Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Stack Advice ("we", "us", or "our") operates stackadvice.com.au. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

1. Information We Collect

Contact form

When you use the contact form on our site, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not shared with third parties other than our email delivery provider (Formspree).

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymised data about how visitors use our site — including pages viewed, time on site, and general geographic location (country/city level). This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to track sessions. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies for analytics purposes (Google Analytics) and to enable the reCAPTCHA spam protection on our contact form (Google reCAPTCHA). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect some functionality.

2. Affiliate Links

Some links on Stack Advice are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences our editorial recommendations — we only recommend tools we believe are genuinely useful. For full details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to enquiries submitted via our contact form
  • Understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it
  • Protect our contact form from spam and automated abuse (reCAPTCHA)

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process data on our behalf:

5. Data Retention

Contact form messages are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry. Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default. We do not maintain any other databases of personal information.

6. Your Rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act, you have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate. To make a request, contact us via our contact page. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
