Privacy Policy

This policy explains how The Whisky Ledger handles personal information, in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

We collect only the information you choose to provide through our contact form (name, email address, subject and message), together with standard technical information such as browser type, device type and pages visited. We do not collect sensitive information and we do not knowingly collect information from persons under 18 years of age.

Contact form information is used solely to respond to your enquiry or correction request. Technical information is used in aggregate to understand which articles are read and to maintain the security and performance of the site.

We use essential cookies to operate the site and, with your consent, analytics cookies to measure readership. Consent is requested through the banner shown on your first visit and may be withdrawn at any time. Details are set out in our Cookie Policy.

We do not sell or rent personal information. Information may be handled by service providers who host this site or provide analytics, and may be disclosed where required by Australian law.

You may request access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you, and you may request its deletion. Requests can be made through our contact page. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).

Contact enquiries are retained only as long as necessary to deal with the matter and any related record-keeping obligation. We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access.

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always published on this page.
