Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Introduction

StackPick ("we", "us", "our") operates the website stackpick.com.au. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. What information we collect

Information you provide directly

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us via our contact form (name, email address, and the content of your message) or subscribe to our email newsletter (email address only). We do not require you to create an account to use StackPick.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information about your device and how you interact with our site. This includes your IP address (anonymised), browser type and version, pages visited and time spent on each page, referring website address, and date and time of your visit. This information is collected using Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled. It does not identify you personally.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. We use strictly necessary cookies (required for the website to function), analytics cookies via Google Analytics (which can be disabled via your browser settings), and preference cookies to remember your choices. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to respond to enquiries and messages, send the newsletter you subscribed to with your consent, analyse website usage to improve our content, and maintain site security. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

3. Affiliate links and third-party tracking

StackPick contains affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, you may be redirected through an affiliate tracking system before arriving at the vendor's website. These systems may set their own cookies to track whether a purchase is made. We do not receive your personal information from these tracking systems - only confirmation of whether a transaction occurred. Third-party vendors have their own privacy policies.

4. Who we share your information with

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We share information only with service providers who assist us in operating our website: Google Analytics for website analytics, our email service provider for newsletter distribution (email address only, with your consent), and our hosting provider. These providers are required to handle your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

5. How we store and protect your information

Your information is stored on servers located in Australia or data centres with appropriate security controls. We retain contact form messages for up to 12 months. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained for 14 months before automatic deletion.

6. Your rights under the Australian Privacy Act

Under the Privacy Act 1988, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct personal information that is inaccurate, and make a complaint if you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

If you are not satisfied with our response to a privacy complaint, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

7. External links

Our website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

8. Children's privacy

StackPick is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
