Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your personal information under Australian and New Zealand privacy law.
About this policy
This privacy policy explains how CyberCraft ("CyberCraft", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information. We are based in Adelaide, South Australia and Christchurch, New Zealand, and provide operations redesign consulting, bespoke software development, and cybersecurity services to organisations in Australia and New Zealand.
This policy applies to personal information collected through our website at cybercraft.net and through direct communications with our team.
Applicable legislation
This policy is designed to comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), as well as the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs). Where differences exist between these frameworks, we apply the higher standard of protection.
What personal information we collect
We collect only the personal information that is reasonably necessary for us to respond to your enquiry and provide our services. When you submit one of our website enquiry forms, we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your company or organisation name
- Your area of interest (the service the enquiry page relates to)
- Your message or enquiry details
- Your answers to the short qualifying questions on service-specific enquiry pages (for example, the process you want looked at or your approximate staff count)
When you submit a form we also record the country your request came from and your IP address. The IP address is used to limit abuse of the form (rate limiting) and is included in the internal notification of your enquiry so we can investigate suspected spam.
We do not collect sensitive information (such as health information, financial account details, or government identifiers) through our website. If you voluntarily include sensitive information in your message, we will treat it with additional care and delete it once your enquiry has been addressed.
We do not collect personal information about you from third-party sources. All personal information we hold is provided directly by you.
Information collected automatically
Our website uses a site measurement script provided by Nexanomics, which loads from Nexanomics servers on each page. When you visit a page, the script records the pageview and its marketing context: the page viewed, the site you arrived from, any campaign (UTM) parameters in the link you followed, and your device type. Approximate location is derived server-side and raw IP addresses are not stored. The script collects no names, no email addresses, and no other personally identifiable information, and it does not fingerprint devices or track individuals. Nexanomics is a related CyberCraft project (it is the subject of the case study published on this site) and processes this data on our behalf, solely to report site usage to us and to improve its own service. It is not used to build advertising profiles and is not sold or shared with any third party.
Cloudflare's infrastructure may process technical data (such as IP addresses and HTTP request headers) to deliver and secure our website, and provides us with anonymised aggregate statistics such as page views and countries. This processing is transient and is not used by us to identify individual visitors.
Our website loads typefaces from Google Fonts servers. When fonts are loaded, Google may receive your IP address and HTTP request headers. Google does not use this data to create individual profiles. You can review Google's privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.
Apart from the Nexanomics measurement described above, we do not use marketing cookies or any technologies that track your behaviour across other websites.
How we use your information
We use the personal information you provide for the following purposes:
- To respond to your enquiry and provide information about our services
- To contact you by email regarding your enquiry
- To direct your enquiry to the appropriate member of our team
- To improve our website and service offerings based on the types of enquiries we receive
We will not use your personal information for direct marketing unless you have provided explicit consent. We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.
How we store and protect your information
Enquiry form submissions are delivered to our team by email through Microsoft 365. Each submission, including the technical details described above, is also held for up to 90 days in a secure short-term store on Cloudflare's infrastructure, so that your enquiry is not lost if email delivery fails. Records in that store are deleted automatically when the 90 days expire. We do not hold your personal information in a customer relationship management system.
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, and disclosure. Our protective measures include:
- Secure email systems with access restricted to authorised personnel
- TLS encryption for data in transit via our website
- Cloudflare's web application firewall and DDoS protection
- Regular review of our data handling practices
Please note that no method of electronic transmission is completely secure. We recommend that you do not send highly sensitive information (such as passwords, financial details, or government identifiers) via our contact form.
Retention
We retain personal information from enquiry form submissions in our email systems for up to 12 months from the date of your last communication with us, and in the short-term delivery store for up to 90 days from submission. After these periods, we permanently delete the information unless you have engaged us for ongoing services, in which case we retain information for the duration of our engagement plus any period required by law.
Disclosure to third parties
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own purposes. Your information may be processed by the following service providers, solely on our behalf and subject to contractual confidentiality obligations:
| Service provider | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Website hosting, content delivery, security, short-term storage of enquiry submissions, and aggregate analytics | United States (global infrastructure) |
| Microsoft Corporation | Email delivery of enquiry submissions (Microsoft 365) | United States (global infrastructure) |
| Nexanomics (a related CyberCraft project) | Website usage measurement | Global infrastructure |
| Google LLC | Web font delivery | United States (global infrastructure) |
We may also disclose personal information where required or authorised by law, including in response to court orders, regulatory requirements, or law enforcement requests.
Cross-border disclosure
As described above, your personal information may be transferred to service providers located outside of Australia and New Zealand, specifically in the United States. We ensure these transfers comply with both Australian and New Zealand privacy law:
- Australian Privacy Act (APP 8): We take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle your information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles. Cloudflare holds Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) certification and maintains a Data Processing Addendum that provides contractual safeguards.
- New Zealand Privacy Act (Principle 12): We ensure that overseas recipients are subject to privacy protections comparable to those under the Privacy Act 2020. Cloudflare's CBPR certification and contractual commitments satisfy this requirement.
Your privacy rights
Under Australian law
Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you (APP 12)
- Request correction of personal information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading (APP 13)
- Complain about a breach of the Australian Privacy Principles
- Request deletion of your personal information, subject to any legal obligations we may have to retain it
Under New Zealand law
Under the Information Privacy Principles, you have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you (IPP 6)
- Request correction of personal information (IPP 7)
- Be informed about how your personal information is collected, used, and disclosed
- Complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner about any interference with your privacy
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy. We will respond to access and correction requests within 20 working days. There is no fee for requesting access to your personal information.
If we refuse an access or correction request, we will provide written reasons and information about how to complain about the refusal.
Data breach notification
In the event of a data breach involving your personal information that is likely to result in serious harm, we will:
- Notify affected individuals as soon as practicable
- Notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme under Part IIIC of the Privacy Act 1988
- Notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of New Zealand where the breach affects individuals in New Zealand, in accordance with Part 6 of the Privacy Act 2020
- Provide recommendations about the steps you should take in response to the breach
We will complete our assessment of any suspected breach within 30 days of becoming aware of it, consistent with Australian requirements.
Cookies and tracking
We set one first-party cookie: your region preference (Australia or New Zealand), if you choose one, so the site shows the right region on your next visit. It contains only the letters "AU" or "NZ" and identifies nothing about you.
The Nexanomics measurement script described under "Information collected automatically" does not set cookies. It uses tab-scoped session storage, which your browser discards when the tab is closed, and it does not fingerprint devices. It is not a marketing pixel or a retargeting technology, and we do not use social media tracking scripts.
Cloudflare may set limited cookies for security purposes (such as bot detection and DDoS mitigation). These cookies are essential for the secure operation of our website, do not store personal information, and cannot be used to track you across other websites.
Children's privacy
Our services are directed at businesses and organisations, not 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 delete it promptly.
Automated decision-making
We do not currently use automated decision-making or profiling systems that make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy to provide transparency about such systems, consistent with upcoming requirements under APP 1 (effective 10 December 2026).
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the "last updated" date below and post the revised policy on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
