Calculator data: All data you enter into our tools is processed in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers. When you close the page, the data is gone.
Share/save URLs: Some tools offer a "share" feature that encodes your inputs into the URL. This data is only stored in the URL itself — not on our servers.
Account data: If you create an account, your email, name, and saved results are stored on Supabase servers. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us.
Analytics data: Anonymised analytics data is stored by Google Analytics in accordance with their retention policies.

Our website contains links to external websites (e.g., Services Australia, Department of Home Affairs, health providers). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
