This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit notastandard.org and its subdomains.
What we collect
We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it through our website forms. This includes:
- Contact form: your name, email address, organisation (optional), and message content

We do not use cookies, analytics tracking, or advertising pixels on this website. We do not collect information automatically beyond standard server logs (see Hosting below).
How we use your information
We use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry, send you research updates you have subscribed to, and communicate with you about our services. We will not use your information for any purpose other than what you provided it for without your consent.
Form processing
Our website forms are processed by Formspree, a third-party form handling service based in the United States. When you submit a form, your data is transmitted to and temporarily stored by Formspree before being forwarded to us via email. Formspree's privacy policy governs their handling of your data.

Third-party disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties. We do not share your information with anyone other than as described in this policy (Formspree for form processing, GitHub for hosting) unless required by law.
Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, and disclosure. Our website is served over HTTPS, and we use reputable third-party services with their own security practices.
Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and request corrections to any information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. To make a request, contact us at hello@notastandard.org.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. Contact form submissions are retained for the duration of any resulting business relationship. Subscription email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe.
