Pixelated.org respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site or contact us, how it is used, and the choices available to you.
Who We Are
Pixelated.org is an Australian-based website sharing personal growth and wellbeing articles and resources for general information and inspiration. You can browse without creating an account or providing your name or email address. Some technical and usage information is collected automatically, as explained below.
Information You Provide
If you email us, we receive your email address, any name you provide, and the contents of your message and attachments. We use this information to respond to your enquiry and manage related correspondence.
Comments are currently disabled on the site.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit Pixelated.org, information about your device and use of the site may be collected, including:
- Browser type, operating system and device information
- Pages viewed, interactions and time spent engaging with content
- Referral sources and approximate location
- Cookie identifiers used to distinguish browsers and visits
Our hosting and security systems may also record technical information, such as your IP address, requested pages and the date and time of access, to operate the website, diagnose problems and help prevent misuse.
Google Analytics and Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use Pixelated.org and to improve our content and website experience. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect usage information. Cookies are small data files stored on your device.
Analytics information can include online identifiers and information about individual visits and interactions. Although we use reports that summarise visitor activity, the underlying information is not necessarily anonymous.
For more information, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google’s Privacy Policy.
Cloudflare may also use cookies to support security features, such as distinguishing legitimate visitors from automated traffic, depending on the features in use. These serve a different purpose from analytics cookies. See Cloudflare’s cookie information for details.
You can manage, delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website features and does not necessarily prevent all technical or usage information from being collected. Google also provides a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for supported browsers.
Amazon Affiliate Links
Amazon affiliate links appear only within the Good Reads section of Pixelated.org, including its book recommendation pages. If you follow one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
When you follow an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may use cookies and similar technologies to recognise the referral and attribute qualifying purchases. Amazon handles information collected through its services under its own privacy notices. See the notices for Amazon US, Amazon UK and Amazon Australia.
Embedded Content and External Links
Pages may include embedded content, such as videos, or links to other websites. Embedded content may connect to the provider’s servers when the page loads, allowing that provider to collect information about your device and interaction with the content. If you are signed in to that service, it may associate this activity with your account.
When you follow an external link, the destination website handles your information under its own privacy policy. We do not control the privacy practices of these external services.
How Information Is Used and Shared
We use information to respond to enquiries, improve content and functionality, understand visitor engagement, and maintain the security and operation of the site.
We do not sell your personal information. Service providers supporting our hosting, content delivery, security, email and analytics may process information as part of providing those services. Information may also be disclosed where required by law.
Hosting, Content Delivery and Overseas Processing
Pixelated.org is hosted by HostDime using cloud infrastructure located in Orlando, Florida, United States. Information stored on that hosting infrastructure is therefore held in the United States.
We also use Cloudflare’s content delivery network (CDN) to help deliver website content efficiently and protect the site. Cloudflare processes visitor requests and technical information, which may include IP addresses, requested URLs, browser information and traffic data.
Cloudflare operates a global network, so information may be processed outside Australia, including in the United States and other countries where Cloudflare or its service providers operate. For more information, see Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
Other service providers, including Google Analytics, may also process or store information outside Australia. The locations and handling of that information depend on the provider and the service used.
Data Retention and Security
Email correspondence is retained as needed to respond to enquiries, maintain relevant records and meet any applicable legal obligations.
Google Analytics retains user-level and event-level information according to the settings applied to our Analytics property and Google’s applicable policies. Standard aggregated reports are not subject to the same retention settings and may remain available for longer. Technical logs may be retained for operational and security purposes.
We take reasonable steps to protect information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.
Your Privacy Choices and Requests
Depending on your location and the laws that apply, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. Where processing relies on your consent, you may have the right to withdraw that consent.
You can contact us to make a privacy request. We may need to verify your identity before acting on it. Our ability to fulfil a request may depend on the information we hold, whether we can identify the relevant records, and any legal obligations to retain information.
Contact and Privacy Complaints
If you have a question, request or complaint about how we handle your information, you can contact us. Please include enough detail for us to understand your concern. We will review it and respond using the contact details you provide.
We seek to handle personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the Australian Privacy Act where it applies. Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may also be able to raise a complaint with a privacy regulator.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the site, our practices or applicable requirements. The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated date.
