1. Who we are
This website (https://www.aussiesheets.com/), operated by AussieSheets, provides free Excel templates for Australian users. We take your privacy seriously and handle any personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Privacy enquiries: [email protected]
2. What information we collect
We collect as little personal information as possible. Specifically:
- Technical data — IP address (anonymised), browser type, operating system, referring website and language setting. This is needed for the site to run safely and reliably.
- Usage statistics — pages visited, clicks and templates downloaded. We only collect this with your consent through the cookie banner.
- Contact details — when you email us: your email address and the contents of your message.
We do not require registration, a newsletter sign-up or any payment details to download templates.
3. Why we collect it
- To protect the site against misuse (technical data).
- To understand which templates are used most, so we can improve our collection (analytics cookies — with your consent).
- To respond to your contact enquiry.
- To show advertising via ad networks (only after you give consent).
4. Cookies and Google AdSense
This site uses cookies. Some are set by us; others are set by third parties such as Google. We use Google AdSense to display advertising. Google and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings, or learn more in the links below. For a full breakdown of the cookies we use, see our Cookie Policy.
5. Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We only share it with:
- Our hosting provider — to run the website.
- Google Analytics — with anonymised IP, only after consent via the cookie banner.
- Ad networks (Google AdSense) — only if you accept personalised advertising.
Some of these providers are located overseas (including the United States), so your information may be processed outside Australia.
6. How long we keep information
- Access logs: up to 6 months.
- Statistics (anonymised): up to 26 months.
- Emails: up to 24 months after the last reply.
7. Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Principles you can ask us to access the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate. You can also withdraw your consent to cookies and advertising at any time through the cookie settings on this site.
Email [email protected] to make a request. We will respond within a reasonable time, usually within 30 days.
8. Complaints
If you are not happy with how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. If you are still not satisfied, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
