Privacy and cookies

This policy explains what information is collected when you use NearFinder Australian Postcodes and how it is used.

Information we collect

We do not ask you to create an account or submit personal information. Search terms you enter are used only to show results. Our web server keeps standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages visited) for security and to keep the site running.

Cookies and advertising

This site uses Google AdSense to show advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies at youronlinechoices.com.au. See also how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Maps

Maps are embedded from OpenStreetMap, which may receive your IP address when a map is displayed.

Australia is outside the European Economic Area, so no consent dialogue is shown; visitors who browse from the EEA or the United Kingdom are asked for consent before advertising cookies are set, as Google requires.

Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles you may ask what personal information we hold about you and request its correction, and you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). Contact us at [email protected].
