What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact forms
We collect personal information such as your name, email address, and any other details you provide when using our contact forms. This information is used to respond to your inquiries.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)
TechnoTan complies with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) as set out in the Privacy Act 1988. We ensure that your personal data is collected, used, and disclosed in a way that is lawful and transparent.
Cross-Border Data Disclosure
We may transfer your personal information to countries outside of Australia. In doing so, we ensure that any third parties involved comply with Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) or other adequate protections are in place. For example, personal data transferred to third parties in other countries will be protected through contractual agreements in compliance with the APPs.
Who we share your data with
TechnoTan respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. We do not sell, trade, or transfer your Personally Identifiable Information to outside parties unless necessary to comply with Australian law or to provide our services. This includes website hosting partners and other third parties who assist us in operating our website or conducting our business, provided they agree to keep this information confidential.
Analytics
We may use third-party analytics services to track and report on how visitors use the website. This helps us improve our site and services, but no personally identifiable information is collected for this purpose.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to access and correct your personal information. You may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you or request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To exercise these rights, please contact us.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your contact information
Your contact information is used to respond to inquiries, process orders, and send information and updates pertaining to orders. It may also be used to send occasional company news, updates, related product or service information, etc., if you have opted to receive our email newsletter.
Direct Marketing
We may use your personal information to send you marketing and promotional materials that may be of interest to you. You can opt out of receiving such materials at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email we send or by contacting us directly.

Additionally, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
What data breach procedures we have in place
In the event of a data breach, we will notify you via email within seven business days of becoming aware of the breach. We are also committed to the Individual Redress Principle, ensuring that individuals have the right to take legal action against data collectors and processors who fail to comply with the law.
What third parties we receive data from
TechnoTan may receive data from third-party analytics providers, advertising networks, and search information providers. We may also receive data from third parties that provide technical, payment, and delivery services.
