This website is owned and operated by Adcraft Studio (ABN: 31 651 899 731) (“we”, “us”, “our”).

Our website address is: https://adcraftstudio.com.au

By accessing or using our website, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our website.

2. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms and this Privacy Policy at any time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this document will be updated when changes are made. Your continued use of the website after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

3. What we collect & how we use it

We collect and use information to operate the website, maintain security, respond to enquiries, and improve performance and user experience.

(a) Comments and user-generated content

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string. We do this to assist with spam detection, site security, and moderation.

(b) Media uploads

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location-data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors may be able to download images from the site and extract location data from them.

(c) Cookies & other tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to support functionality, security, analytics, and performance monitoring.

Cookies may be used for the following purposes:

• If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
• If you visit our login page, we may 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 set up cookies to save your login information and screen-display preferences. Login cookies last for two days and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks. If you log out, login cookies are removed.
• If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

We may also use other tracking technologies (such as web beacons, analytics tools, and local storage) for site analytics, performance monitoring, and to improve content and user experience.

You can block or limit cookies via your browser settings. However, doing so may affect your ability to use some features of our website.

(d) Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, social feeds) from third-party websites.

Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the third-party website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

4. Who we share your data with

We may disclose information in limited circumstances, including:

• If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
• Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
• We may share aggregated and anonymised usage data with third parties for analytics and performance measurement.
• We do not sell personal data to third parties.
• We may disclose personal information where required or authorised by law, regulation, or legal process (for example, a law enforcement request).

5. Retention of your data

• If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than hold them in a moderation queue.
• For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in the user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
• We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required to comply with applicable law.
• We may anonymise information so it is no longer personal information and retain it for longer.

6. Your rights over your data

In accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (and where applicable, other data-protection regimes), you may have the right to:

• request access to the personal data we hold about you (right of access)
• request correction of inaccurate personal data
• request deletion of your personal data (right to erasure), subject to legal obligations to retain certain data
• request transfer of your personal data to another service (right to data portability), where technically feasible
• object to or restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at enquiries@adcraftstudio.com.au. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

7. Where your data is sent / International transfers

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, which may involve transferring data to a third party (and potentially outside Australia).

We may use third-party service providers (such as hosting, analytics, and email services) that store or process data in other countries. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure your personal information is handled in a manner consistent with applicable privacy obligations.

By using our website, you acknowledge that international transfers may occur as described above.

You agree not to reproduce, modify, disseminate, republish, display, or create derivative works of any part of the website (or its content) without our express written permission.

You must not use the website in a way that causes, or may cause, damage to the website, interferes with access to it, or breaches any applicable law.
