Privacy Policy

Who We Are

JustOzz is an Australian local news and lifestyle guide. Our website address is https://justozz.com.au.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it.

Information We Collect

JustOzz is a read-only publication — we do not require you to create an account or log in to read our content. As a result, we collect very limited personal data.

We may collect the following information automatically when you visit our site:

  • Your IP address and approximate location (country/city level)
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring website or search query that brought you to us

This information is collected via server logs and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to help us understand how our content is used and to improve the site. It is not used to identify you personally.

Cookies

We use cookies to help us understand how visitors use JustOzz. These are analytics cookies only — they do not store personal information such as your name or email address.

If you use a browser extension or device setting to block cookies, the site will still work fully. You will simply not be counted in our analytics.

Some pages on our site include embedded content from Google Maps. Google may set its own cookies when this content loads. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details.

If we introduce advertising in the future, third-party vendors — including Google — may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to JustOzz and other websites. Any such advertising cookies would be separate from our analytics cookies, and you would be able to manage or disable personalised advertising as described in the Advertising section below.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some articles on JustOzz include embedded content from third-party services (for example, Google Maps). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited those websites directly.

These third-party services may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those services if you have concerns.

Advertising

To help keep our content free to read, JustOzz may display advertising in the future. If we do, we may use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google.

Where advertising is shown, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to JustOzz and other websites across the internet. The Google advertising cookie (including DoubleClick) would enable Google and its partners to show you more relevant ads.

If and when advertising is enabled, you would be able to control the ads you see and opt out of personalised advertising at any time:

Disabling personalised advertising would not remove ads — you may still see non-personalised ads. For more information, see Google's Advertising Privacy & Terms.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Understand how our content is performing and which topics interest our readers
  • Improve the design and usability of the site
  • Diagnose technical issues

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

Aggregated, anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely for trend analysis. Raw server logs are typically retained for 30 days before being deleted.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request information about what data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of any personal data we hold about you
  • Opt out of analytics tracking by using browser privacy settings or a tool such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on

Contact

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, please contact us.
