Harness Property (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose personal information in connection with your use of harnessproperty.com, in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
1. What Personal Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of personal information:
- Contact details you provide voluntarily, such as your name and email address, when you submit a contact form, subscribe to a newsletter, or otherwise get in touch with us.
- Usage data, collected automatically through analytics tools (see Section 4), such as pages visited, time spent on the site, referring website, general location (derived from IP address), device and browser type.
- Cookies and similar technologies, as described in Section 5 below.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive information (such as health, financial account details, or government identifiers) through this website, and we do not require you to provide personal information to simply browse our published guides and articles.
2. How We Collect Personal Information
We collect personal information:
- Directly from you, when you fill out a contact form, subscribe to updates, or email us directly;
- Automatically, through cookies and analytics tools when you browse the website;
- From third-party service providers we use to operate the website (such as our web hosting, email, or analytics providers).
3. How We Use Your Personal Information
We use personal information to:
- Respond to your enquiries or messages;
- Send you requested updates, newsletters, or new guide notifications (only if you have opted in);
- Understand how visitors use our website, so we can improve our content and site experience;
- Maintain the security and proper functioning of the website;
- Comply with our legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
4. Third-Party Service Providers and Disclosure
We use third-party service providers to help operate this website, which may involve limited disclosure of personal or usage information to those providers, including:
- Web hosting and content delivery providers, to host and serve the website;
- Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics), to understand website traffic and usage patterns;
- Email or newsletter service providers, if you subscribe to updates;
- Form-handling plugins, to process and route enquiries submitted via our contact form.
Some of these providers (for example, Google Analytics) may store or process data on servers located outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles, though we recommend reviewing the relevant provider’s own privacy policy for details of their specific data handling practices.
We do not disclose your personal information to our recommended property or finance partners (see our Partner Disclosure page) unless you separately choose to contact or engage with them directly — clicking a link to a partner’s website is not itself a disclosure of your information to us or to them.
5. Cookies
This website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to:
- Enable core website functionality;
- Understand how visitors use our content (via analytics tools);
- Remember your preferences on return visits.
Most web browsers allow you to control or disable cookies through their settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of this website.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Access, Correction, and Complaints
You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, and to request correction if any of it is inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete.
If you wish to access or correct your personal information, or if you have a concern or complaint about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us using the details in Section 9 below. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
8. Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for use by adults researching property and finance decisions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
