Privacy policy
How The Builder Times handles the small amount of data we collect.
This policy explains what personal information The Builder Times collects, why, and what choices you have. It is written to align with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the publication.
What we collect
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the email address you provide. When you browse the site we collect standard, aggregated analytics — pages viewed, approximate region and device type — to understand what our readers find useful. We do not ask for, or want, sensitive personal information.
How we use it
Your email is used to send the newsletter you asked for and, occasionally, related updates from The Builder Times. Analytics are used only in aggregate to improve our coverage and the performance of the site. We do not sell your personal information.
Advertising
We display advertising to fund the publication. Advertisers may measure whether their ads were shown or clicked, but we do not share your email address or identity with them. Advertising is always labelled as such.
Third parties
We rely on a small number of service providers — hosting, email delivery and analytics — who process data on our behalf under their own privacy obligations. We only share what those services need to function.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in every email. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you by emailing privacy@thebuildertimes.com.au. We'll respond within a reasonable time.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version always lives on this page.
