We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This policy outlines how we collect, store, use, and share your data.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Personal Information: such as your email address, username, or IP address if you create an account or contact us.
• Uploaded Content: any files, images, text, URLs, or QR codes you upload or create through the Services.

• Metadata: including timestamps, file size, file type, and QR scan or URL click statistics.
• Technical Data: including your IP address (which is stored and linked to the content you upload), browser headers, and cookies. This information helps us identify abuse, enforce our Terms of Service, and ensure the integrity and security of the platform.

3. How We Collect Information

• When you upload files, text, or URLs to our service.
• When you register for an account or contact us directly.
• Automatically through cookies, logs, or analytics tools when you visit our website.

4. How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our Services.
• Host and display uploaded files, links, or QR codes as intended.
• Monitor performance, detect abuse, and maintain security.
• Respond to user inquiries, support requests, or legal obligations.
• Generate anonymous analytics and usage statistics to improve our features.

5. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functionality and collect analytics. Cookies help us understand user behaviour, enhance performance, and ensure security. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the Services may not function properly.

6. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data only as necessary to:

• Comply with legal obligations or enforce our Terms of Service.

7. Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored securely on servers located in Australia (and/or other regions as required for service delivery). We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, misuse, loss, or disclosure.

However, no system is completely secure. You acknowledge that you share and upload content at your own risk.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your data for as long as necessary to provide our Services or comply with legal requirements. Uploaded content may be automatically deleted after extended inactivity or if it violates our Terms of Service.

You may request deletion of your account or data at any time by contacting us through the methods listed in the Contact section below.

9. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services such as hosting providers, analytics platforms, and content delivery networks. These third parties process data only as required to support our Services and are bound by privacy and confidentiality obligations.

10. International Data Transfers

While we primarily host data within Australia, some third-party service providers may store or process data overseas. We ensure that such providers maintain privacy protections consistent with Australian standards.
