Your privacy on Altavelife.com
Altavelife.com is an independent educational site. We collect very little information, sell nothing, and don't share your data with advertisers — because we don't have any.
Who we are
Altavelife.com (altavelife.com) publishes free, non-commercial gardening education for Australians. This policy explains what information we handle when you visit the site or get in touch.
Last updated: June 2026.
What we collect
We keep things minimal by design.
- Browsing the site: We don't require an account to read our articles. We don't run advertising trackers or sell visitor profiles.
- Contact form: The contact page includes a demonstration form. In its current form, messages are not transmitted to a server or stored by us. If that changes in future, we'll update this policy before collecting anything.
- Correspondence: If you email us directly, we'll have whatever you choose to send — typically your email address and message content — so we can reply.
Local storage & cookies
The site stores your light/dark theme preference in your browser's local storage under the key al-theme. This is a functional setting only — it remembers your display choice on return visits. We don't use it to identify you.
We don't set marketing or analytics cookies. Your hosting provider or content delivery network may log standard technical data (such as IP address and browser type) as part of serving pages — that's normal for any website and is governed by their own policies.
How we use information
Any information you provide is used only to operate and improve Altavelife.com — for example, to answer a question, fix an error in an article, or understand which topics readers find useful. We don't use your details for advertising, profiling, or lead generation.
Sharing & disclosure
We don't sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may disclose information only if required by Australian law or to protect the rights and safety of Altavelife.com and its readers.
Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, you may have rights to access or correct personal information we hold about you. Because we collect so little, there's usually nothing on file — but if you've contacted us and want to know what we have, or want it deleted, please get in touch.
Children
Altavelife.com is written for a general audience. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 15. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page when our practices change. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any revision. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
