Australian Property Forum (australianpropertyforum.com) is operated as an independent information platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit our site.

Information We Collect

We collect anonymous usage data through analytics tools (including Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. This data includes pages visited, time on site, device type, approximate geographic region, and referring source. We do not collect names, email addresses, or personal identifying information unless you voluntarily contact us by email.

Google AdSense & Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. You can review Google's advertising policies at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Third-party advertising partners may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, time of visit, and pages viewed in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. We do not share personally identifiable information with advertising partners.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies to support analytics, advertising, and to remember user preferences such as cookie consent and currency selection. By continuing to use this site you consent to our use of cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not function correctly as a result.

Third-Party Services

We use Google Analytics (analytics), Google AdSense (advertising), Supabase (hosting and database infrastructure), and Replicate (image generation). Each operates under their own privacy policies, available on their respective websites.

Affiliate Links

This site participates in affiliate programs. When you click certain links and make a purchase or enquiry, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial independence.

Visitors from the EEA, UK and California

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have specific rights under the GDPR, UK GDPR and CCPA respectively, including the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you. Because we do not collect personally identifying information directly, requests should be made to the relevant third-party processors. You may also withhold consent to personalised advertising via your browser controls or the opt-out links provided above.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

Data Retention

We do not store personal data directly. Anonymous analytics and advertising data is retained by third-party providers according to their own retention policies.
