Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 July 2026
1. Introduction
Dataflow Tools ("we", "us", "our") operates the website dataflow-tools.digital, an editorial publication providing general, educational content about data organisation practices for teams. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained within it. We are based in South Australia and this policy applies to all visitors to our site, regardless of location.
2. What personal information we collect
We collect limited personal information, specifically what you choose to provide through our contact form: your email address, an optional name, and the content of your message. We do not collect sensitive information as defined under the Privacy Act, and we do not ask for financial details, government identifiers, or health information through this site.
3. How information is collected
Our contact form is configured to open a pre-filled email in your device's default mail client rather than transmitting data directly to a server we control. This means the information you enter is sent as a standard email, in the same way as if you had composed it yourself. We do not operate a backend database that stores form submissions independently of this email.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies to support core site functionality and, where you consent, to understand aggregate usage patterns such as which pages are viewed. Full detail on cookie categories, purposes and retention periods is available in our separate Cookie Policy. You can manage your preferences at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link available on every page of this site.
5. Why we collect and use information
Personal information submitted through our contact form is used solely to respond to your enquiry, whether that is a question about a published guide, a topic suggestion, or general correspondence. We do not use contact form submissions for direct marketing, and we do not sell, rent or trade personal information to third parties for any purpose.
6. Disclosure of personal information
We do not disclose personal information collected through this site to third parties, except where required by Australian law, such as in response to a lawful request from a regulatory or law enforcement body, or where necessary to protect our legal rights. As our contact form routes through your own email client, any email service provider you use will process the message according to its own privacy terms.
7. Data storage and security
Given the limited nature of data collected directly by us, most personal information relating to enquiries resides within standard email systems rather than a dedicated database maintained by Dataflow Tools. We take reasonable steps, consistent with APP 11, to protect information within our control from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including maintaining up to date software and limiting access to correspondence.
8. Access and correction
Under APPs 12 and 13, you may request access to personal information we hold about you and request correction if it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. To make such a request, contact us using the details in section 10 below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may need to verify your identity before providing access.
9. Overseas disclosure
We do not knowingly transfer personal information overseas as a matter of course. However, third-party services used to operate this website, such as content delivery networks for fonts and icons, or analytics tools where consented to, may process limited technical data outside Australia as part of their standard global infrastructure.
10. Complaints and contact
If you have concerns about how we handle personal information, please contact us at info@dataflow-tools.digital or +61 8 8229 7676, or write to 107 Henley Beach Rd, Mile End SA 5031. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). This policy may be updated periodically, with the current version always available on this page.
