Privacy policy.

What information this static release processes, including local reading lists and buying checklists.

Last updated: 9 November 2026. This policy describes the version of Tech Terrace distributed as a static HTML website. Additional services may require this document to be updated before they are enabled.

What we ask from visitors

There is no user registration, checkout, newsletter signup form, comment system or online contact form. We do not ask you to submit personal details to read articles. If you use an email link, your email application sends the message you choose, and that correspondence can be used to respond to the enquiry.

Browser storage for optional features

The reading-list feature uses local storage in your own browser to remember which articles you save. The interactive buying checklist similarly remembers ticks for each device category. These values are not sent to a Tech Terrace server by the site scripts. You can remove saved articles, reset the checklist or clear this website's local browser data. Storage can be blocked by your browser, in which case the features may not persist.

Hosting and request logs

Web hosts and security infrastructure typically process operational request data such as IP address, user agent, requested URLs, times and errors when serving a site. The hosting provider may retain logs for performance, abuse prevention and security. The handling and retention of hosting logs depend on the service configuration and should be reviewed by the site operator.

Cookies, analytics and advertising at launch

This launch package does not include third-party advertising scripts, affiliate tracking pixels, analytics services or a marketing consent system. We do not intentionally set tracking cookies through the page code. If services such as Google advertising or an affiliate network are introduced, we must update this policy to identify the relevant providers, purposes, data transfers, cookies or identifiers and applicable user choices, and implement legally or contractually required consent controls.

External links

Some guides link to official sources and external websites. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control their tracking or retention practices when you leave Tech Terrace.

Data enquiries and deletion

To ask about data you provided in a direct email enquiry, or request correction or deletion as applicable, contact editor@techterrace.com.au. We may need enough information to verify the request. We will update this policy when the site or its data practices materially change.

Children

This is a general-audience publication, not a service designed to collect personal information from children. There is no account or age-targeted sign-up process on the site.
