At Allectrixs, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through our website, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Who We Are
Allectrixs is a registered electrical installation family partnership operating in Melbourne, Victoria. Our website is located at: https://allectrixs.au

2. Information We Collect
Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect:

Your name, email address, and website (if provided)
Your IP address and browser user agent string (to help detect spam)
An anonymised hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service (operated by Automattic) to check if you use it. If you do, and your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture may be displayed publicly with your comment.

Media
If you upload images to our website, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies to enhance your experience:

Comment cookies: Save your name, email, and website for 1 year (optional).
Login cookies: Last 2 days (or 2 weeks if “Remember Me” is selected).
Screen/display cookies: Last 1 year.
Temporary cookies: Used to check if your browser accepts cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
Editing cookies: Store a post ID (no personal data) for 1 day when you edit content.
You can disable cookies in your browser, but some site features may not work properly.

Embedded Content
Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, maps, social media posts). This content behaves as if you visited the original site. These third-party sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction—especially if you’re logged into their services.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

Display and manage comments on our website
Prevent spam and protect site security
Improve your browsing experience (via cookies)
Respond to your inquiries (if you contact us)
We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We only share your data in the following circumstances:

Automattic Inc. (USA) and Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd. (Ireland):
Gravatar: To display your public profile picture (if you use the service).
Akismet: To detect and block spam. Comment data (name, email, IP, user agent, content) is sent to Akismet for analysis. This data may be processed in the United States or Ireland.
Legal compliance: We may disclose your information if required by Australian law or to protect our legal rights.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

5. International Data Transfers
Because we use Akismet and Gravatar (services provided by Automattic), your data may be transferred and processed outside Australia, including in the United States and Ireland.

Automattic implements appropriate safeguards (including EU Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your data. We consider these measures sufficient to meet our obligations under APP 8 (Cross-border disclosure of personal information).

Access the personal information we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate or outdated information
Request deletion of your data (unless we must retain it for legal, tax, or security reasons)
Request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format
If you’ve left a comment or have an account, you can contact us (below) to exercise these rights.

8. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your devices secure.
