: identifiers used for site functionality and, where you consent, analytics and advertising measurement.

We do not ask for, and you should not send us, sensitive information such as health, financial account or identity document details.

3. Why we collect it

To deliver the website and keep it secure and available.
To send the newsletter you asked for, and to let you unsubscribe.
To reply to enquiries and corrections.
To understand which articles are read, so we can improve them.
To measure advertising, where you have consented.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We use strictly necessary cookies to operate the site. Analytics and advertising cookies are only set after you consent. You can change your choice at any time using or by clearing site data in your browser. Full detail is in our Cookie Policy.

5. Disclosure

We do not sell personal information. We disclose it only to service providers who help us run the site (hosting, email delivery, analytics and advertising measurement), and where required by law. Some of these providers may store data overseas, including in the United States and the European Union. We take reasonable steps to ensure they handle information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.

6. Third-party advertising

Advertisements displayed on this site may be served by third-party ad networks that use cookies to measure performance and, with consent, to show relevant ads. Those networks handle information under their own privacy policies. Where advertising consent is declined, we ask our partners not to set non-essential cookies.

7. Security and retention

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access. No system is perfectly secure. We keep newsletter details until you unsubscribe, contact form messages for up to 24 months, and technical logs for up to 12 months.

8. Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email privacy@aussietalksfinance.com and we will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au or on 1300 363 992.

9. Children

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 15.
